THE BROMLEY and CO. STABLE. In the coarse of his recent inspection of the racehorses located in an abont Lexington "Kels-ton" drove out to the farm where the horses belonging to the well-known Chicago firm of Bromley and Go. are located and looked the lot -over. Here is his story of the stable as it -now is: "At present the horses are all in the rough, it being Julius Bauers custom to let up on his liorses entirely for about three months, and for exercise they are turned out in these roomy paddocks, and that they do well the splendid condition in which all of the string are in bears ample testimony. "Julius Bauer, who is not in the best of health, is at present sojourning at West Baden, in Indiana, but in Jerry Goff, his foreman, there is a thoroughly experienced and first-class man in charge. "The horses will bo taken up and exercised under saddle in the course of another ten days, -and the intention is to ship them to Morris Park about the middle of March. They are as follows : On Deck 5, Typhoon II., 5, Previous 4, Composer 3, Heliobas 3, Rose OLee 3, La Cheviot 3. The 2-year-olds are chestnut colt, by Albert Hoodoo ; brown colt, by Hanover Flying Witch; bay colt, by Order Hattie B.; bay colt, by Iroquois Trade.Wind; chestnut colt, by Hanover Miss Baden; chestnut colt, by Sir Dixon Mattie Amelia: chestnut colt, by Hanover Ursuline Nun; chestnut colt, by JTonso Hannarinda; chestnut colt, by Long Dance Silverlight; chestnut filly, by Iroquois Fairy; chestnut filly, by Tea Tray Miss Longford; brown filly, by Iroquois York--ville Belle. There are also a chestnut colt by Order and a chestnut colt by Fonso, the dams of which Mr. Goff could not call to mind. "Of the older horses in the string, On Deck, -which has been under treatment since early in the fall, is now sound and his ailing leg clean -and cool and his trainer is hopeful of his standing training. Typhoon II., who has recently been added to the list, is also going sound. Previous, which enjoys being turned out, has put on flesh, and is in hard, rugged condition for a thoroughbred. This horse has wonderful trotting action, bending his knee and flexing his hock in great style. "Heliobas, which showed high class form in the west, is a lengthy, wiry looking horse, with good bone, and if of as high class last year as we hear tell of, is just the type of colt to make and good racehorse with another year over his iiead. "The three-year-old fillies Rose OLee and La Cheviot have both famished and let down, and the stable is rather sweet on them. "Of the two-year-olds my choice would bo for the Hanover Flying Witch colt and the Albert Hoodoo colt. The latter is a big framed, powerful colt, with immense bone, and as he is possessed of a great turn of speed it would seem he ought to prove a bit above a commoner. The Hanover Flying Witch colt, which has come on wonderfully since I last saw him, looks all over a racehorse, nicely balanced and full of quality, and as he also was tried very highly without being overdone, I .look for this classy looking colt to be very troublesome in early stake events, as he is one of the sort that will come to hand early. "Of the fillies the Iroquois Yorkville Belle filly is as high a class type, combining substance with quality, as I have seen in many a day, and as she is clean limbed and nicely balanced I will be very much disappointed if she does not prove a good one. Tho Iroquois Fairy filly is a stout, big quartered, hardy looking sort on rare limbs. "The Iroquois Trade Wind colt brother to Gotham is on the raking big-framed order, and while he will not come to hand oarly he can hardly fail to have some class to him. The Hanover Ursuline Nun colt has improved very much, has fined down and shows much more finish and quality than he did some months ago, and while I like the Flying Witch and Hoodoo colts better, bred as he is, the Ursuline colt is likely to be heard from. There are several others which look useful, but the above are decidedly the pick, and with anything like ordinary luck, the popular yellow and black ought to be prominent in two-year-old stake events. "Unless some decision hePs been arrived at within the last few days the stable has no jockey engaged for the coming season. "It is little wonder that Julius Bauer brings his string out here to winter, as it is ia every respect an ideal place for tho purpose, as no matter how hard it may freeze the close, heavy herbage on the old turf pastures affords capital going."
