Lexington, KY, Dec. 5.-Captain S. S.
Brown of Pittsburg is spending tnous-
ands of dollars in improvements at his
newly purchased breeding farm. Seno-
rita stud, in this county. He is erecting
q mammoth training stable, with stalls
for thirty EIGHT horses, which will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000, the stalls being
built in a circle in the center, and
around them is to be a covered track
Of about a sixteenth of a mile for exer-
cising the horses in bad weather. The
stallion barns and brood mare stables
and sheds are to be up to date in every
particular. and when all the improve
ments planned are finished Senorita stud
will be one of the model breeding farms
of America.
Captain Brown ultimately. purposes to
hive his horses in training wintered
here instead of at AIobile,,Ala. He owns
his training quarters there, it is true,
but he has come TO the conclusion that
horses wintered hero and exercised over
the bluegrass turf and On shielded
tracks do quite as well, ana then with
his string at this point he canssee them
with less travel than if 1hey are down
south farther.
Captain VIII. May and his son, I3ub
May, who have developed and raced SO
many good horses in the last few years,
both east and west, will have an ex-
have already the following nine year

w. Hedges & Co., owners of a good
winning stable this year, in which the
star is the crack 2-year-old Gregor K,
leading 2-year-old race winner of the
season, he having earned brackets an
even dozen times. will do no more rae
ing THIS year at New Orleans or San

Roby, Ind. Gregprs K. will be entered
in the American NDerby next year and
y

Sachel, Throstle, Mary Glen and Kin
ford, win be shipped from Latonia Mon
day to Owensboro, KY, where they will
remain until February /, when they Will
go to Nashville, Tenn. They will be
trained there next spring. This sets at
rest the report that this string will race
at New Orleans the coming winter.
None of the members of this aggrega-
ton will face the starters flag until the
spring meeting at Memphis.
Cots Brothers have taken up the first
foal of the famous race mare Turtle
Dove, regarded by more than one good
judge as the first yearling in Kentucky.
He is by Farandole. sire of the Brook
lyn handicap winner Banastar, and
like his dam. is gray in color. He is
unusually large for a yearling and re-
sembles no little the sire of his dam, the
great Faraday. His owner will let him
become fully developed before training
him to any extent. but about midsum-
mer next year he will be q bidder for a
number of classic 2-year-old engage
ments, and his conformation indicates
that he will be able to make good the
fond expectations of his owners Is Be
sides Banastar the Cots Brothers have
developed many good horses, including
the sensational .MeChesney.
