IMP. CHARAXUS AT THE HEAD.

MesSrS r. J. Hancock &. Son, OF the Filler
size Stud. Charlottesville, Va, write me
i;,at most of the horses there are looking
fine and winterinS in nice shape. The
brown stallion Fatherless, imported in
1900 from England, mas improved wonder
fully since being taken to Ellersie, but
after being bred to some mare and given
a bite of spring clover. Mr.. Arthur B. Han
cock who directs affairs at the farm, .iAnkS
that the son of 1sonomy Will lock an en-
tireiy different sort. Imported CtlaraXus is
twenty-five years old, but looks good Tor
several years service yet. His son, Omar
entus holds the American record at one
and a quarter miles, while Fatherless ran
one and three-eighths miles faster than
anv horse has ever covered the distance
in England
Notwithstanding the great size, F.on was
a very fast horse while on the turf and
was rated as a very high-class perform
er. as were his full brotllelt Eoie and
ST Saviour. From now on the Messrs.
Hancock are confident that the get
of Eon will be p;~minent. as Lonsfellow,
in America, lsonomy in England, and 9TH
