Success at Fourteen. j He found it necessary ,to pay a good round sum to J. H. Hughes, who had a three-year contract on the' boy's services. ser-vices. Probably no Jockey in the business busi-ness today has met with such success so young. He Is but 14 years of age and still wears knickerbockers. His home Is In New Orleans. Tommy Meade Is also, under contract to ride for the stable. Willie Shaw, who haa been a consist- ent rider for several years, returns to his old employer, "Pittsburg Phil." He Is said to receive a retainer of 115,000. Waugh Is an apprentice lad, who was taught to ride by James Rowe. He developed so quickly that he was put on several of Mr. Keene's horses. He surprised the talent by bringing in a 100 to 1 shot on one occasion. Wonderly was engaged by J. H. Carr, who recently sold his release to Mr. Tichenor of Chicago. ' Never before in the history of the turf hay first-class Jockeys been !a such demand de-mand as at the present time.

TfSw High-Class Jockeys. lonsldertng how many will-be needed pthtn first-class racing will be enjoyed j simultaneously at various points, the present list ef good performers Is remarkably re-markably sraalL There- are many Important Im-portant Stables which, as far . .as is known, still lack the services of a capable capa-ble pilot. ' " ' The crackajacks, still remaining In this country have been quickly signed at handsome salaries. Mr. William C Whitney seems to bare well supplied himself both In America and in Cngland. in securing the services of Tommy Burns and Arthur Ar-thur Redfern In this country- and H. ("Skeets"): Martin In England. A 912,000 Performer. Bums- retainer, It is atated, will he $12,000. -He will probably make much more, aa ha is in excellent fettle, and hia services will certainly be In great demand. Arthur Redfern,' I the ' ninety-pound phenomenon, who Jumped into prominence promi-nence in about the shortest time on record, rec-ord, is unquestionably at hia weight the best rider in the country, and the outlook out-look for hia success ift tha 'Tight blue, brown cap" of his famous employer Is bright. Indeed. . Redfern commands the highest "price for riding of any of the Jockeya engaged en-gaged for the season. Bedf era a "Top-Notcher." Mr. Whitney will pay I2,00 for his services. Of this sum 120,000 goes to CoL Pepper, who had a lease on the boy. The rider will get the other $9000 and $25 additional for every winning mount.

One of the latest "finds' In the Jockey timber is William Gannon, who will ride for L. V. Bell.. James R. Keene has second call on his services. James McCormlck. trainer for 1 V. , Bell, discovered Gannon. He secured his release from W. L. Oliver, the onetime one-time Harlem boatman, as the latter did not have an extensive stable and was willing to let the lad go. Under McCormlck's guidance Gannon improved rapidly. His new employer soon realized that the boy was quick at the post and a strong,, hustling Jockey, Jock-ey, the kind that ride well in . short dashes, and handle three-year-olds to great advantage. It was while riding at the Aqueduct track that James Rowe, that really great horsemen who trains for Messrs. Keene, was attracted to Gannon. Rowe watched him carefully and decided to secure second call on his services. Another clever knight of the pigskin who will wear Mr. Bell's colors Is Rice, who piloted Hermls to victory a number num-ber of times last season. Capt. Brown's Two Cracks.
