CURRENT NOTES OF THE TURF. Jefferson Livingston, owner of one of the largest stables of race bones on the American turf, is a patent at St. Lukes hospital in Chicago, where he is recovering from an operation for appendicitis. J. S. Hawkins attributes the recent disappointing races of his good sprinter Chalmers to the fact that he contracted fever while in training at New Orleans last winter and is still deficient in stamina following his recovery. He has an idea that as the season advances the horse will gradually regain his strength and that by fall be may be as good a horse as ever.
