GOSSIP AND COMMENT FROM LOUISVILLE. l/"uisville. Ky.. May 14. — J. U. Greener showed up a promising two-year-old iu Martinos at Churchill Downs on Tuesday. He is a son of Maset-lo. and his winning race was his third start of the- season. His running iu this race kept him from tilling his engagement in the Bashford Manor Stakes, but he is eligible to the Spring Trial Stakes at the ci.iniug Mouglas Bark meeting and is entered at Latouia in the- Harold Stakes ami Cincinnati Trophy. Mr. Greener is one of the most successful of turfmen in generally getting a rac-lag star out of e.ne. two or three horses. It is from his small Tennessee stable that have come such stars of recent years as Oiseuu, Olambala and Countless, and now it looks as if he has another iu this good looking brown coll. His policy is to get hold of a good mare or two aud mate them to the best sires available-. Kxcuses were made for Finerson Cochran, the favorite in the race that Martinos won. but good judges among horsemen do not think the latter will ever again have as good a chance to heat the Greener colt as he had upon Ihis occasion. II. Hvains. while the local season of racing is on at the Downs and Mouglas Bark, will take up his once noted horse. Oranite. which has been running out since early last season at J. B. Res-peaa farm in Kenton County, and in the opinion of Frank Respess, who has been looking after him this spring, this noted performer will stand train itig and racing this year. Mr. H.yums has four horses in his string here, namely Royal Meteor. Morion. Mary Ann K. ,-iiid Bonnie Kloise. All shipped well from the east and will undoubtedly give a good account of themselves in sssne of their early races at the Downs and during the coming meeting at Mouglas Bark. Hockey C. Beak has severed his connection with the stable of R. F. Carman and will ride as a free lance during his stay at the local courses this spring. Mr. Carman will, for the present, ride .1. Montour on his horses. Peak will soon go to Canada to ride for the stable controlled by F. J. Coleman. He has already contracted with Harry Oiddiugs for the mount on Beehive in the- coining Kings Plate race, at Toronto, which Beehive is regarded to have at his merry. J. C. Milam has adeleel to the big band of year lings he- has been purchasing privarelv, this spring, the following three bv Knight of the Thistle-, the sire of Worth, Kentucky Derby winner of 1812. from John H. Morris, of Bosque Bouita stud, in Woodford County. One is a brown colt out of Lflect. another a brown colt out of Result and the other a bay colt eat of Handzarra. This leaves Mr. Morris with but two e-olts of his 1814 crop - I yearlings. Milam has so far purchased seventeen yearlings this season. He- has bought them on speculation, as well aa with a view to having a good band of two-year-olds for next season. He-thinks he- has secured some exceedingly goc»d racing prospects. Al Dnnlap decided to ship his .string of horses from Lexington to Canada, though he is still there attending to his noted mare. Ocean Queen, which was badly crippled in her last start. He has siiee-ei-deei in saving the daughter of Canard for the stuil and expects to have her mated with some gciod horse before he leaves Lexington. He has already mated Price-less Jewel and Maud MeKee to Magazine, which raced successfully for several sea--on- in R. F. Carmans colors and is one of the beat horses ever sired by .1. N. Camdens Mazagau.
