Roci; Sand--Trigger.
Frederick Johnson, who was liberal
purchaser of yearlings in England last
fall, has named some Of the likeliest OF
the lost for the stakes at Belmont
Park. Most of them are bred in the
purple, and should give good account
Of themselves. They include a chestnut
colt by Roi Herode. sire Of The Tert-
arch, the best -year-old England has
seen in many a day, and Alphabet; a
bay colt by Polymelus, sire Of last
years New Derby winner Pommern, and
Evadnue; a chestnut colt by Tredonic-
Ladytown; a bay colt by Cicero-Gel-
inotte, and bay colt by Santry-Lily-
dale.
Among the home-breds that will be
expected to give good account OF
themselves is MeteOrite, the Star
Shoot-Hamburg Belle colt that John
Sanford bought at the last Haggin sale
at Sheepshead Bay in July. This
smart-looking, outstanding youngster
WAS knocked down TO the owner of the
Hurracana Farm for S12,500, the high
est price brought by a yearling since
the lapse Of racing.
The two-year-olds that have been
named to carry the Whitney colors in
the Juvenile are a bay gelding by
Burgomaster Whimsical, a brother to
Whimsy, a cast-off from the Brookdale

Price Mckinney and James Corrigan,
who will make their bow on the East
ern turf next year under the name OF
the Wickliffe Stable, have entered a
number of we'll bred -year-olds,
one an especially smart brown filly by
Sweep-Dominoes, & half-sister TO
Dominant. one Of the best Of his age
last season.
With few exceptions, the two-year-
olds named for the Keene Memorial are
the same as those entered for the
Juvenile. Sixty-four FLIES are down
on the books for the Fashion. August
Belmont has named four, one of them
half-sister to the ill-fated Morse
King. Nancy Fair, bay FLY by
Hastings -Nineveh. Captain f. B. Cas-
satt has entered a full sister to
Garbage, Odds and Ends, an sptly
named brown filly by Aeronaut-Trash.
While the nominations for the two
year-old stakes have been liberal, those
for the older make an equally good
showing. The Metropolitan Handicap
closed with fifty-seven nominations and
the Suburban, now fixture at the
Nassau County track, had like num-
Der The list for both is a most rep
resentative ono for practically all the
best horses from the big stables are
named.
Several foreign-bred horses have
been nominated for the Metropolitan.

chestnut. by Thrush-Azores, that h.
