SOME HORSE GOSSIP.


The American turf got its first recog-
milton last year through the Duke Of
Beaufort, who So years ago showed his
friendship for Americans by becoming
the patron of John Q. Heenan. The
old duke sent ever very inferior horse
to run for the Chicago derby, called
Strathrose, by Highland Chief (son Of
Hampton), out OF Queen of the Roses.
In 1887 Reve dor. by Hampton, out OF
this mare, won the 1000 guineas, The
Oaks and was fourth in the St. Leger,
won by Kilwarlin. But there was moth
ing to show that Strathrose was OF any
such caliber as his three-quarters sister.
About the same time Col. North. the
nitrate king, sent over half.dozen sell
ing platers in charge of Hon. Thomas
Pepper Ochiltree. at one time member
OF congress from Texas. OF these one
improved emarkably-Arturo-b he
fell and was killed in the Metropolitan
handicap. Another of these, called
Iddlesleigh, was a good fourth in the
Metropolitan and afterwards won twice
at six furlongs. This year Col. North
will not be represented, or the brave old
duke, either, but Col. ]. F. Brockle-
hurst has made entries both in the
Futurity and Matron stakes. In thoee
races, which close before the foals are
dropped, only the mares are nominated.
The description of the foals follows
later on.
The mares nominated by Colonel
Brocklehurst for these races are Dart, in
foal to st. Simon. and st. Kilda, covered
by Gslopin, the sire of st. Simon.
Colonel North made eight entries for the
futurity, Notwithstanding his bad luck
of last season, for he was about $50, 900
out of pocket on the whole business.
North says he is engaged as breeder
and looks to America very largely for
q market, and hence he will engage
his colts very largely in our races here
after, knowing they will be more valu-
able with those engagements than with
out them. Colonel Brocklehurst is
new man in fat racing, but for the past
10 years he has been noted as one OF
the greatest cross-country riders in
England or any where else. His elegant
country seat was the scene of a superb
dinner party given to Tom Ochiltree,
last year. as a means OF introducing the
Texas congressman to his coterie of rae
ing friends. He said to one of his
friends: THE Americans, while they
do not buy as many stsllions and mares
from US as do the Australasisns, are
generally willing to pay better prices.

would in November last, but Iroquois has
fallen behind Sir Modred just through
the November and December victories
of Marie Lowell, Ballarat, Motto and
King Bo-s. Reckoning by the number

Year. Horse and Age.

This shows that a 2.year-old such as
was His Highness or Domino is worth
several 3-year-olds because the events
for that age are 30 much richer. My
own belief is that the little black colt
from Kentucky has seen his best days
already, and that while he is now the
all-winter favorite for the American
derby he will not be starter for that
event except as pece-maker for one OF
his stable companions, Ell TELEGRAPH or
Hornpipe, of which greatly prefer the
latter for a distance like that OF the
great Chicago race. My preferences for
that race are first Senator Brady; Sec
ond, Dobbins; third, Lucky Dog, and
fourth Sir Excess. l do not look for
Domino to win any part OF the race and
Jack of Spades will beat him if both
start.
