RECORD OF DAUGHTER OF MEDDLER. A mare that raced somewhat disappointingly this year, in comparison with her achievements on the track in former years, was II. P. Whitneys Brook-dale Nymph. As a two-year-old in 1905 she won the high percentage of half of her races, including the Rancbo del Paso Stakes. At three years she won five times out of eleven races and amoiig her successes was included the Brighton Oaks, Last year she won the Omnium Handicap, at a mile and an eighth in 1:52. defeating Dandelion, Old Honesty, McCarter and iKeunyet.to among others; the Broux Handicap, at three-quarters in 1:12s, with 117. pounds up. beating Jack Atkin 125, Adoration 98, and Ben Ban, Oraculum, Tongorder and Aeronaut; the Westchester Handicap, at six and a half fiir-Iongs, in which, with 124 pounds in the saddle, she ran in the record time of 1:175. with Ben Ban 101. Kentucky Beau 102. Aeronaut 99, Adoration 98 and Far West 112 behind her at the finish. Her last winning race of the year was the Aqueduct Handicap, at a mile and a sixteenth, in which, carrying lit! pounds, she defeated Monfort 95. Gretna Green 107, Ben Ban 99, Far West 102. Faust 100, Nealdn 128 and Don Creole 97, running in 1:47 and winning easily by two lengths. In view of her high-class form of 1907 it was but natural that much was expected of her this year. She ran moderately well only and failed in stakes, but managed to win three purses. Her form was manifestly far inferior to that of 1907. Still she is a irood race marc and the following table, of her performances shows that she has amply paid her way: Brookdale Nymph, ch. m. 1903, by Meddler Cas-talia. Year. Age.
