Phillips, trainer for Fred Cook, has bought of Milton Young, McGrathiana Stud, tho brown yearling colt by Pirate of Penzance Belle Swift, by Enquirer or Iroquois, for ,750. He also bought for ,CO0 of J. V. Shipp, Sunny Slope Stud, the yearling chestnut colt by Knight of Ellerslie Lady Lou, the yearling bay colt by Florist Pocahontas, and four other yearling colts and fillies, three of which are by Victory. He also purchased two yearling colts ofLon Jones of Louisville, both by Florist, at a private figure. Phillips was accompanied by Hiram Scoggan, who aided him in selecting the youngsters he bought for Cook, who proposes to have an extensive racing stable out in 1903. Robert Baker, the steering end of the firm of Baker and Gentry, Lexington, Ky., is determined that there shall be no "pole moving" on his domain. When Baker came into possession of the Kingston Stud, a couple of weeks ago, thoro were some telephone poles on the place. Tho telephone company which had its wires strung on the polos sent a gang of workmen out to Kingston last week with instructions to remove tho shorn pines. Baker objected to the proceeding, contending that when he purchased tho noted breeding establishment ho had received a deed to everything on it, even to the hencoops and their contents. The workmen in. sisted and he had them arrested. They wero released on bond and he hadijthem arrested some more five times more. Baker argues that if the pole holes belong to him he is likewiso the owner of everything that is in the holes.
