ED. CORRIGAN TO RETIRE.
His Famous Thoroughbred Con-
signed TO Eastern Sales.

Lexington, Ky. May 3l.-Edward Cor
rigan has made UP his mind TO sell
every thoroughbred horse he owns. and
has instructed a local compiler to have
printed for him a catalogue of the four
stations. seventy-four mares, and forty-
odd foals at his 5OO-acre farm near this
city. II is his intention 10 sell his forty
two yearlings at Sheepshead Bay this
year. The horses training. numbering
something like sixty head. he has already
begun to sell of privately.
All told. Mr.. Corrigan owns about go
thOroughbreds. His stations are the i'm
ported horses Marta Santa, MCGEE, Scin-
tillant II. and Ormicant. Among the
mares there are nine daughters Of Long
fellow. eight daughters of Darebin. seven
daughters Of Artillery, eight by Riley. six
by BrantOme, four by order, three by
Meddler and three by Midlothian. The
oldest mare on the farm is Lucerne, the
twenty-two-year-old sister to Riley, by
Longfellow-Geneva, by War Dance.
There are also two other full sisters
to Riley-La Pomona and Eugenia III.
Heller SHELTER dam OF Hurry Burly, and
she the dam of Burgomaster. is also num-
bered among the mares, and, being TWEEN
ty-one, is the second oldest on the farm.
The superb race mare, The Lady, is
likewise a member of the harem. Her
first foal is now two-year-old by Scin-
tillant IL He is considered a good racing
prospect though not so good as Marine,
the son Of Marta Santa and Lutte. the
half-sistar TO Golden Rule. Mr.. Corrigan
says this last-named colt is not only the
best two-year-old in his barn. but the
best horse Of his age he has seen In many
long wear.

he heard a cry for help. He ran on deck,
and at the end of the pier he saw a man
struggling in the water. On the wheel
was brand new rope. Murphy grabbed

After a search along the water front the
man was found on a canal boat moored
