AMERICAN HORSES ABROAD.
The successes of the Loriilard and Wish
ard horses may influence Mr.. Belmont
TO take his young Rayon D'Ors abroad.
Mr.. Lorillard, by the way, is immensely
gratiiIcd with the showing John Higgins
has made with the products OF the Ran
cocas stud, and it Will be SOME years be-
fore his colors will again be seen on this
side OF the water.
Frank Clark, the superintendent of the
Coney Island Jockey Cluh, is TO go TO Eng
land tins fall and construct a rcgulaUi,l
dirt course, over which the Loril'ard
horses Will be trained when the turf is
too hard.
Many OF the English horses were dis
anled during the warm weather, when
the courses were bad and as hard as Fifth
avenue. II is to avoid this contingency
that Mr. Lorillard is To have dirt course
built.
A man familiar with Newmarket said
the tan gailops should answer all pur-
poses but Mr.. Lurillard is a man who
never considers the cost when he wants
anything. Taking everything into consid-
Grafton, ne is ar good a sportsman as this
country can produce. .
No breeding and training establishment in
Americ;, can approach Rancocas, and il is
sign Of the times when its owner goes
abroad for recreation.
YearlDg trials are now in order. and a.
usual, Kentucky, with its lightning fast
track. is the first TO be heard from. Young
Charles Patterson, who is the part owner
OF Ornament. has a youngster Of imported
rider that is credited with working a
quarter over the Kentucky Association
rack in % seconds with l 20 pounds Up.
FAST QUARTERS SHOWN.
Many, many fast quarters have been
shown at Lexington il the autumn 10y
yearlincs. which proved worthless or next
10 worthless as two-year-olds. John L.
Madden had a sister to Dr. Rice that hurnt
the Lexington track up but nobooy ever
saw her do much when she came North.
IL is to be hoped that ratter>nn's Colt -

many friends among racing people here
ahouts. He Is quiet. >hrewd and observant,
takes his mediCiDc like man, and is WAYS
ready To race his horse against anybody
when the chances are at all equal.
If lie had not been badly advisable would

Messrs. Morris have a yeaIling brother TO
The Friar, which greatly resembles the big
chestnut colt, which is now sweeping
things before him ut GraveSend. He is
larger than The Friar was at the same
age, and is said &c be more promising. J.
A Bennett has a fun brother TO Huron.
q. w. johnson, that can run. and there are
several in the kecnc division that are
credited with being very fast.
They are an extremely well-brcd lot and
have size and substance to commend them.
and fevv breeders have had as much success
with tie products of their studs in 1896 as
james Gelway.
Mr.. Gelway sold Buckirtlere and Aquinas,
two of the best colts in the West this year.
and of a dozen yearlings disposed OF last
year nearly all are prominent winners
Buckirdere has taken the measure OF the
best of them.
II is Mr.. Gelway's intention TO sell at
Sheepshead Bay on September Il a choice
selection from his stud, the get of Linden
and BeIvidere. AT the same time, Mcssrs.
