KING JAMES TO BE SEEN FREQUENTLY. New York. June 5. — King James, winner of the Brooklyn Handicap, is a Imv of tine pro|Mtrtlons. Heavily set up. he is as sound as a new dollar. He is well engaged iu eastern stakes and S. C. Hildrcth. his owner, says lie will be seen in action frequently. King James carried more thsh than any horse in tlie Brooklyn with the possible exception of Celt and his coat had that rich gloss that betokens period health. Concerning King Janus Brooklyn Handicap victory. Mr. Hiblrcth said: "I felt confident of winning. King James is a speedy, rugged and honest horse. He seems to thrive mi hard work. That trip to Canada did not hurt him. as some people thought it would. He is not so tall, but he is a big horse. Last fall he split his loot and was out of training for only a mouth. I tint a bar shoe on the injured foot, which healed nicely, and now he has good feet all around. He is in everything I could get him iu. "I suppose Mr. Yosburgh is right now figuring how much he can carry. Of course he had to be hustled to beat Rcstigouchc that wav weighted. Last winter, in California, I wasnt sure but Resti-gouehe was the best horse I had oyer a distance. He is all right when you let him run as he likes. In sprints, when he is hustled right from flic start, he doesnt like it and sometimes wont try."
