June 20. and some of the English racing critics say it is piite possible that the .-on-led golden trophy will be taken to Russia to adorn a place in the palace of the Czar. Commenting upon the ownership of Hammurabi, a London paper says: "The entries show that Hammurabis owner i- given a- -Mr. Dcrkiil." A- a matter of fad. -evcial Una sian noblemen and gentlemen arc registered a l Messrs. Weathcrbys as holding shares in the great Rn-sian four year old. Registration is obligatory. The entry at Old Burlington street runs as follows: M. I.azarelT. 111."...: M. de Sliuve. 10 .V.: M. Zve gnlatnant, ." ." : General Bdaaowitk, 5-56; General Aripoff. and-fiS; Count Nierolh. 3-55; Irincc Calitzin. 2 ."."»: M. Jaskiil-ky. 3-55; Coiinl de Riheaupier.v. •The authority for saying that the Czar is Hie aclual owner of Hammurabi is of the highest, ami this as distinct from the horses more generally be longing to the Imperial stud. The personal per nii-sion of the Czar had to be obtained ln-fore the horse was sent over to Ibis counlry. Tin- Ru— ini imperial crown is branded on Hammurabis shoulder. ■llamniurabi is vested in the names mentioned above for the ourposcs of racing, and after his carter terminates on the racetrack he will take up stud duty in Russia, l-rom the reports received by The Scout. Hammurabi is no ordinary horse, but a racer of extraordinary action and slaying capacity."
