Prince Wilkes has failed TO show any OF
his United States form here, and conse
quentlY his owner is dissatisfied with his
F3O.OOO Investment. Ito has been wrong
nearly all the time and has Won but three
races here, but in my opinion his people had
their money on in at least two of those At
present lie is laid UP with leg, and has
been fired. The most successful performers
this season have boon S;pofrord and Cover
nor till They have won u races. Hill
won nine and Spoi'orl five. This i, a great
showing for horse, that have been shipped
'VoO mics and stood the hardships OF u sea
voyage. They are Big and strong and feel
IKE q couple of two-year-oGs. Governor
nan, which had the reputation Of bein.; u
stopper III tho United States, has failed to
show it here, as he won three races in nine
DAYS. and they were all long ones. Spot
ford has also proved himself slayer.
t1ano boy has proved himself very useful
4 horse; so has Little Walter and Sentry.
/ Sentry drove Prince Wilkes out in 100
meter race in the fast time of 2:3Jl 1t is
the best on record here, and Prince won by
short head only. The last three horses
