OLD ENGLAND PROVES HIMSELF TO BE
A COLT OF UNCOMMON QUALITY.

HE WINS THE CROToNA HANDICAP WITH
EAsE-HANDsoME wATERCOLOR's
VICTORY.
There seems to be no doubt whatever that Green
3 Morris's three-year-old colt Old England by
Goldhnch-Queen Bess, is a racehorse of quite un-
common quality On Tuesday he the Tobog-
gan Handicap from a good field with comparative
ease and yesterday he put the Crotona Handicap
the frst OF the spring serials at Morris Park. to
his credit winning he pleased in the fastest time
the Crotona has ever been run, and leaving behind
him such horses as BaIlyhoo Bey. The Musketeer
and Whisky King. While these good horses
"a beat the impressive feature Of the was
the ease with which the winner accomplished this
feat
Old England was a slight favorfte over The Mus
keteer. with Ballyhoo Bey in third place in the
betting Whisky King at fours. and Flying
Buttress. added starter. at all kinds OF long
prices AT the post The Musketeer behaved like
q demon, refusing persstently to face the barrier
and lashing out with his heels at everything that
came within range. At length. however. the field
got away a start that fair for all but Flying
Buttress. Old England and The Musketeer went
out together and headed the procession 10 the turn
for home. when O'Connor let out a wrap and the
son OF GoIdfnch simply romped away. Whisky
King made a good fight for the place. but
il A bit short Of work 1t his first of
the season and he Will bear watching in future
Ballyhoo Bey is evidently yet the Ballyhoo Bey
of old II is a question whether he Will ever show
his old time speed again. His next start should
however decide that point. While Old Engla nd
looks 10 be great racehorse, the experts shake
their heads as they size up his rangy somewhat
tenuous conformation and the bandages his
foreiegs and express the fear that he will break
down early Mr. Morris, his owner thinks he is
the fastest racehorse that wore plates. 1t is
TO be hoped that he will have chance 10 prove it.
Chiffon again showed that he has developed into
high class three year-old, by the manner in which
he rorped away from his field IN the first and
won galloping by three lengths So far first

the race, but there was good fight for the place

have been cashed but for the bad ride put up by
