CASSATTS FUTURITY NOMINATIONS. Some evidence of the serious turf intentions of Major E. "J. Cassatt is had in his nominating six mares for the Futurity of 1910. The mares have all been bred to the imported horse, Matchless, and in the half-dozen matrons there are Clatter, North-minster and Equpoise, which call to mind some of the turf . victories of E. J. Cassatt, and some of the fame of his Chesterbrook Stud in Pennsylvania. Equipoise is now twenty-six years old. She is by Enquirer Bandana, by Bonnie Scotland. Since being retired to the stud she has sent to the races Eastern Shore, Rhythm, Scales, The Rhymer, Anne Hathaway, Barometer, Equity, Balance, Eric, Pendulum and many others. Clatter is seventeen years old. She Is by Stratford Eclat, by Enquirer, and was sent to the stud in her fourth year. She produced another Rhythm, and her second year as a matron, she dropped Floinic B. Both of these fillies were by The Bard. In 1S96 she was barren and in 1S97 she was bred to Cadet, a hackney, and a chestnut colt was the produce. Northminster is the youngest of the three matrons represented and she is sixteen years old. She was imported by the elder Cassatt and is by Silurian Queemninster. She went .to the stud as a three-year-old and her first colt was Rhyinster, by The Bard. She was also the maternal ancestor of Llllie Simmons, Solomon, Prince of Arragon and Bardminster, a filly that never went to the races. The return of the Cassatt stable to the turf is a very decided gain for the sport, and the fortunes of Major Cassatt will be watched with interest. No better sportsman ever raced a horse than the elder Cassatt, and his son has Inherited his love for the sport naturally. Slajor T. J. Carsou, of the Dixiana Stud, is the most liberal nominator of those that have alrpady reached the office of the Coney Island Jockey Club. In addition to a number of those by his own sires, he has napaed the produce of Star Uuby PllowJpx.
