G. 0xhard, younger brother of H. T. OxnaflH will go into racing on his ownjhook next year. TlH two brothers were in evidence together at the la sale at the Horse Exchange, New York, and J. Oznard has entered the bay colt Alberto, by Alb Octave, in the Stallion Stakes of 1904. TH youngster, as well as several others belonging the younger Oznard, is down at the farm of Williams, in Kentucky. This pending rivalry of the Oznard brothejaJ the turf is already a very interesting one, anH of their varying opinions op matters of 0C"tH and kindred topics are decidedly animated wlH mutually compared. m CBoth gentlemen are great accessions to raciB and will have the best wisbos of ill handsTandThlB rivalry will recall that of P; erro, George and Lotf Lorillard in the old days, when the brothers worf race against each other arid back their opiniolH heavily.
