Mr.. ]. I. Case thinks Jay-Eye-See is good
for 2:0S next season, barring accidents. lie
also thinks Phallas has not reached his limit.
A significant item regarding the success of
prominent English Jockeys is the late sale by
Sir John Ashley of Heath Villa, Newmarket,
to Charles Wood, the,iockey, for $1750O

tor, dam tho Mclaughlin mare; also n bay

Iroquoi5 will be trained for 1884 and his
detraotorj will then have to eat their words.
He will, il luck is with him, be great deal
better horse. His feet have grown, it is said,
and If there was room for that, then, indeed,
he was good one to run 80 well under diill-
culties.-New York Sportsman.
The American horse, Wallenstein, hes re-
tired to the stud in England, and will make
the season, along with Hampton aud Sir Fred
erick, ut Skechworth park, near Newmarket.
In this country Wallenstein was a very smart
2-year-old, SO much SO that Mr.. LOrillard
gave $4,000 for him and sent him to England,
where he ran with considerable success He
was a horse of rare finish. but triile light
for lengthy one. Besides, he never liked
his ''peacocky" uphcadedness, he being bit
of n star gazer," and from this We inferred
his dislike for q distance. His Manchester
cup, however, has long since caused us to for
give him, and we feel that he will prove
valuable cross on English mares.-Spirit of the
Times.
There are now 100 horses on tho ground o.
New Orleans, and probably score or so
more will arrive before the end of January.
Nearly all are i'll active training Among the
few turned out are Apollo and Mediator, be-
longing to Green Morris. These have been
blistercd They will probably not be taken
up before March or April. OF the Others in
the Morris string, Fellowplay looks well, and
the same could be said of Slocum, until few
days ago, when he took q cold, and has been
coughing since. MOrris's pets, however, are
the trio of Ten Brock ycarlngs, purchased
from L. b. Harper, last fall. They are among
the finest looking youngsters ever seen, and,
if appearances 20 for anything, ought to make
wonderful race horses.
The Kentucky Lire Stock Record thus speaks
of the Kentucky Derby candidates: "There
are number of high-bred youngsters not
bracketed as winners the past season who
should show good forms next year. We hear
! good accounts of Banquet, NeOphytc, Troll
lope VOyagcr, and few others. Somehow
we have taken fancy for Bob Cook growing
into u Derby horse with proper handling, as
he reminds us greatly of his sire, who did not
show so we'll rs his son at the same age
Banquet is big, grand-looking colt, aud
from his size had light training the past
season, and some think he will show high
form as a Swear old. Tits very seldom that
extremely large and overgrown horses turn
out to be great racohorses. The smaller
horses often with time develop into great
racohorses, and Luke Blackburn, Bramble,
and some others aro marked examples"
