This makes a total of 1911.sh,000 given by the New Louisville Jockey Club for the fall stakes tills year. As no purse will be of less value than 00, there will be no days racing during thi meeting at which less than ,000 will be distributed among the horsemen and the New Louisville Jockey Club will give away not less than 7,000 during the eighteen days of racing. From every angle the coming meeting at the Downs promises to outshine its predecessors. Applications are daily coining in from all the big eastern stables for stall room for their horses and some far western owners are also booked for early arrival at the local tracks. O. A. Blanchi is expected here daily with ten horses from Sacramento, Cal.. in some of which James McManus owns an interest. One of the number is the sensational two-year-old colt Oakland, as yet unbeaten. Oakland is a son of the brilliant Bcarcatcher. and Is credited with being superior to Cash on Delivery and Anion, both of which showed good form this season on the Kentucky tracks. The McManus horses which raced in Kentucky the past spring and summer, now at. the Latonia track in charge of trainer S. Judge, will be shipped hero In a few days. They include the smart two-year-old Presumption, the three-year-olds Pay Pay, Golden Agnes. Star ORyan and Doueaster, and the four-year-old Hocky OBrien, winner of the Hopeful Stakes in 1009. Upon the arrival here of the two divisions of this big stable they will he consolidated and jointly trained by Messrs. Biauchi and Judge. AH of the horses the former looks after, he owns an interest in and the unbeaten Oakland is entirely his property. Mr. Biauchi is better known by the nickname of "Daggie" Smith." He made a strike on the track with the famous mare. Wheel of Fortune, a daughter of Gano and Jennie 15., bred by K. J. Baldwin. All told, she won twenty-eight races and, though she won no remarkably large stakes, her winnings aggregated 9,110. John v.rillin II. arrived at Churchill Downs from Lexington yesterday in charge of trainer II. C. Cottle. The latter says W. C. Weant still has Ramon Corona and Otilo at Lexington and that he has had all sorts of bad training luck with this good pair. They have been continually lame and .Mr. Weant has been unable to relieve them of their soreness. He intended to bring the sun of Kthelbert and the live-year-old gelding here this week, but has now concluded to stay in Lexington until the coming fall meeting there Is over. He has not leen able to get Ramon Corona to the post since tin- Juarez meeting last winter. Trainer Wayne Lewis is out of tho barneys until fall, when he expects to pick up about three good horses to take to Juarez, Mex., to race next winter. Mr. Lewis former employer, G. W. J. Bissell, a Pittsburg millionaire, has concluded to quit racing. He has sold all his horses in training and his yearlings as well, and now owns only a few broodmares and the foals dropped by them this season. These, Mr. Lewis says, he thinks will be disposed of the coming fall. In the collection is the fast young marc. Mettle Bereaud, which holds the five and one-half furlongs record of 1:05s at Churchill Downs, and which was bred for the first time tills year. Mr. Bissell also owns the stallion Maddalo, which will more than likely lind a new home in Mexico shortly. Col. W. E. Applegate is again at his home in the city after a Hying trip to Canada and the cast. He was at Hie Downs yesterday looking after the horses he and W. G. Yanke "jointly own, in the absence of the latter, who is now on his way to Mexico City. Mr. Yanke will probably- be absent in Mexico for a couple of weeks and during his absence Colonel Applegate will daily visit the stable. All the members of the big string are being exercised every day, but neither Hound the World nor Quartermaster have been cantered better than a two-minute clip since they reached the Downs from Latonia nearly a month ago.
