BELMONT BUYS HORSES.
He Secures Henry of Navarro for
S35, 900 and Dorian for ST. 900.

August Belmont, the banker OF New York,
bought the greatest louryeir-old III America
Byron McCIGland's Henry Oi Navarro, and
another thorOughbrcad. only less celebrated
than the imperial }. W. Rogers Dorian.
For Henry of Navarro Mr. Belmont paid
?35 900, for Dorian $l7OO0 In the opinion
of the best judges here the horses are well
worth the money paid.
Henry of Navarro is II Iour-year-old 10y
Knight of Elerslie Moss Rose. Dorian is a
four-year-oli by Sir Modred-GIenhora
Both are the winners of innUmerabIe stakes
and purses and are regarded by turimrn rs
the two best thoroughbreds of their age.
II was only u few weeks ago that Mr. Bel
mont astonishcd the turf world by buying
Hastings ut the Gideon and DAILY sale for
$4,000 and Keenan, for 9lS,500. Hastings
was regarded at the time as the best two
ycar-oId in America, and the probable win
ner Ofthe Futurity, which will be run Aug.
"a. and will be worth 1900. Keenan, had
few stake engagements and his earning
capacity was not so great as Hastings but the
price paid for him was not regarded as eN'
cessive.
Mr. Brlmonta purchases make complete
his power aud prestige among turlmen. He
was already the president OF the Racing Com
mission, which has absolute power to grant
or refuse licenses to race-tracks
