that will carry his colors here during
the winter, but il is said that he is
seriously considering the sending OF

wonderful colts, Sir Martin and Fayette,
her own crack stable mate. Helmet;
Harry Payne Whttneys Perseus, Medi-
ant and other good ones We're among
those that finished behind her in the
futurity. Sir Martin, aided by pull
in the weights. turned the tables ON
her in the F1atbuSh. but she easily
held safe Fayette. Wedding Bells and
Trance, the remaining starters, despite
