of the lottery charter. But when man, no matter
how rich he may be- races on great scale, II must
be pleasant TO have the balance at the end of the
season on right side of the account. And although
his stable is not strong in older horses. II is so
supremely strong in two-year-ods, and there are 80
many huge stakes for horses of that on the Amer

and prOfuse his expenses for maintaining the
largest and costiest racing establishment in these
United states, his receipts will immensely exceed his
outlay in 1890. As matters look the Morris
scarlet will blaze in the of the majority of the
most valuable stakes for youngstcr, this season. for
Russell Is surely far uperor to any two year-od yet
seen. while Ambulance, Correction and Reckon be
trusted to capture many Of value.
