Eugene Lutz has had a temptlug offer for his Kentucky Endurance Stake wiuuer. Messenger Boy, when the horse is ready to retire from the turf.. The tender is understood to have come from tlie Mexican turfman, Senor Alexandre de la Arena, who is much Impressed with the colt and desires to secure him for breeding purposes in Mexico when his racing days are over; Paul Albertsou, a Montana racing man, appears to have a good claim on the. racing enclosure and firfr grounds of the Montana State Fair at Helena, as a result of having bid in the property when it was offered at sheriffs sale for 04.03 in 1896 to satisfy a claim against the Montana Fair and Racing Association, a private corporation. The state afterwards purchased the property and improved it at an expense of -half a million dollars. Mr. Albertsons claim, on the. property was completely overlooked until he demanded and received a deed from the sheriff a- few days ago in exchange for his sheriffs certificate of sale. The courts will be. called lipon to settle the status of the case. For more than two years the Maryland Jockey Club has- been gradually extending the distances of its races, and this fall it was decided to come out for the real thing that is, to provide each day one or more of such races to. test the stamina of the horses and the skill of their handlers. Some thought it was the wrong time for the experiment, their argument being that with tlie great scarcity of horses in the country it would le difficult to get. the right "sort of support, but those in. charge took the view that if the sport is to be re-established, it must come through a building up rather tliau a tearing down, and decided to make their effort. The result has been most encouraging, and the doubting ones, are now most enthusiastic in their praise. Baltimore Sun.
