sG s 6rs w AT east arrive safely and IN as
weeks confinement on the main deck OF an
ocean steamship. That they will suffer some Is
nearly certain, especially should the weather
prove bad, as is very likely at this season OF the
year Every effort however. has been made to
mitigate the rigois OF the voyage. The stalls
are substantially built, as nearly amidships as
possible. They are well padded and as the at

But little difficulty was experienced in getting
the lot on shpboard all having become so
familiar with Mr.. Rogers that the sound of his
voice assured them there vas no danger. Lord
Murphy and the brothers of Madge gave the
most trouble. There are no other horses on
board, and the lot are so arranged that there
are six On each side OF the ship, with the two
four-year-olds facing each other. 1t was under
stood that Mr.. Rogers would return at once to
THIS country and train Dan Sparkling Miser, and
the brown filly by Australian, out of Inverness,
10 whom the name of Lady Caroline has been
given. 1t is somewhat unfortunate that she Is
left over, as her engagements are among the
earliest OF these for the wo-yearoldS, she being
in the CRANKY stakes and In the Criterion
stakes at Newmarket in the fall. OF course no
account can be taken OF the double-trial plate
fixed for April Is, for which the Annie Bush
Canary Bird and Alala colts were entered clearly
by mistake, WHILE as far as Spendthrift is con-
cerned, it will take some sharp and careful work
TO tit him for the EPSON gold cup, to be run for
ON May rs, or the Ascot gold cup on June TO-
