BILE today shelters the best quartette of thor
oughbreds that has sver been collected under
the same roof at one time.
To show that this opinion is more than a
sentimental one.s they announce that they are
willing to arrange for a series of matches.
the only proviso they will insist on being that
the four races be arranged by the same par
ties Individual matches are to be ignored.
Their offer is to run The Friar against any
four-year- Bowling Brook against any
three-year-old, Filagrane to meet a two-year-
old colt and Prestidigitatrice. filly of the
same age. The terms are to be SIS 900 for
each of the races and the distances Of a suit

Ornament would be good horse to meet
The Friar, Traverser might give Bowling
Brook race. and if High Degree cannot
beat Prestidigitatrice then "Jakey" Joseph
doesn't want money, and from what we have
seen both Jean Beraud and Kingdom would
make Filigrane jump into the potato patch.
1t is almost nonsense Ito talk of such
matches, for there is not: one chance in a
hundred of the offer being accepted as q
whole. If the matches could be made singly
the Morris boys might be accommodated.
