These youngsters did not get their trial work until January and the day was a blustery one with snow falling at the time they were running. Philip and Neoga are regarded as the pic* of the band, they having shown ! est in the trial, which was accomplished in 23tj for the quarter. Philip is a stoutly made little horse, quick in breaking and has a handy way of going. He looks like an early money horse. Neoga is of the blocky type and is so well developed that she looks now like a three-year-old. She is over fifteen hands. The other filly. Dusky Dame. is taller by an inch, but is not of as good conformation and is not as quick in action. Wine Man is a big, stout, fully developed colt well worth remembering when racing time comes.
