LOUISVILLE, November 11.-Trainers at
the local trotting tracks of Kentucky have
turned their attention to the young prod
ucts, and during the mild autumnal days
they are getting a line on them for the COM
ing season. Will Evans. DR.. Dickerson,
Glen Beachey. H. NJ. Jones and a number
of others who devote as much of their time
to the development of young trotters, are
busy they were during the trotting
season. Evans has uncovered couple that
the trainers say are sensational and sure
to be watched the coming season. One is
the yearling FLY Helena Todd by the SEN
satonal young sire, Todd, and out of the
Baroness Helen, by Baron Wilkes. She
has been the fastest half ever made by
yearling trotter over the oval track, hav-
ing gone that distance in 1:OS15, last quar-
ter IN 0:32h seconds, with apparently lit
tie effort She is a medium-sized FLY, well
turned and level-headed. The other is a
brown colt by Todd, dam by Ashland
Wilkes, second dam Christine by Ham
brine. This colt has trotted a quarter in
O:341a seconds, but has not yet been asked
to go a mile.
Count Malynshi of Russia, owner of the
good American-bred trotter Valentine, who
has been making a tour of America, is now
in this city, where he will remain for some
time studying the methods of the trainers
of trotting horses, with the view of becom-
ing expert trainer in his native coun-
try. Count Malynshi has a select stud Of
about twenty mares, mostly Americans,
and while here purchased several promising
youngsters to add to has racing stable next
season.
Brook Curry, who announced last spring
that he would take up his residence at
Philadelphia and train at the old Point
Breeze track, has abandoned the idea of
leaving Lexington, and will have a good
stable of trotterS here the coming season.
He has formed a partnership with his son,
Wick Curry, and they have bought a large
number OF horses to develop. Among their
latest purchases are thirteen youngsters Sc
cured of Lon Maynard of New York.
William A. Wright has arrived here from
New York city to succeed Peter Duryea as
manager of the PatchenWilzes farm. This
great breeding plant is one of the best i'm
proved in Kentucky, and has in the stud
a valuable and royally-bred lot of brood
mares Peter the Great has been the pre-
mier stallion of the establishment during
the past year, but next season the famous
Onward and Patchen Wilkes will be
brought back from Tennessee, where they
have been doing stud service. The fourth
sire on the farm is the noted J. ]. Audubon,
sire of Audubon Boy 1:59A and other good
performers. Mr.. Wright does not contem-
plate any immediate radical changes in
the management Of the place.

The report recently published to the eff
feet that ]. D. Gallery of Pittsburg had
bought the race horse TurIey, 2:07l4, is
without foundation. L. B. Mcfarland Of
Memphis, owner of Turley, has written
here asking that the report be corrected
There a deal on between Gallery and
Mcfarland during the trotting meeting at
Lexington. After being beaten in the
Pennsylvania by Ethel'S Pride, he came
back and won his next race, the Walnut
Hall cup, beating Glenwood NJ. and the re-
liable Leonardo. Turley started an even
dozen times during the season from Wind
sor to Lexington, winning four firStS, four
seconds and four thirds and got a mark of
2:0I&.
That the fame of the Kentucky blue grass
as the proper place to raise thoroughbre1s
is increasing instead of decreasing is again
manifested in the report that another east
ern breeder in the person of Andrew AL
bright, jr is soon to take his entire estab-
lishment to that state. He has reached the
conclusion from long experience that the
best results can be obtained from horses
bred in the blue grass section. The entry
of Mr.. Albrights stud to Kentucky makes
three noted eastern turfmen who have de-
cided to locate their interests there, the
other two being Clarence II. Mackey, who
has secured long lease on the famous
Kingston stud, and Thomas Hitchcock jr
whose horses are now located at the Ham
burg Place esta blishment of John h Mad
don until chi 0h Ia f.y r.
by their owner in this section. With the
entry of Mr.. Mackey to this section the
best stallion and some of the most promi-
nent mares of that establishment will be
brought back to Kentucky, where It is like
~ they will remain for all future time or
until their death. James B. Haggin, prob
ably the most astute turfman of modern
times, has come to a realization that Ken
lucky soil is more suited to the raising of
horses than any other land in the world
and this winter, it is said. will witness the
closing out of his famous Rancho del Paso
stud in California, as he believes that bet
