his legs hold out, will be worthy of con-
slderation. Ell Rio Ray (The River
King is engaged in all the two-year-
Oid-cOlt stakes at Washington park, and
Will also be in st. Paul for one of the
purse races. The opinion in California
is that he is ipvIncible Don Jose is
quiet tip for the American Derby. This
fine colt is dark chestnut, with white
nearly to the knees forward and white
to the top Of the left canon bone behind.
He lacks an eighth of an inch of sixteen
hands IN height, and is horse of speedy
conformation. Racing-like in every
line, and weighing about a thousand
pounds. he looks a Derby winner.
The Gar, another crack, stands ff-
teen hands three inches high. and
weighs about LOO pounds. In color he
is a chestnut, with small star and four
white half stockings. Although differ
ent in color and not quite as big as the
Emperor, he bears a resemblance to
him. He is a race horse to look at, and
has been doing remarkably we'll in his
work. CURLY hooks are his points of
weakness and may interfere with his
prospective turf career. They troubled
him last year. April Is he worked the
short mile and quarter at the fair
grounds in 2:10. equal to 2:14, and beat
Dan Jose.
Joe Courtney is chestnut with a
bald face, white almost to the knees for
ward, and full white stockings behind.
He is said to have shown as much speed
in his work as Dan Jose or the
Gar, if not little more, and his ap-
pearance indicates that he is a race
horse of rare quality.
But Ell Rio Ray is the phenomenon,
and if you see him at ST. Paul this sum-
mer you'll see a ghost in horse-fesh
sure. He is a two-year-old chestnut,
with bald face and white on his left
fore and both hind legs; sixteen hands
and a quarter of all inch high: he will
scale over l, 100 pounds. A more rangy
colt than his famous brother, he is
Superbly formed, muscular in body, and
supported by grand set of stout legs
stronger than is often seen on Nor
folk. He is not only colt of rare type,
but has rare turn of speed. Those
who have seen him work say he is
world beaten. Cyrus Holloway says:
HE is a locomotive" Other trainers
say .'there never was colt fOaled that
could beat him. With 12O pounds,
Wincbell in the saddle, he worked three
furlongs In 1863.
THE SHIPPEE STABLE.
Asked if he saw the Shippee string,
the old gentleman smiled and said:
"Well, / guess / did, and a rare lot they
are, too. Alb Stemmler is in charge.
and says he will take half a dozen to
Chicago. the remainder to ST. Paul. l
