had rolled up 121. the highest run in the tourna-

at Brighton Beach last summer; Disobedient,
which raced with some distinction in the late
fall on the New-York tracks; Guiding Star
which showed class as a two-year-od. and is
well thought of here: Ben Holder. Lady Ma

company a two-year-oid; Rolla, Halowmas
