LESSONS FROM TIE FIGHT

Situation at Richmond.

Byrnes has a string OF twenty, all of
which are in good healthy condition. or the
older division the five year-old geldine Sena-
tor Grady is, on account of his high class
form as a two year-old, worth more than
passing notice.
He stands about 1902 hands, and
loaded as he is with fat it would be hard
TO imagine him race horse of the caliber
he certainly was when a two year-old, while
his trial for the Chicago Derby showed that
as three year-old he could travel both fast
and far.
A pec1liarity in connection with this horse
which is well kno wn, is that as a two-ye
old, he was no work horse, in fact, any
selling platter would beat him in the morning.
while in the afternoon with the colors up,
he was rirst-class race horse.
NOT, A.. RACE HORSE.
The following year. as a year-old,
he was a great work horse, but no race
I horse: and this alteration was in his dispo-
sition as regards his ra cling alone. He never
was known TO fret, is good doer and
afraid OF nothing. sfs'"''e
He has now been gelded over a year, and
has since been roaming around and en-
| ioying himself in the brncing air of Mon
| tana. II will be interesting to watch the
progress of this muscular little gentleman
as his clever trainer begins to screw him up
for the coming campaign.
| Primrose II is now four year-old, and
| although il is rather early in the year to
| tell much OF horses improving, this horse
| has fined down and improved so much to
| the eye that if he gbes on in the same way
for the next three mGiths it will be
| reasonable to expect his form to be much
| better during the coming season, especially
/ as his races last year showed that staying
was his 'ghrile. ''' '"'.-'
| Silver II is furnishing into a big quar-
tered and very muscular gentleman.
Hamilton ii, who is on the lengthy lathy
| type, has not furnished as much as he might
| have, but as his coat looks healthy and he
is doing well he is likely to improve in
this respect before the end of March.
NOT FACED THE STARTER.
Del Paso. the three-year-old brother to
Ludwig. stands close to Il hands. He has
lots of strength, bat is IA bit light framed, and
does not have anything like the girth or
muscular development that his elder brother
has as two-year-old. He has had a nice,
careful handling. and has not yet faced the
starter. He was such an overgrown fellow
that he could not be hurried. He Is n good
actioned colt. with a long rea ch. and covers
a tremendous lot of ground when extended,
so that he is likely to develop into at least
a useful sort over distance.
Butte. an imported bay colt, 3, by Hamp-
ton out of imported Buttermere. has never
started-in fact has never been trained. He
is dark bay. with large legs, standing
fully 1913 hands. Taking him all in all. he
is one Of the very best looking three-year.
olds in training. and can hardly fail TO "a ce.
His dam. Buttermere, is by Doncaster. sec
ond dam Thorwater. by Tbormanby. third
dam Fairwater. by Loup-Garou, fourth
dam The Boomer. by Melbourne. etc. He
is. therefore. bred both TO travel fast and
stay. Marcus DAILY is certainly entitled 10
one race horse out of all his higl-priced
iInporta,ions and it is to be hoped that
this good-looking son of Hampton is the one.
The 2-year-olds are good-sizcd and
goodlooking average lot. The home-bred
ones are of good size. with good feet and
plenty of bone. SO that the objection some
people make to Montana as being too cold
to raise thoroughbreds that will race as g
year-olds does not apply at least to that
section of the country in which the Bitter
Root Stud is located.
TIGER CATS ESCAPE.
Tiger Cat 2-year-old chestnut fily, by
Tammany. out of Bandana, by Darebin, is
one of the first of the get of the bald-faced |
son of the Derby winner of SS1. She had |
a narrow escape from being 3-ycar-old, as |
she was foaled shortly after l O'Clock on |
the morning of'January L. 1894.
In color and conformation She is very much |
like her sire. She has good open feet. with |
clean, flutbone;is a bit plain about the head,
but has game. ''varminty'' look to her.
She should race, to a certainty.
The following twe-year-olds are all good
lockers: Scottish Chief, brown colt. by imp.
Iverness-Miss Darebin; chestnut colt, by |
Salvator-Miss Woodford; chestnut colt, by |
salvatorimp. Dram, by Ben dor; chestnut
colt, by Iroqu DIS Enamel: bay filly, by imp.
Ma kim P reciosa. and Pearl, bay filly, by
FirenZe. The last named filly has
lots of length, and Is a true-shaped racy
locker She Is bigger than her famous dam
was at her age. The Imported bay ge:ding
by Barcaldine, out of imp. Buttermere,
measures 1T.3 hands, with frame and length
in proportion. He has good feet, great flat
bone, is quick as q cat, and, bred as he is,
ought to gallop all day to hounds. There
is no fear of this fellow landing in a hole.
on the far side of a fence, as he can look
into the next county. Matt Byrnes brought
him along on account of his being such a
quick, handy horse, thinking he might make
a great steeplechaser.
