Torrance OF Knowsley himself or his colts,
as every gentleman conversant with the
turf must be fully satisfied Of his superior
worth; let it suffice 10 say, that no horse
ever imported into the state has produced
more winning colts, from the number tried
than Knowsley. In 1906, nine of his colts
started, seven proved successful in winning
eleven prizes. In 1907 we have only heard
from five, two of which were winners, the
other three run with great credit, and were
always second best, beating several fine
horses. WILLIAM GAINES.
