The most distinguished Of the older
horses back from England this year Is
Harmonicon. a half-brother to Hilari-
Gus, the most formidable Of Fitz Her
bert's rivals among the Eastern three
year-olds of 1909. Harmonicon had the
reputation Of being the smartest
sprinter in England last year. lie won
the Stafford Borough Handicap, at Man
chester, from Hornets Beauty; the July
Handicap, at Newmarket, under l2o
pounds from first rate field; the King
George Handicap, at Newmarket, under
1856 pounds from Flying Orb, Great sur
~
Snailwell Handicap, at Newmarket, un-
der 1873 pounds from horses OF ABOUT
the same quality.
Tho performances Of this horse next
season will be followed with keen in
tcrest by those who remember that
Whisk Broom, returning from England
in 1918 with the reputation Of being
nothing better than sprinter, won the
Metropolitan, Brooklyn and suburban
hardicaps, the last-namcd race under
the steadying impost Of 1875 pounds in
the sensational time of 200 fiat for
one mile and q quarter, and that Bor-
row, a full brother TO Dreamer and a
I halfbrother 20 the famous steeplechas-
or Hvlas. came back home last year
with the reputation of being a miller,
pure and simple, and won the Saratoga
| Handicap.
Harmonicon a Strapping Horse.
/ II Is nearly sure thing that Rowe
will have Harmonicon. a strspping stall
lion Of the Disguise type, ready for
the Metropolitan Handicap, and that
the half brother TO Hilarious. which
could 20 as far as horses are asked 20
travel. will race right on in the Brook
lyn. Empire City and Saratoga handi-
caps IL he shows that he can get as
far as a mile IN first class company.
T The Metropolitan should furnish
enough Of test Of his stamina. He
probably gill meet Buskin. who won
last years Metropolitan in better than
1888, and hall dozen smart three
year-olds that will make him stretch
his neck
Pandean. a half brother TO Luke Nc
Luke. one Of the few good three-year
olds OF last season, is probably the
best distance runner of the establish
ment. and he is wintering handsomely
Rowe expects him 20 hold his own IN
better company this year than he did
last Pandegn WAS out Of sorts IN the
early part Of the year and got little
training until August. But he proved
MS quality at Laurel in October. wher
he defeated Buskin over a distance OF
ground. Borrow is wintering sstisfae
torily and probably will come TO hanc
early, but no improvement is looked foi
In an aged gelding. II he holds his
own, he will easily earn his keep,
Borrow's year-old brother. Slum'
Der II. one Of the most robust horses
in training, will be trained for sprints
This fellow probably was intended for
a distance horse. but he has pair OF
bad knees, which will interfere with
his training for distance OF ground.
Regret Fine filly.
The smartest two year-olds Of last
season developed by Mr. Whitney were
the fllies Regret. Spun Glass, Dinah DO
and Broomleaf. and of these Regret,
the winner OF the SSratogs Special
