FILLY WITH NOTED CONNECTIONS DIES. Lexington. Ky.. March 25.— The full sister to Highball and Ben Fleet, by Ben Strome — Strychiuia. which was foaled at Dixiana Farm March 2, Is dead. Major T. J. Carson is of opinion that the death of this valuable foal was due to rheumatism. This is the fifth foal of Strychiuia by Ben Strome to die. The first was a bay filly foaled in 1808, then the foal of 1904, the same year Highball won the American Derby. During the past winter speedy Ben Fleet died in the east and now comes the passing of this foal. Major Carson, however, takes the matter philosophically and has again mated the mare with Ben Strome. The best work this morning at the Kentucky Association course was by the three-year-olds Honest Boy and Skyo. They worked over a track that was not fast, the former going a half mile in 02 J and the latter the same, distance la OJ.
