Park meeting she should be in excellent
trim.
Vestibule attracts special attention. He
is so unsound that the question is often
asked, Why has not Mr.. Lorillard dis
posed of him? The truth is that he is
afraid to sell him, in case he should come
round, for then the Rancocas stable
would have the fastest sprinter it has
ever owned. He seems distinctly back
ward, and on the inside of the forelegs.
below bothI the knees, are two Jumps.
These give him considerable pain and the
greatest patience is necessary in order to
get him fit for race. 1t will be another
feather in John Higgins cap if he gets
him in condition. Fit and we'll at the
post, there need be no fear Of his not
landing the money in any race he may
start in this season.
Between Kilkenny and Julien, the
difference in makeup is most no.
ticeable. The former is more on
the type of English race horses and full
of quality from head to tail. He does not
appear nearly so forward in condition as
Julien and Will probably not face the
starter before the Morris Park meeting.
One of the most improved animals in
the stable is Derfargilla. She moves along
with sweeping stride, filled out we'll, but
not with superfuous flesh. Muscle that
stands out on her hard and clean is proof
positive that one of the earliest events
would be her mark.
In marked contrast to her in condition
is Kildeer. She is not likely to see the
post early and. with La Tosca, will pro-
baby appear to advantage during the
Monmouth Park meeting. Besides the
older horses there are several two-year-
olds at Rancocas, among them the brother
to Huron and G. w. Johnson, under the
charge of B. Riley. They present an ex-
cellent appearance. Hurons brother, who
was injured last tall, has nearly recovered
from his accident. He will be in the
front rank of two-year-olds this season,
but hardly before the Monmouth Park
meeting will he give the public taste of
his quality. Among the youngsters are
two colts by Sailor Prince that are re-
ported to have shown up 80 well that Mr..
Lorillard has ordered his best mares to be
bred to that stallion in place of Emperor.
Much may happen between this and
18th of May, but the following viii pro-
badly prove the Rancocas stables repre-
sentatives for the early spring events :
Locohatchee will try for the Brooklyn
Handicap, Julien for the Metropolitan
Handicap at Morris Park, Vestibule for
the Toboggan Slide in case of his not
being fit Yemen will be the representa-
tive.
Yemen without blinkers is hard to
recognize, and he does not strike one any
more favorable in appearance than last
year. In his case, however, looks are
most deceptive, and he may continue his
record breaking performances of last sea-
son.
John Higgins Is great believer in
long, slow preparations for racing, and far
back in the winter his horses were can
tering over the track in six inches OF
snow. Their grand appearance certainly
does him great credit, and the Rancocas
stable will be. among the alleged division
at least, the strongest on the turf this
season. The stable has, however, no
three-year- of any account.
