NOTES OF THE TURF. P. T. Chinn shipped his seventeen horses from Latonia to Juarez yesterday. Milton B. pulled up lame after the funning of the Latonia Cup race on Saturday. The two-year-olds of South Australia are condemned as a poor lot this season. Capitau Bravo has been gelded and will be turned out in Tennessee until next year. Paul J. Miles has purchased Topland and the horse will go to Juarez to race during the wMnter. During the month of November seven race meetings are scheduled to be held in the little state of Tasmania. Bourbon Beau is to stand at Walter Paynes farm near Lexington next year. His owner, Thomas Collins, plans to buy some mares to mate with him. Jockey C. Peak is in a fair way to recover from the effects of his recent fall without the necessity of an operation, which was at one time feared. George Lindenbergcr, official timer at Juarez, will not leave Louisville for Juarez until about three days before the opening there on Thanksgiving Day. Harry Giddiugs has selected the name Harry Bas-sett for his promising yearling colt by Bassetlaw My Honey. II. J. P. Good, sporting editor of the Montreal Mail, suggested the name. This is said to be the best racing prospect ever raised by Mr. Gid-dings, who in recent seasons has contributed to the Canadian turf such good ones As Hearts of Oak and Beehive. Jockey Clarence Turner will race at Charleston this winter under contract to M. S. Moore, of Dayton, Ohio. Turner recently bought his release from his former employer. Amos Turney. of Paris, Ky. Moore will have first call for 00 a month, and other mounts will be free lance. After the Charleston meeting Turner will return to Cincinnati, to join his old employer, Luke Le Blonde and they wMll go to New York for a season on the Metropolitan tracks. One result of the Australian Jockey Clubs spring meeting was to weaken the supposition that our three-year-olds were of an exceptionally high standard. There is no doubt as to Beragoon looking the part of a first-class colt, and in the Derby he demonstrated possession of great courage. However, when pitted against the older horses in the Craven Plate he was uncomfortable at an early stage and missed a place. Sydney Referee.
