Not since the days of the late W. /.
Scott. when the Erie Congressman and
railroad rnagnate wintered his stable at
Cape Charles, Va, have so many run
, ners been quartered at one establish
ment In this State as are now to be
seen at william Garth's farm, near
Charlottesville. All told, Garth has
about sixty horses In his string, and
stalls have been engaged for fifty-five
, of them at BenninSs. d. c., where the
big Virginian will ship early in Feb
ruary. Last season Garth won some
eighty-fve races with lot of cheap
ho rses. the property OF different par
ties. so that no large amount was
credited to any single owner, but now
with De AIund. Horace E.. Toots Toots,
Yankee Consul, and others that ranked
among the top-notchcrs In 1906. friends
OF Garth. and they are numerous, look
for him to win good money. He has
few horses owned by David Dunlop,
of Petersburg, Va, new recruit to
turf ranks. but his stable is mostly
made up of two and three-year- ODDS,
owned by Roy Rainey, the Cleveland
millionaire. OF the latter's horses De
Mund still looks q bit thin, but Horace
+. is round and plump, having put on
lot of flesh. Change Of these young
sters from Tennessee to Virginia seems
to have worked wonders almost, and
naturally Garth is much pleased with
them. Among the two-year-olds are
ton. named in accordance with Presi-
dent Roosevelts modified spelling as
follows: Bay colt, by Star Shoot. dam
Ellansowan; Thro. bay colt. by st.
Simonian, dam Van-a-clar; Proram, bay

Royal Stag. dam Strathcona Belle; Akr-
bat, bay colt by Handspring, dam Mon

dam Center Tip; Charmin, bay tilly, by
Knight Of the Thistle, dam Merry

The report circulated that a track
would be built near Norfolk. Va, and a
race meeting held during the James
town Exposition, under authority of the
Jockey Club, OF New York, to whom APP
plication would be made for dates, has
resolved into the announcement that an
outlaw meeting would be held at the
Hampton Roads Driving Park, whose
half-mile track and grounds are mid
way between Newport News and Hamp-
ton. almost directly opposite the James
town Exposition Grounds, the latter
being some eight miles out from Nor
folk. George a. Huntington. the Bal
timore book maker and other sporting
men, are understood to be promoters OF
the scheme. of which racing by electric
light will also be feature. The
Hampton Roads Driving Park has been
for couple of seasons or more in
charge of W. Doughty, developer of
the PAGER Stonewnll, from whom the
statement emanates that the track has
been sub-leased to Huntington and as
sociates.
