This is a superb lot OF youngsters. all
well forward in their work, and all
liable to be heard from early in the sea-
son, with the exception of Everglade,
who is a big, growthy filly, fifteen hands
three inches high, with a few white
hairs in the flank and a sprinkling in
gaunt and leggy, but erspeed lines are
pronounced, and she will make a
Splinter of the first order beyond per-
| adventure, and prove worthy of her re-
lationship to Pontiac and Pontico. out OF
whose dam she is. The other filly, Gloam-
ing, who is out of the dam of the Califor-
mia racer Moonlight, is light bay with
a star and four white feet. She is clip
per built from nose to heels and we adj
mired her very much. Her head is
small and neat, neck long, shoulders
oblique, bone fiat and good, and alto
gether very taking miss. She is some

negotiate heavy weights, but when
called on for speed is certain to be on
hand. Another two-year-old filly,
blanketed and nibbling grass near the
stable, was bay by Spendthrift, out of
imported Constantinople. the dam
of Dutch Roller. OF the colts,
King Thomas stands above the others in
height, and is longer in body, but the
Sir Modred colts seem to have more
substance. The King is a light bay,
with an irregular crescent-Shaped star
in the forehead and the off hind foot
white. While he is not so light in
color. and there is no strong resem-
blance between the two. we were forci-
bly, reminded of that other son of King
Ban, French Park. He has the height
and range, and about the neck and
head they are much alike. With his
action we were much pleased.
He has long, frictionless
stride, and If this $4,000 sensa-
tional yearling does not follow in
the footsteps of his distinguished broth
ers, Ban Fox and King Fox, and prove
him self a rare and good two-y ear-old,

the morning the entire string, strung
| out in Indian file, were speeded a QUAR-
ter in close to thirty seconds. Sir
Launcelot is colt of extra size for his
age, not only substantially built but
finely finished and quite the gentleman
in appearance. That he will turn out a
| good one-a very good One-there is lit
tie room for doubt. He has speed. a
level head, fine neck, sloping
shoulders, strong back, excellent quar-
tiers, and much straighter hind legs
than King Thomas. There is nothing
the matter with Ballarat except that he

| Little Minch, whom he resembles in
color and many other respects. Ana
conda is bright bay. with considerable
white, and does not look much like
SpeDdthritt. He is also high-strung
and is not deficient in looks or speed.
Lovelace, rangy brown, was mounted
by the stables first jockey. Hamilton.
He is first brother to Love Knot, has
fine head and neck, but is trifie leggy
compared with some of the others, and
is narrow across the hips. not having
the quarters of Sir Lancelot or Tourna-
ment. This latter is of the wear and
tear kind, with big barrel, good bone,
and should be rare good ''doer" over a
distance of ground. He has very
level-looking head, with suspicion of
star, and is wide between the eyes,
which are bright and intelligent look
ing. His back is short and strong, and
weight should not brother him. Taken
altogether, Tournament will do to
watch. AS said before, the string is a
very superior one, forward in condition
but not showing the effects of their
training. They reflect much credit On
