begun, but hardly In the manner sus-
gested by the jingoistic daily press,
Notwithstanding that fast ocean
transport was called into requisiuon
and conquest the object in view, says
the Horseman. Saturday last the gooo
steamship Manitoba steamed out OF the
New York harbor, bound for LONDON
and carrying as part OF her freight tne
thoroughbreds belonging TO the racing
firm of Duke a. Wishard. Inc horses
shipped are Ramapo. Helen Nicnons'
Hugh Penny, Mac Briggs, Wisharo,
DamseI and a few others of excellent
class and pedigree. Jockey Rein went
with the stable, and will do all its rid
ing when he can make the weight.
The fortunes of the Duke & Wishard
horses on Albion's irregular race
courses will be followed with much IN
terest by American turfmen, for the
reason that at least three or them are
excellent representatives of as many
well defined classes of American thor
oughbreds. Sound and right, Ramapo
IS hard horse to beat in any COM
pany. He has demonstrated his ability
to carry great weight and race over
distance of ground. and IL seems rea-
sonable that his ailing foot must hold
out bright promise OF becoming entire
ly right again or he would not have
been sent abroad.
1t is the opinion Of many good Judges
that, both at their best, Henry OF Ma
varre can not beat Ramapo at any
distance, and in addition to his un-
doubted class the latter is splendid
individual. Should he take kindly to
the English tracks and climate Rama
DO will surely render a good account OF
himself, and we will be afforded reli-
able criterion by which the relative
merits of high-class English and Am
erican thoroughbreds may be judged.
Hugh Penny, though not nearly of as
high a class as Ramapo. Is yet able to
carry heavy imposts to victory over
fairly long routes and may be said to
represent the best platers of this coun-
try's all-aged division. II placed Alright
he should win his keep easily enough.
and Mac Briggs should do the same
among the same sort of 3-year-olds.
Briggs did well last season as a 2-year-
old, winning his first four starts and
proving himself something more than
useful in his class.
The success or failure Of this stable.
composed as II Is. Will give us a very
good general line to go by In compar-
ing the thoroughbreds of the two coun-
tries, and IL Is therefore to be hoped
that it's members will be thoroughly ac-
elimated and conditioned before being
put to the test.
