GOOD COLT THAT HAS BEEN KEPT IN THE MAIDEN RANKS BY COLIN. I BAR NONE, BAY COLT, 2, BY NASTURTIUM EQUALITY. Bar Colin would be a more fitting name for Harry Payne Whitneys two-year-old son of Nasturtium and Equality than liar None, for it is Colin that has kept this good colt in the ranks of the maidens. The Keene champion and -the -Whitney colt made their debuts together in that big field of twenty-three in the over-night race for maidens that was run second on the card at Belmont Park, May 29. At the finish it was Colin first. Bar None second and the others nowhere. The order of finish was the same in the National Stallion Itace at Belmont Park, June 1. Colin did not start in the Great American Stakes, in vihich Bar None made his third effort, at Gravesend, June S, and in which lie finished third to Cohort and Masque, but they came together again in the Brighton Junior at Brighton Beach, July 27, Colin winning, witli Chapultcpec second aiid Bar None third. Bar Nones fifth start was in the Hopeful Stakes atSara-toga, August 17, and he finished third to Jim Taffney and Fair Play. His next was bis second to Colin in the Futurity at Sheepshcad Bay, August ;51, anil his seventh start and fifth meeting with Colin was in the Flatbush Stakes yesterday, Colin and his stable mate, Celt, finishing first and second, with Bar None third. Thus lie has never been unplaced and lias won ,0!. Bar None is a great big, rapidly growing colt, one of the sort that is hard to condition in liis first year of racing, but there is no question about his good quality. He has earned his right 1o rank among the best of the year, barring Colin, and he will surely win before the season ends unless he encounters Mime untoward circumstance. Good judges among the horsemen in the cast predict that he will develop into one of the star three-year-olds of 190S. Bar None is a half brother to that good race horse, Algid, son of Top Gallant, and it was the achievements of Algol that caused the late William C. Whitney to buy his dam, Equality, from John B. Ewing and place her in the stud at La Belle Farm. Emancipation, by Lissak; Anaconda, by Hamburg, and Commune, by Meddler, were the three foals dropped by Equality at La Belle prior to her mating with Nasturtium, the horse for which Mr. Whitney paid 0,000 as a two-year-old and sent to England in the hope of winning the Derby, but the son of Watercress proved a disappointment. Equality was bred to Nasturtium in the spring of 1904 and was in foal to him when at the dispersal sale of the Whitney Stud in October of that year, when she was sold to Sydney Paget for 00. Hairy Payne Whitney subsequently took over the mare from Mr. Paget and Bar None was foaled his property In the spring of 1905. Bar Nones tabulated pedigree is as follows: J St. Albans , Stockwell.
