The much talked of colt. English Lad,
by equital-English Lady, favOrite in
the Kentucky Derby, will be shipped
east after the American Derby next
June to start in the Lawrence Realiza-
ton stakes. Last year the colt was
the best two-year-Old in the west, Win
ming $4,000 in stakes and purses. This
winter he has developed into a magnifi-
cent three-year-old, for whom his own
err, Cook, recently refused $4,000.
1t is improbable that Highball will
be starter in the Montgomery handi-
cap. The weight, 116 pounds, is not
regarded with favor by Trainer May,
who also believes that it would be ask
ing too much of the colt to start him in
such a hard race so early in the sea-
son. Highball will be seen in the early
stakes and will then be shipped to Chi
cago about the 1st of June to start in
the American Derby. for which he will
be especially pointed.

Bad habits in horses must always
have their origin in bad handling when

do any good. Horses have long mem
