CURRENT NOTES OF THE TURF. The .Maryland Joe-key Club has applied to the Baltimore County Racing Commission for dates for a spring meeting beginning May 1 and ending May 15. Bowie has asked for the first half of April. The seven mates belonging to Thomas F. Ryan that arrived from Fnglund last week have been Shipped to J. B. Muddens Hamburg Place Stud in Kentucky. The yearlings belonging to Jefferson Livingston that recently reached New York went west to Kentucky at the same time. All the- buildings on the once-famous Ingleside track at San Francisco have l een torn down and the lumber piled away. The whole tract of land will be planted with sugar lieets and other vegetables. Soon a true k garden w ill replace the mile track and infield where thousands formerly visited to see the running of big stakes and purses. Early this week tit San Francisco II. A. Mauser, an official of the Lower California Jockey club. received a telegram from his brother at F.l Paso containing the information that General Carranza. provisional president of Mexico, has reappointed Bshen Chata governor if Lower California and had approved of all the concessions granted. This is considered good news by the jockey club, as it does away with any possibility of Carranza stopping the races at Tijuana, as was reported from time to time he would io. Foxhall I. Keenes venture in sending Puss in Boon to England to meet her engagements in the Oaks is true sjiortsmanship and will pie-ase English turfmen. It is no certainty that the Oaks will lie run and. if it is. it will probably be such a substitute race- as was that of last year. The Oaks f this year closed with 317 entrie-s. of which some- of the two-year-old allies of last year were of extraordinary brilliancy in racing, so Puss iu Boots will find the- endenvc r to reiieat the feat of Cap and Bells a t nigh task.
