like the Que 1 have been running, it would
| require the horees 10 win 900 during the

The ponohue family are becoming as
noted and as numerous on our turf as ever
the Day family were in Eugland when
George Nv said he could never tell which
was ''old John Day" and which was "young
John Day" OF the Donohues, there is
TBilIy,p the bright particular star OF jockey
dom; there is "Mike" fast developing into
rival of his elder brother; there is ~, Dono-
hue" already one of the cleverest of the
fesiherweights; and finally there is old Joe.
Now, old Joe, while a turfmsn ''to the man.
ner born" has fine contempt for fiat races.
AS an owner of steeplechasers, he has
national reputation, and is the most jolly,
rollickiug Irishman that ever hunted fox
over the Long Island plains, or the Jersey
palisades, and his adventures and escapades
would fill a small volume.
