NOTES OF THE TURF. The Prix Vrdi, run at Saint Ouen. in France, yesterday, was won by Nash Turners Five oclock. The Prix Des Iris, one mile and seven-eighths, run at Saint Cloud, in France, Monday, was won by J. E. Wideners Schuyler. At Churchill Downs and Latonia only six pools will be sold in the auction pooling on each rate. This, it is figured, will make the auction betting snappier and eliminate the congestion in the mutuels that is sometimes resultant from the desire of some bettors to wait for developments in the auction l Klllllg. William C. Hayes, a well-known cross-eountrr rider and trainer, has returned from France and speaks in glowing terms of racing on the other side. .Mr. Hayes said that Nash Turner, Winnie OConnor, Ben Itigby and other American horsemen are in their best form and winning races daily. Rampart, the horse .Mr. Hayes shipped abroad last year, went wrong. Mr. Hayes will get together several good chasers this summer and take them to France.
