SMART FOREIGN
HORSES ARRIVE
ON MINNEHkHA
MaCkay, Whitney and
Walters YearlingS in
Consignment.

One Of the most rotable consign-
ments Of foreign thorouchbreds re-
ceived in this country in many years
arrived on the steamer Minnchaha yes
terday. Most Of the thirty-odd horses
are yearlings.
The much heralded Haras de Fres-
nay baby racers dropped out OF sight,
go far as the interest Of the little group
Of horsemen who braved the damp and
slush to see the ship in we're con-
cerned. when A. B. Hancock's Wrack
was led down the gangplank. The
snowy chestnut six-year-old was the
centre OF attraction while they took OF
his plates.
The six-year-old son Of Robert le
D;able-Lamphire, which carried the
silks Of Lord Rosebery both on the fiat
and through the field, is the most i'm
portant sire brought here since Rock
Sand. IL is understood that the price
paid for him was more than $4,000.
Wrack will be placed in the Hancock
Stud in Kentucky.
Another English sire. which has not
such an enviable record on the turf.
consigned 20 Walter Jennings, is Tho
Cock, a striking chestnut by Poussln.
His dam was an unnamed mare b.
Volodyovsk, which carried w. c.
Whitney's colors in the Derby in 1901.
Another Of the older horses that az
tracted considerable interest was Allu-
incur, a four-year-old bay colt, by Med
der Strike-a-Light, Of the Msckay
consignment. Allumeur. which has an
enviable record on the French turf 20
his credit, will be sold, together with
the bakers dozen Of Mr. Mackay's year
lings from his Normandy stud next
week.
A lot Of three, practically the last Of
II. P. Whitney's foreign-bred yearlings,
consisted Of Sun F sh, a bay colt, by
lie Roi Soliel; Alstar Cress, an es.
pecially fine looking and well bred bay
filly, by the noted French sire. Mac
Donald; Frisole, which was a success
full race mare half a dozen years ago IN
France, and an unnamed bay colt by
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Two o-year-olds, as smart looking
as any in the lot, came in for John
Walters, Of Nashville. One was a
sturdy brown colt with q wide blaze
and two white feet. Sharpe Frost and
he are by the English sire, Weather
cock-Ardent. The other was likely
looking chestnut colt by Altnabreac-
Cliodna.
The Walters yearlings are bay colt
by White Knight-Marquetry, bay
colt by Mushroom-Clefd dor, brown
colt by Sunder-Persuasion. a brown
hlly Ly Sunder-Miss Elsie and bay
colt By Thrush-Donna Anna H.
Edward Johnson, who trained here
almost twenty years ago Tor J. n.
Vingut and Ralph Ellis and who had
raced in England with success, brought
over q lot Of yearling FLIES Of his
own, which he will train for the races
and may later sell. They'll race better
than they shipped, which was well
enough. take JohnsOn's word for that.
The youngsters are Land Stock, bay
fllv by Land League Australian
Daisy; Griselle, a bay FLY by Grey
Leg-Camelot; Spinnifex, a bay. FLY
by Marajax -Chraig; Merry Littleton,
a BAY FLY by Littleton-Merry Wing;
Norman's Pride. by Pride-Norman. and
an unnamed bay by Llangowan-Snap-
shot.
In addition to the thoroughbreds,
there were ABOUT a dozen shire horses
and hacks and cobs consigned 70 sew
eral Western stock farms. All the
horses shipped well, despite the fact
that the ship had one Of its stormlest
voyages.
