CURRENT NOTES OF THE TURF. Jockey T. Smith, who was ruled off at Denver in 1914. was reinstated last week and is to resume riding at Tijuana. Magnet, which was kicked while at the post Wednesday, is lame, and although the injury is not at all apt to lie permanent, it may lay him on the shelf for a week or ten days and possibly longer. J. W. Schorrs crack two-year-cld, Harry Kelly, figured in a sensational work-out over the Douglas Park track a day or two ago in preparation for his engagement in the Spring Trial Stakes. The work was an eighth in 11%. a quarter in 22; three-eighths in 34 «f, and a half mile in 48%, accomplished over a muddy track. The Trinidad Breeders Stakes, at three-quarters, was won on May 25 by Rosey. ch. f, 3, by Fronte-nac-— Kosefinch, by a length. W. E. Nunn. by Hamilton — Jane Grey, was second, and Mallet, 3, by Hurst Park — Prophetess, was third. All the above horses were bred in Kentucky and sold to British West Indies parties last year. John E. Madden has sold to Louis Martine a yearling colt by Plaudit — Ivabel for ,000. Ivabel, the dam of this yearling, is a daughter of Ogden and Ivory Bells, by Himyar out of the good race mare, Ida Pickwick, by Mr. Pickwick. Ivory Bells is the dam of Old Rosebud. Mars Cassidy. James Butlers good two-year-old Ivory Black and others. The decision of the Jockey Club to abandon the flat racing meeting at Windsor, England, because of the death of Ijord Kitchener, caused two important handicaps to 1m- canceled. These were the June Three- Year-Old Handicap of ,500 and the Anzac Handicap of ,500. These two races may lie decided at the next Windsor meeting on July 2S and 29. Celandria paid rather dearly for her victory in the. Ladies Handicap Friday. She was kicked on the stifle while at the post, and as if this were not enough, was badly cut on the coronet. Some horse shod with hud heel-calks stepped on her foot, cutting it badly just above the upper rim of her hoof. James McLaughlin, her trainer, recalls that she was injured in the same way last August at Saratoga. In that case- blood poisoning followed the injury, and she was out of training for some weeks in consequence. At Belmont Park, a day or two ago. James McLanghlin recalled the fact that the first flat race lie ever rode was in 1S77, when he won a stake at Jerome Park on Lady Salvers, a bay filly by Longfellow — Geneuru. by Lexington. It was a stake for three-year-old fillies, and at first he was under the imp-ession that it was the Ladies Stakes, but it turns out that Idalia was the winner of that time-honored race in 1S77, and she was ridden by Barbee. James McLaughlin won the Ladies with Miss Woodford in 1X83, with Miss Palmer in 1885, with Bandala in MM and with Bella B. in 1888.
