RUSSELL AS RIVAL TO LANoTRY.

Speaking of an actress brings to mind the fact that Lillian Russell has decided to seek honors on the turf this fall The favorite com. medienne will not desert the footlights but she has been imbued with the racing fever and has decided to try her hand at the game. Llians colors will be carried by horses bred by herself in England.
 When Miss Russell went abroad more than a year ago she expected to stay in Europe for two or three years at least, and 1t was then that she concluded to become rival of Mrs. Langtry for racing honors in England. She wanted to race horses of her own breeding and John s. McDon. aid was commissioned to buy number of high, bred mares
 The purchases were made early last year and a majority of the mares now have foals, there being three colts by Carbine in the lot. The pals will be shipped to this country this autumn. mares will be sent to farm. probably to Ken
