Hildreth is still the trainer for the stable, said Mr. Paget, but we have so many horses how that we have concluded to give a few of the yearlings to Mr. Welch and some of the older ones to Peter Wimmer. That is all there is to the story." The California Jockey Club haB under contemplation the giving of another big stake. It is to be a cuplrace at two and one-quarter miles. T. C.
