Lady Roths comes from Henry T..
O1nsrd's Blue Ridge Stud. She was
rot only Fsyette's first winner, put
one Of the cleverest two-year-old hllies
81 the season Of 1914. She did not
sekle the cracks, because she had no

Of her age. She is grown in height
and weight and is developing a hand
some pair Of quarters.
GoldSborough bought the king
James two-yesr-olds from Mr.. Oxnard
iste in the autumn and tried them
highly. They are powerfully set up
colts, with King Jsmes's big masculine
head and lop ears, and Of unusual bone
snd muscular development. They arc
sensible, and always hungry, the isst
hsmed peeuliarity being . first rate
sign in a yearling. Mr.. Miller has
made dates for them In every specsi
ior two-year-olds that has closed since
tesy came into his possession. Like
every other horseman who owns king
5smes colt or so, Mr.. Miller thinks well
o. his two-yesr-old hand.
