Hildreth vigorously denied report
in 1910 that Fitz Herbert had gone
wrong. although the great horse did
not start after winning the Brooklyn
Handicap. Fitz Herbert came back
to the races this year on several oc-
casions and showed soundness a. to
wind and limb. A year ago the train
er sold Dalmatian. another great
Ethelbert colt. to Louis Winans. an
American who lives in England.
For many years Hfidreth was unable
to secure license to train on the
Jockey Club tracks because OF q per-
sonal encounter with Madden at Nor
ris Park. When he was reinstated he
began training for r. Il. Smathers,
who bought McChesney, witfui, Dick
Bernard and others to race on O big
scale. At the end OF two years Smath-
ers. admitting that he was &200. 600

gan to race horses in his own colors.
II was frequently reported that Mad
den and w. A. Pfnkerton were hnan.
cially interested In the stable. but
this was denied by Hildreth, who In
sisted that the venture was his own.
He won more than 5000, 200 In stakes
and purses during the seasons of 1903
and 1910, but IL was said that he lost
some heavy wagers.
When Novelty won a rich stake
event Mt Saratoga Hiidreth was thun-
derstruck. This year he raced on the
Canadian circuit, and Is said to have
sustained heavy losses, so heavy that
he made up his mind several months
ago to go to England.
Jockey Shilling is the best race rider
inthis country. He IL able to make
ITO pounds without much reducing
and Is a natural horseman. He has
a reputation for honesty which is
known on the other side. Shilling Is
said to be worth enough money to in
sure a life OF ease when hequits the
saddle.

NEW YORK. Nov. as. C. Hill
dreth. probably the best trainer OF
race horses In this country abandoned
the American turf when he sailed for
England on the Mauretania yester-
day. He was accompanied by the
crack Jockey Carroll Shilling, who ex-
poets to make his mark on the Brit
ish race courses. at the same time rid
ing for his present employer. Hill
dreth announced before his departure
that he had sold Fitz Herbert, Novel;
ty. Zeus, Shannon. Hampton Court
Restigouche. Puggins and Gold Blade
to Charles Kohler. piano maker. who
was said to have paid $4,000 for un-
Gle Hildreth's sensational Madden bred
three-year-ol1 In 1907. Uncle. how
ever. finally got back into Hildreth's
barn at Sheepshead Bay. and later
was sent to the stud.
When 1t was reported yesterday that
Kohler had paid more than 100000
for Hildreths racers turfmen were In
clined to smile as they recalled the
fact that when these horses were put
up at auction at the Bay in Septem-
Der nobody wanted them. In fact Hill
dreth cut the sale short with unex-
pected abruptness when he discovered
that he couldn't secure o single legit-
innate bid for Restigouche and Hamp-
ton Court, who were knocked down
to John Hynes and, then were returned
to their owner.
According to Hildreth the horses
purchased by Kohler viii be shipped
to England on November II. Hiidreth
will train them II he secures license
from the English Inckey- Club. and the
kohler silks will be seen In some i'm
portant events. But turfmen at the
Bay limited yesterday that at the last
moment the horses might not be
shipped across the Atlantic. They
were positive In the belief that. Fitz
Herbert, IL he reached England, would
never race.
Horse Changes Hands
Fftz Herbert. by the way, has
changed hands frequently. He was
bred by Perry Belmont. sold to A. j.
Joyner, who turned the Ethe1bert colt
over TO another turfman. Hildretn
finally purchased him. He sold him
TO John Il. Madden for 10000 and
then repurchased him for $4,000. the
Jockey Club solemnly approving each
transaction. Hildreth and Madden,
once bitter enemies, were supposed to
be turf partners In recent years. and
Hildreth proceeded TO buy Madden
bred horses with lavish hand. Mad
den. for instance. bought Novelty as
a yeariing ar the Keene sale and sold
him TO Hildreth As "A two-year- old,
