Speaking of the most recent success of Bromley and Co.s grand two-year-old Mesmerist, an eastern writer eays: "The perf -rmince was a great ono, and it must assuredly ttamp Mesmerist a great colt, as on his build he would have a light to b selec ed to be. It is a pleasure to seo the Bromleys get hold of so good a y urgster They have at od tho gaff when thiugi went wrong and big expenses had to bo met, they have paid liberally for yearlings, and j have maintained a big establishment without j t regard to expenio. They deserve whatever turf success may come their way." j i I Tho trioute to Messrs. Bromley and Feather-stone is richly deserved. Their success this year is a source of gratiflca ion to Chicago turfmen. Up to Gate the horses composing th-ir stable have won slightly in excess of 0,000, of which Mesmerist has contributed 9X97.50, Missionary and Previous winning most of the lemaiudar. With further successes to be reaaojably anticipa.eJ, it is apparent already that Bromley and C j. must raak hish up in the list of this years principal winning owners. j j t j i I Some of the youngsters sold by The Easton Company at Sbeepshead Bay Tuesday and Wednesday were flue specimens of the thor-ougbred and brought good prices.
