In ids trial last Tuesday for yesterdays Champagne Stakes at Belmont Park, Colin, the great colt worked seven furlongs in 1:20E, finishing out the mile in 1:11!. The fractions were: lis, 23, 35i, m, 1:00. 1:128, 1:20E. The Santa Anita track builders were extremely fortunate in being able to get steel for the grand-stand in Los Angeles. livery thing except a few pieces was found at Eos Angeles and the missing links were picked up at San Francisco. Mr. Keene lias not always liecn fortunale with his purchases. When the late Senator George Hearst died, and the great stable was sold, Mr. Keene bid 3,000 for Tournament, which was a failure afterward. For years Mr.- Keene continued to bid on the brothers and sisters to Ioxhall, which did so much for him in England and France, but none was of any consequence- as racers.
