THE DWIER STRING OF 1899. Mr. M. F. Dwyers string at Sheepshead Bay is doing well. Richard Miller is its trainer. Kingdon, well engaged in the three-year-old - and general stakes of 1899 was a speedy, , but not too stout two-year-old last season, has i developed into a big, powerful horse, and looks i altogether a different animal. He is fully sixteen - hands high and has developed into a well L furnished, powerful looking horse. The colts i fore feet, which were always a bit narrow r and contracted, are in sound, healthy condi t tion. Eastern critics look for Kingdon to b9 one of the best three-year-olds of the year. Cleophus, who was treated by Dr. Sheppard 1 last fall for a bowed tendon, looks well and is likely to stand a preparation. Harry Beed looks ! fairly well, but he has seen his best day. The five-year-old Rotterdam looks very well, as do the three-year-olds, Satin Slipper, Greatland, Chopin and Robert. The latter, which went , amiss early in the season, is a compact, sturdy-looking J colt. He showed a lot of speed last year and is by Kingston, out of the Bonnie Scotland mare Bobadilla. Greatland, which has done as well as could be desired, is a smooth , turned, handsome horse, and his two-year-old form makes him entitled to respect. Satin Slipper has grown a lot. The two-year-olds are: B. c. by Victory Que-sal; br, c, by Albert Duchess May; ch. c, by Harry OFallon Opal; br. c, by Iroquois Duchess; ch. c, by Candlemas Rosemont, by Sir Modred or Kyrle Daly; b. c, by Albert Luminous, by Rayon dOr. It is a fairly good-looking lot. The Duchess colt and the Duchess May colt are both promising-looking colts. The Iroquois Duchess colt has nothing like the finish of his sire, but he has good racing points, and has a hard, game look to him. The Albert Duchess May colt, which was a bit undersized as a yearling, has coma on surprisingly.
