sNiSiant Wrltlng IN tne Sp4H, gives tue
public a statement of what be saw the year
lings do and what he heard of them:
OF the merits of the different lots Of year
lings we have heard much but seen little.
On the evening OF Omnibus day, at Mon
mouth, we accompanied Mr.. Withers, with a
select party, to enjoy the hospitalities of
Brookdale. where, on the following day, the
yearlings were tried, as 1t was Aug. Is, the
day on which the great stakes of 1SS5-S6
closed, and Mr.. w. desired general trial as
a guide to make his nominations. We saw
five couples tried at quarter. What was
done it would be violating the confidence of
our host TO state, although, not being a bet
ting man, he has no secrets. But, to our
notion, the best was bay brother TO Marsh
Redon, by neutrality-suspicious., although
the Ventilator-Miss Basset colt is nice one
There is also a speedy sister to Duplex, but
she is rather small. Nancy's FLY is fast, but
the finest looking is the ngfellow-Brenna
FLY. OF the Rancocas lot we know only
through hearsaY, which has it that the second
batch of Mortemer's are even better than the
first Vandalite's colt is said TO be the finest,
but among the speediest is the Florence FLY,
the brother to Wanda, and the Sly Boots
colt. Mr.. Geo. Lorillard's LOT were tried DUR
ing the first week Of October, aud Mariner, a
full brother to Triton, showed considerable
speed. The Dryer string is thought to be
pretty good lot the sister to Barnes
showing it Enthusiastically, and Richfield and
Portland are both considered danger
GUS colts. Mr.. Kelso's yearlings are reputed
a wonderfully clever lot, the brother TO
Brookwood and one of the Stratfords specially
80, while the Bradamante colt is esteemed a
good one. OF Snedeker's lot, the best is
Gladys, full sister to Little Minch. She is
a grand FLY, and certain to win in the best
company. In the Clipsiana stable we rather
like the Minnock FLY, which has bsen named
Belle Garrison, in compliment TO a sister of
the stables jockey. The Miss Hardaway
colt is also grand looking fellow, with a
great turn OF speed, and has been named
Ben Pryor, in honor of his trainer. Bonnie
Prince, full brother to Bonnie Lizzie, has
outrun all the Preakness team, but the gen.
eral opinion is that there Is another in the
lot who will reverse it. Appleby d Johnson
are said to have rasping good colt in the
brother to Richmond, by Virgil, and the new
racing confederacy, called the Monmouth
stable, are said TO have a real world-beater in
colt called Saxony, by Saxon, from En-
quiress Rumor says he is the heetest colt
in Monmouth county. OF the Erdenheim
lot the best are Mink, a full brother TO
Eachus, and Promenade, son OF Dalna-
cardoch and Glidelia's dam. Mr.. Scott is
said to have wonderful yearling at Algeria,
but its identity we cannot determine. We
have been told that 1t was one of the English
bred FLIES, but have also heard it was the
FLY called Charity, by Sensation-Emma.
AS TO the value of yearling trials doctors
disagree. Waugh, who trained with signal
success for the late Mr.. Merry, in England,
is said TO have held that swell broken wear
ings will tell you the difference between
them to dot, and If it's changed at two
there's something wrong with the winner OF
the first trials Mr.. Withers, however, has
but little faith in them. Probably he speaks
out of the fullness Of his heart, as he has
more than once built upon the rock of year
ling promise, which the following year rent
TO atoms. Mr.. Waugh's experience was.
however, exceptional, as Mr.. Merry was an
enthusiast for two-year-old racing, and de-
veloped more great ones than any turfman
of his age. notably Thormanby, Belladrum,
Marksman, Sunshine, King of the Forest,
ETC., and his yearlings were thoroughly pre-
pared. Mr.. George -Lorillard's yearling trials
have been more reliable than any We know.
Sensations trial was true, but IL was Won
der; Harold's triA; vas correct, aud so was
Spinaway's, and last season Triton gave an
index TO his future by beating his lot out Of
hand. The reverse was the case az Rance
cas-, where Wanda did little to foreshadow
how great she was destined to become, the
best being Katrine, who has never seen the
post. Onondaga's trial as a yearling was
correct, but the same cannot be said of Pom
tac, whose three furlongs was such as to set
the Rancoeas people to thinking they had
another lroquois, and he was hurried off to
England, where he performed only mod
erately. We well remember Katie Pease's
first trial, but it was at two years old, and it
was so good that Mcdaniel could not believe
it, and had them out again the very next
Sunday. But whether the trials of the past
few weeks are true OF untrue, they have
shown enough to promise pretty good class
Of two-year-olds for 1885.
