Yesterday morning the train which
brought St. julien, the great king OF
the cold bloods from his California
home, arrived at Chester park, where
Maud s the queen Of the turf, was
already stabbed. In attendance upon
the mighty son Of Volunteer were q
suite worthy Of being Ia his train.
There was j. A. Goldsmith's grey en-.
tire horse Romeo, Of the strsin of that
getter of trotters, A. w. Redwood,
and who has justified his race by q
record of 2:19A Entire, also, is
Goldsmith's Dictator, as black as
his illustrious sire, and who
has come as victor to the
wire In 2:22t. With the party
also is Hickok's famous chest
nut gelding Overmsn, by Elmo, with
a record Of 2:20, while Eva, with 2:234
to her credit, and the bright little
mare Ruby, are the ladies of the reti.
nue.. Four "youngsters"--those for
midable California youngsters, who
are always givinf the surprises of the
season complete the costly string;
two of them two years Of age, and two
three years old, and oil with futures
before them.

Callers were, however, favored with
the pedigrees, and with the informa.

mettle, the King never In any finer
condition In all his life. The 20 leen
Of the Turf" Maud 8, also kept
within her elegant new quarters dur.

wraps. She was surrounded by q
train not less In distinction than than

The visiting horses will soon make
their first public appearance, aud
meanwhile they will remain for near
ly q month at the Chester stables,
while their owners and controllers re-
main the guests OF Mr.. Bhr, the dis
coverer, trainer and driver of Maud
s., and his partner, Mr.. Phipps. II
Ia hardly necessary to say that this Is
an extraordinary assembly of celebrat-
cd horses, and is rendered doubly i'm
portant by tho opportunity of seeing
together Maud S whose record of
2:1O4 has never been equaled by trot-
ter or PAGER, and st. Julien, whose
record Of 2:l1d and splendid qualities
for trotting In company creates hopes
In some of his friends that If he ever
does meet the queen at the starters
stand he'll come there again before
her.
This Is not the occasion to discuss
the chances Of . match being made
between the king and queen, and 1t i,
impossible just yet to get an utter

seem that this meeting upon common
training ground will tend to promote
the possibilities. II the race between
the two ever does come eff 1t will be
the trottiGg event of the century. Al
to the chances, no more need now be
said than that Mr.. Bair firmly believes
that Vanderbilt's mare has never yeI
shown her best, and that he has i'm
pliclt reliance upon her COMPANY
manners, and there is a ~favorite belief
In this section that she will show hel
msne at least in front of the king OF
any ''good DAY and track" where they
start In equal condition.
Chester psak Is being put in goot
condition for the Cincinnati meeting
of the Ohio and Kentucky t~rottinl
circuit, which Ia to be held there May
20, and the interest In the track will
undoubtedly be increased By the pres
ence of the celebrities, who will mean
while train upon it. 1t Is safe to say
that half q million dollars In hors'
property is now upon the track
beginning with Maud s., for whom
800, 900 has been refused, and st
Julian, who is valued at fully tina
