D. G. Bricker will go to Boston April l to

Marcus DAILY, who will in a great measure
take his business partners (J..B Haggin)
place on tho turf, has entered two imported
horses very freely, and their career on the
turf will be watched with interest. says the
New York Times. From that many-mill-
ionaire owner. Baron Hirsch, he purchased
a two-year-old by Bend Or-Lady Lumley,
which is named Ogantz. As yearling he
cost the baron 1,550 guineas, and Mr.. DAILY
is said to have paid a considerable advance
above that sum for him.
Mr.. Days other imported colt is the
chestnut" Inverness, BY Cymbal: Belle of
Scotland, and he cost $4,000 delivered in
New York. He was bought of Lord Dun
raven, and won five of the eight races in
which he startedL as a t%wo-year-old last
year. While his Nfm was not strictly first
class, it was certainly good enough to make
him we'll worth Watching, and his meeting
with Bolero, Potomac. Rey del Rey, and
other crack American three year-olds will
be looked forward to with the greatest in
terest. Most of Mr.. Daly's horses are now
in charge of Matt Byrnes, at Long Branch,
but a bunch of youngsters is still at the
Montana ranch, and will not arrive here
until midsummer, as some of them will
race in the west first.
