over the farm track. and is considered as
good as :2212 over a frst-class track. The
work is regarded as the most sensational
shown by a yearling around Lexington up
to date
According 10 advices from Lexington.

brother TO Wyeth bv Wadsworth-Fonsie.

the rich American Derby with Wyeth and
he is anxious to get possession OF Treacy.
