At a recent Morris Park meeting. among
the starters for the Juvenile stakes was
the two-year-old filiy. Stone Nellie, bred
by the late David Durham Withers. the
noted turfman and racing authority.
A notable feature OF the contest was
the first appearance since his death OF
the all-black colors made famous by
the lamented sage Of Brookdale Stud
Farm. which have been taken by Mr..
Augustus Clason. nephew Of Mr.. With
ers.
Mfr. Clason is strong admirer OF the
thoroughbred horse. and fs well known
here. having made frequent trips TO the
city during a residence OF number OF
years In Goochland county.

The Kentucky Live Stock Record. In a
recent issue, has the following 10 say III
our wellknown breeder, Captain Foxn1ll
A. Dalngerheld. Of Chopper. who was In
the Blue Grass region not long since:
and Is his agent In the matter of select
ing and mating thoroughbred mares. Mr..
keene, says this authority, has not given
UP his intention Of securing a Blue Grass
breeding farm, and Captain Dainse-1 ED
Is always on the lookout for a suitable
one. The latter is an experienced breed n
and close observer, and said hat he
believed that there IS no other place In
the world so well adapted to the breeding
OF the thoroughbred as the Blue Grass
section Of Kentucky.
That Morello, the mighty son OF Eolus
and Cerise. amply justifies the high opin-
ION formed OF him Is demonstrated by
his successive victories in every event
for which he has appeared as starter
this year on the nth instant the great
Virginia three-year-old appeared among
the starters for the Chicago Derby at
Hawthorne Park, and won easily, finish
ing easily length and a half ahead Of
Boundless. who was two lengths ahead
of Ingomar.
In the East at North Pergen Clarus,
Robert Bradley's entry In purse race
of five furlongs for two-year-olds, proved
what n good two-year-old he is by win
ming the race through sheer gameness
making the running from the start, which
was an Indifferent one, and beating Run
away by short head, though
when Il comes to a drive Clarus Is
about as much Of a bulldog as his stable
companion. the iron horse Bitten. IN
this race the chestnut son OF Hyder All
carried ten pounds TO Runaway and
twenty-five pounds weight to Hindoo-
mere. the latter being looked upon as a
real good thing. he having on several
occasions knocked nt the door or stake
races AT Morris Park and Brooklyn
tracks. Nevertheless. Clarus, Though con-
ceainG him twenty-five pounds, gave MIN
that much Of beating.
In the next race Blizzard. by Eole, son
OF Eolus, got second place. on Monday

colt Artillery captured a purse race at
