The brood mare list at Castleton, near

Keene'S stud farm, now numbers seventy
seven head, and they represent the cream
of the thoroughbred breeding world says
the St Louis Republic, having been
gathered by the multmiliionaire owners
regardless of cost, both in England and
this country. There are many remark
able thoroughbreds at Castleton. In Ben
My Chree MeSsrS. Keene own the only
mare which has ever produced an Oaks
winner on American soil. Winners of
the Derby and Victors in the St. -Leger
and Two Thousand Guineas have been
imported into the country, but no Ameri-
can has ever laid down enough money
TO induce an Englishman to part with
Oaks winner or the dam of one. AS Cap
and Bells IS the first American produc-
ton to win this classic event, her dam
now has a new record among American
brood mares Of all time. Ben My Chree
in conformation is an ideal brood mare,
and, luckily for her aristocT&tic OWL
ers, has proven regular breeder. Her
yeariing this year is an exceedingly
high-typed bay colt by Kingston, his
only mark bright star, and he resem,
bleS at little zap and Bells at the same
age. He is one of his owners English
Derby candidates for 1868, and will
doubtless be on his way over the sea
before many months, as he will be raced
in England both as a two and three
year-Old Ben My Chree'S sucking is,
like Cap and Bells, lilly and, like the
famous Cakes winner, is brown in color.
be given chance to repeat her half
sisters triumphS, as she viii be entered
in the Oaks of 1904. Her marks are a
star and a little white on her right hind
foot. She is also a daughter of King.
StOn. The other Derby candidates
among this years crop of yearlngs are
the brown colt Kingston-Gl dam of
Skate), by Chippendale; brown colt by
MISUNDERSTANDING H. dam of Petru-
chic, winner of the Brooklyn Derby in
1900, by st. simon; chestnut colt Horo7
Mortemer; chestnut colt by Horoscope,
dam Hand Maid by FeIlowcraft-this
youngster bearing a striking resemblance
to the great Tommy Atkins in color,
a chestnut colt by Kingston, dam Editha,
sister to Melton, winner of the Derby
and st. Leger. There are twenty-five
other yearling colts at Castleton and
nineteen FLIES. Some of the latter Will
go to England having classic engage
ments there, including the Oaks, while
the others will carry the white and blue
spots on the Eastern tracks.
A complete list Of this great yearling
collection follows, and it is questionable
If any racing stable in this country
ever had such a bunch of youngsters 20
pick from, and indications seem to point
to the Keene stable, both in England
pnd this country, being stronger in
two-year-olds in 1902 than ever before.
These colts and FLIES will remain at
Castleton in Maj. Dangerield's care for
few weeks longer, when they will be
shipped East and fully broken. The farm
hands do more than handle them to the
halter and they are never ridden until
they reach the quarters of Trainer
James Rowe. They are broken to ride in
a day, and they never see their blue
grass home again until their turf career
is at an end. The list is as follows:
