C. Hildreth has a two-year-old full sister to Bravoure. which he says he would not sell for ,000. J. O.

The Pippin, by Ben Strome — Spindrift, and the brown filly, Counterpane, by Sandringham — Homespun, to the Newcastle Stable. They are half sisters to Wave Crest and The Squire. So little did trainer Hoag fancy the chances of Carmelina in the California Oaks that prior to the running of the race he tried hard to buy Marian Casey from John Lowe, offering ,500 for the filly and 00 out of the first money should she win. Lowe declined to sell.
