JOCKEY CARMODYS ENGLISH CAMPAIGN Here is a rote from Newmarket. England, dated August C, from young Cnrmody, the American rider, who is there trying his fortune in English racing, and seeking to follow the footsteps of Tod Sloan, Danny Mahsr, Winnie OConnor, the Reiffs and other American riders: "I am here at Newmarket and will begin riding at the September meetings and shall probably be given mounts from the stables of Baron de Rothschild. Lord Derby, Lord Jersey, Lord Lonsdale and others uitil the season for flat racing closes, near the end of November. "The training grounds at Newmarket are much different from those of American racing centers. One can see 2,000 horses in training here of the highest type. Then they have different ways of shipping hordes here from the methods in America. Greater care is exercised, as the races are only from two to four days at each track and it requires that the racers be moved often. It would be a revelation to some American trainers and stable attaches to see how the stables and raining quarters are kept. All the stnmVs are of brick; large, clean, and with every convenience. Owners have great respect for trainers and the men who take care of their horses and the boys also show due respect for their employers. I have seen several men around seventy-five years old galloping horses iu the morning along with young apprentices of sixteen. I have seen, at times, as many as thirty-five horses sent on the course iu one set and all in the pink of con-lition."
