rone was a member of II Eugene Leighs string horsemen have never seen a higherclass lot of two yearolds than are now in training near Lexington Ky and at the timehonored Kentucky Association track Their number too largely exceeds that in any former year in the last decade as there are at the track alone at least 200 colts and fillies which in a month or six weeks more of steady training will be ready to go to the races Since the first of January all of the horses in training both at the Kentucky Association course and at private tracks near Lexington Ky have been constantly at work Fast trials cannot bo reported for a few days for the reason that while many of the horses are far advanced in their preparation the unsettled weather has rendered the track unfit for fast work The horses have been galloped over blue grass fields near the course and on the boulevards which extend from the outskirts of the city to Ashland the old home of Henry Clay At Memphis last Tuesday Dutch Strubie

assigned in the Montgomery Handicap Brig ¬ ade finished pulling to Miracle II and won easily by three length in 1 16 Miracle II has been backed from 40 to 10 to 1 in the coming race and his sup ¬
