Racers Off for England.

Twelve Of Mr.. James r. Keene's
race-horses were shipped for Eng.
land yesterday in the steamship,
Helvetis, of the National Line. The
horses were sent on from Kentucky
a short time since under the charge
Of j. w. Rogers, the trainer, who is
to superintebd their care during the
voyage. The A. year olds, Spend.
thrift and Lord Murphy, are the
best known racers of the stud. The
latter is in splendid condition.
Among the others are the bay colts,
Bookmaker and Mcdonald, the
chestnut filly, Bran Dance, Gems,
box, Licentiate, and Bushman. 1t
was decided at the last moment that
one of the colts brought on from
Kentucky should not be sent over.
Padded stalls, fifteen in number,
were put up in the between decks,
forward of the engines, for the use
of the horses. Upon the arrival OF
the stud in England it will be taken
to the stables which have been Sc.
cured in Newmarket. Col. Bruce,
of the IiaJ, Field, and Farm, will
accompany them as the principal
agent of Mr.. Keene.
