NOTES OF THE TURF. A dead heat between three horses occurred at an Australian meeting last month. In the Prix Citronelle, run at Lc Tremblay in France yesterday, W. K. Vanderbilts Glbelin finished second. Edward Corrigan and Pat Dunne, his nephew, have gone from Lexington to Kansas City to attend j the funeral of Patrick Corrigan. Joseph SIcLennan. who served as assistant secretary at Moncrief Park the past winter and who is to fill similar positions at Louisville and in Canada, is in Chicago for a few days. Work on the Hamilton Jockey Club Improvements will bo delayed by a Slay Day strike of carpenters and structural iron workers, but all the innovations will be complete In time for the opening in June. Dr. SrcCully has applied a blister to the shoulders of Belamour, the two-year-old Rock Sand Beldame colt owned by August Belmont. Belamour was considered the best colt that left the Nursery Stud last summer. His trials were decidedly promising. The statement sent out from Baltimore that bookmakers clerks would not be allowed to bet at the Pimlico track is declared to have been incorrect. The ruling really was that bookmakers would not be permitted to let outsiders lay odds against horses they might not like. William Hogan, trainer for Bartlett SIcLennan, the Canadian sportsman, has returned to Belmont Park from Baltimore. Trainer Hogan left Brush Broom and Lillie Hoy at Pimlico. He will prepare Agent, winner of the Champion and Whitney Sle-morial, together with a half dozen other horses belonging to different owners, for the Canadian meetings. Nothing has yet transpired to assign any reason for Kel dOr. the only Canadian candidate for the Epsom Derby, leaving the stable of Sam Darling for that of P. P. Peebles in the same county of Wiltshire in England. The average speculation on the transfer finds in It something detrimental to Kel dOrs chances. As one put? it, "I should imagine that ho has not turned out equal to Sam Darlings expectations of what a Derby horse should be, and he has probably told Sir. Dale so."
