RACING- GOSSIP FROM THE EAST. Now York. Oct. 2. Frank Regan expects to win purses with Ardri this fall. This old campaigner has had a long rest and has rounded into a condition that warrants the belief that he will give an excellent account of himself. He has been shipped to Laurel for the meeting of the Maryland State Fair Association, along with Footlights and a 2-year-old. A. J. Goldsborough has had more than his share of hard luck with the horses of Thomas Monahan since lie took them in charge. Textile, one of the really good 2-year-olds of last year, has gone amiss, and Paton, another in the string, recently pulled up lame after a gallop at Gravesend. AVith these two out of commission, the stable is left with only Rock-field, a 2-year-old that was purchased at the San-ford sale last year. Con Loighton has decided that he will do his fall racing at the Pimlieo meeting of the Maryland Jockey Club, which opens October 7. He has had the ".Mr. Earl" horses in active training for a long time, and there are three 2-year-olds that should make good. Matthew M. Allen has shipped a half dozen horses, the property of Charles Kohler aud other owners, from Sheepshead Bay to Laurel. The string was prepared over the course of the Brooklyn Jockey Club. Ilerodia. a 3-year-old chestnut daughter of Adam Wild Thyme, is looked upon as the best of the lot. King James was shipped in Mr. Allens car and will be sent direct to Henry T. Oxnards Blue Ridge Stud in Virginia. The winner of the Brooklyn and Metropolitan handicaps and various stakes and cups was a picture as he was led from tha Hildreth barn on Neck Road. The weights have been assigned by Frank J. Bryan for the seven races that will make up the program of sport for Thursday at Elkins Park, Pa. Tills meeting is the invitation day of sport at which Joseph E. AVidencr will be the host. It was originally intended that there should only be six races, hut the entries were so heavy that it was found necessary to divide the first race, three-quarters mile on the flat for all ages, into two sections. Mr. Wideners previous invitation meetings have been so deservedly ponular that it is assured his delightful private track will be thronged Thursday. The horses of Richard Mortimer, Jr., trained by AVilliam II. Henry, a former cross-country rider, have been shipped from Belmont Park to Elkins Park. In the lot are Royal Aane, Kennowick and Country Guy. The latter two were schooled on the grounds of the AAestchester Racing Association.
