LIVE METROPOLITAN TURF GOSSIP New York, September 13. Papp, the Futurity winner, and Escoba, runner-up, were shipped yesterday morning to Lexington. Accompanying the youngsters were three thoroughbreds, the property of AV. R. Coe, which were consigned to Harry Morrisseys Kempland Stud, where they will remain until Mr. Coe secures a car load to be dispatched to his Shoshone ranch in Wyoming. The band consisted of the three-year-old colt Hells Bells and the two mares Black Eagle and Merry Thought. The latter was mated with J. E. AVideners French horse Mont dOr before her departure. Algernon Daingerfield came back from Havre de Grace yesterday. He reported favorably on the meeting in Maryland, notwithstanding the train service was not what it might have been, owing to war conditions. He saw twenty-seven trains transporting troops during forty hours on the Pennsylvania road alone. Simon Healy has announced that the Cassatt racers in his charge will not be campaigned over the Maryland circuit this fall, but will participate in the various offerings of the Hunts Associations and will then be shipped to Cassatts Chesterbrook Farm for the winter. Dodge and Star Hawk are on Hal P. Headleys farm for breeding purposes. Ed Crump is also there, Mr. Mncomber -wishing him to have a good home. Trainer C. Hughes will take Fizer and a two-year-old, the property of the Beverwyek Stable, to Louisville. Trainer J. E. Edwards reports that the colt Saiuts Bridge is seriously ill and has a fever of 108. Max Ilirsch, trainer of Papp, will leave for Lexington Friday or Saturday.
