j LEXINGTON TURF NOTES and $ Hal Price Headley returned to Beaumont Farm last night from New York. He expressed himself as well pleased with Holly-roods work thus far for the Kentucky Derby, but he thinks the price of 3 to 1 in the winter books is ridiculous, "Too short; entirely too short at this stage of proceedings," he said. Miss Daisy Proctor, manager of Joseph E. Wideners Elmendorf farm, had a wire from Miami Tuesday morning to expect a carload of horses to arrive here from Florida Wednesday morning. Cliff Porter, trainerof Charles Bachrachs Southland Stable, arrived Tuesday morning from Florida to inspect the division of the stable Charles Denman has been training at the Fair Grounds here, and to arrange for the shipment of five or six of them to join the others at Jamaica, whither they were shipped from Florida. Miss Mary Fisher, daughter of Charles T. Fisher, of Detroit, master of Dixiana, will race two horses in her own name this year, both of which she bred. One is Debs Delight, bay colt, four, by Epinard Miss Fire, by Underfire, and the other is Tootsye Cake, chestnut filly, by High Time Miss Fire. The Mary Fisher colors will be soleferino jacket, buff cross sashes and cap. They are the same as Dixiana, except that they have the cross sashes, while Dixiana has a single sash. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Oliver, after a visit to their Poplar Hill Farm here, returned to their home at Sewickley, Pa. C. Barry Shannon and family will return to Idle Hour Stock Farm frorr Palm Beach, Fla., next week. Manager Ross Long of Dixiana, in announcing the first born for Mata Hari, twin brown colts by Sickle, which came yesterday, said: "That mare always did want to do something sifferent." Then he added: "It does not seem likely that we will be able to save one of the twins. He is small and weak, while the other is normal and vigorous."
