WILLIAM GERSTS STABLE AT NASHVILLE. Brewer-Turfman Has Thirty-one Horses Under Care of Trainer McDaniel at Cumberland Part. Nashville, Tenn., February 7. Since the victories of Karama, Colloquy and La Vernlta at New Orleans, trainers at Cumberland Park have been sticking a few more feathers into the cap of William McDaniel. The "Derby trainer" still has his good eye for likely racing prospects, hence the congratulations. It was upon his recommendation that Mr. Gerst bought Karama from Milton Young last July. He fancied the youngster because he so much resembled the Macduffs and told Mr. Gerst that taking the colt at 00, the breeders price, was almost like finding him. Colloquy and La Vernita McDaniel never saw until two or three months after Mr. Gerst had bought the in, the brewer-turfman having made the purchase after McDaniel had told him that he liked their pedigrees. Late in the fall George Holle, who is Mr. Gersts sou-in-law, expressed a desire for some of the two-year-olds in his paters string. Mr. Gerst told him to pick -out what he wanted and lie would fix the prices on them. Karama he got for 50, which was an advance of 50 on the original purchase. These youngsters were then turned over to George Ham, the former jockey, who has been connected with the establishments of Messrs. Gerst and Holle for three or four years. That he lias made good with them thus far goes without saying. William McDaniel has a string of thirty-one horses in Mr. Gersts new barn at Cumberland Park. There are seventeen two-year-olds, eleven three-year-olds, two four-year-olds and one five-year-old. These horses are all in good health and have been moving along satisfactorily in their work.
