newly organized Beach stable, OF
which Messrs. Carman, Pendleton and
Ellsworth, all members of the cX
elusive Union Club, of New York
City. has arrived from Saratoga with
Carman in charge. With the Beach
stable have come fifteen or twenty
Campaigners or various ages that
have been winning stakes and pur-
ses under the Carman silks.
The Beach stable horses that are
ready for racing and will be seen
under cOlors at Hayre de Grace in
the course of the September meet
ing. which will begin on the 10th,
and continue until october /. are
the 2-year-Olds Wyndover and Pas
tOral Swain and the 4-year-old
Nectar Starfinch. Carman purchas-
ed these horses at Saratoga during
the last week or ten days of the
upstate meeting. He did not buy
more famous runners because none
such could be obtained. Good horses
are not for sale this fall.
However, in Pastoral. Swain.
Wyndover. Starfinch, Carman has
three campaigners that should
bear the Beach stable silks through
right creditably. Wyndover, a son Of
Free Lance was in Kentucky and at
Saratoga for Geo. Long, of Louisville
his breeder Starfinch, a son of Star
Shoot and Unterrock is a clever dis
tance running platter. Pastoral
Swain is a shapely brown colt by
Colin out OF Elegance. which was
tried highly by Henry A. Porter. his
developer. He cost Carman s1,7OO.
Carman paid $500 for Starfnch at
the recent sale OF former Jockey
William Travers. who foresook
racing the other day TO serve his
seas.

stable-there are nine of them

horses not of racing age. Upwards
of 1000 runners will race here and
many will have to find shelter in
stables outside the track enclosure.
Five hundred runners. all of them

Sweeper-Gas Get; Destruction, bay
filly by Watervale-Donna Rica i:

/ bert-Wheat Ear.
These are a handpicked lot and
/ the man who bought them at the
auction block is as shrewd a judge
OF budding racing talent as may be
found in half a dozen States. The
Flocarline colt. is a half brother of
Master Robert the son of Mazagan
which defeated Fair Play in the Bel
mont Park autumn weight for age
race of 1908 at Belmont Park.
The most famous members of the
Carman stable are Startling, Louis
", Blazeaway. Ideal The Boy, Jill,
Auntie, G. NJ. Miller, Surprising and
Nigel. With this modest stable
Carman has won a matter of thirty
races this season, which is more per-
haps than any other racing estab-
lishment has to its credit.
Startling the ever fast and ever
young, Louise v, The Boy. Jill,
Blazesway and old G. NJ Miller have
been the most reliable oat providers
for the Carman stable. G. NJ. Miller
has won three races. one of them at
Belmont Part, Startling five, Louise
". five and The Boy three. The per-
formances of Louise W. have, per-
haps, been more gratifying than have
those of any other member of the
string. Carman bred Louise ",
daughter of his fine Heno stallion The
Turk. at Benning race track and
raised her at his Carmandale farm
which is in Montgomery County, Md,
near Chevy Chase. -.

female line from Ortegal. the dam
OF Octagon. Carman has very nearly
first class colt. -
The Boy is tremendously fast and
he carried his speed splendidly over
