Ed Corrigan will handle the detSch-
ment personally. Hattie Carlile is one
OF the most impi owed animals of the
stable, and Peaeemaker will strip as
likely le oking colt as there is in the
Union. Jennie I. is built to spin over
half mile at a terrible bat, but
though it NAV be that she will never
compass distance. Through all her
career, however, she should be great
over T. Y. @. st. Patrick,
it is to be supp sed, is cent to do the
general utility business, which, in his
case, will probably include hurding.
Hattie Carile having been specially
mentioned above, IL may be well TO
add that though she earned but one
bracket last year out of five starts, yet
her performances were meritorious
TIN oughout, and her position in the
last race in which she donned silk
shows that if che has improved in the
way Cf which her 10 )ks warrant sup
20 sitioD, she should be gcol goods for
the sCalun. This was at Sna.
toya on August 18th, when,
in the Kentucky stakes, she finished
behind Quito and Rock and Rye,
but well IN front Cf such clinkers as
