Hillside. County Fair and Sea Cliff. " Stamina may go along, too. The sale of Adam and twenty broodmares of the Mlllstienni Stud will take place on the twentieth of October at Etablisseincnt Cheri. Whether or not n Adam will lirlng as much as he cost his American purchasers is an interesting problem hanging on the sale. I Today Fair Plav starts out in his effort to win three big stakes in- the course of the Belmont Park meeting, the Jerome Handicap today. Municipal Han- 1 dieap Saturday and Belmont Park AVeight-for-Ago race a week later. It is a- heroic task but be is a . heroic colt. i Ethons last two races, three-quarters in 1:12, witli 113 pounds up. ami seven-eighths in 1:25. carrying 117, make him out about the fastest horse now racing in Canada and "a good one anywhere. It is simply a return to the excellent form he displayed over the New York tracks when- a two-year-old and opposed to the best of his age.
