ENGLANDER LEADING RIDER IN ARGENTINE. Just back from Buenos Ayres, William Alison writes In The London Sportsman of racing conditions in the Argentine: "The starting was not quite so successful as when I last saw it In this country: indeed it wis Jpst about tip to English form, and no better, but wo could learn much from them in ttie expeditious method of getting up the numbers for the succeed ing race, almost as soon as the winner has been weighed In. D. Torteroio and Englander. ail American, are the two leading jockeys, and they ride t very well, but Torteroio is at some disadvantage as regards weight. . Englander. sitting at a table In i the paddock after racing, surrounded by followers, recalled the days of -Tod Sloan. I hope that the sequel may ill his case be more fortunate."
