AMERICAN HORDES IN ENGLAND. The latest English Racing Calendar received shows that American thoroughbreds are much more freely engaged in coming events on the British turf than was at first supposed. For the April Auction Stakes, at the Alexandra Park spring meeting, Mr. Dobell nominates a bay or brown filly by Tenny Loveknot, and a bay or brown filly by Fresno Naiad, both bred in the United States; and for the July Auction Plate, at a later meeting on the same track, the American-bred youngsters named are H, Fredericks br. f, by Pontiac Tiara, by Alarm, and H. Milners b. f, by Uncle Jess Downshire Lass. Entries for the Weston Stakes at the Bath and Somerset May meeting include Richard Crokers Hand Over and Dolbeara, and the same owner nominates Salina and Demonstration for the Rottingdean Plate at the Brighton August meeting. Other entries for the latter event include J, Shorey Curtis ch. c, Tristano and b. f, Ladys Favour. C. F. Dwyer is doubly represented for the Epsom summer meeting, having nominated Peaches for the Caterham Plate and Sly Fox for the Epsom Cup. The same horses are engaged at the Gortwick spring meeting, Peaches being in the Mart .Plate, while Sly Fox fizure3 among the candidates for the Princes Handicap of ,000, at one mile and a half. Sly Fox is also booked for the Esher Stakes of the same value at Salisbury, and Peaches has still another engagement in the Qreat Kingston Stakes at the Eclipse meeting in July. J. E. McDonalds once noted colt, Rensselaer, now a five-year-old, is entered for a long series of events, mostly welter handicaps. He has engagements at Lincoln Spring, Northampton and Pytchley Hunt, Nottingham, and Birmingham. The last named fixture, which is set for April 3 and 4, promises to have quite an American flavor. The entrie.3 for the Holiday Plate include Richard Crokers three-year-old Rosina W. and Sweet Chimes, while in the Water Orton Plate are the same owners Bowling Green and Qeorgiana as well as McDonalds Rensselaer. The latter is also in the Newport Stakes. Apparently Pierre Lorillard has not turned all his British turf interests over to Lord William Beresford, as he appears in the calendar as a heavy nominator for the rich Lingfleld Park Stakes of about 5,000, to be run early in July. Lorillard has accepted with the four-year-old Elphin, and the three-year-olds Dominie II., Myakka and Sibola. Crokers Sweet Chimes is also left in.
