The end of the first six months of 1800 racing in the United States, Cuba and Canada finds the American-bred stallion. Cesar-Ion, seventeen-year-old son of Faustus and Clco-iratra, by Rosicrucian, at the head of the list o sires of two-year-old winners. Cesarion is the horso that was raced so successfully by the late Byron McClelland. He was purchased for the McGrathiana Stud by Colonel Milton Young, and there made his reputation as a sire of sprinters. Last fail when the McGrathiana Stud was dispersed, Irving H. Wheatcrofr, the wealthy railroad and mining magnate, who has interests in Kentucky. Oklahoma and British Columbia, and who is a comparatively newcomer to the ranks of turfmen and breeders, bought him for the trifling sum of ,500. Cesarion has to his credit the following fourteen juveniles, which liavo collectively won thirty-two races, with an aggregate net value of 9,770: Flying Squirrel. Carroll. Fire. Helma S.. A. J. Small, Kid. Sir Ashton. La Petite. Ablhu. Miss Loris, Jessica, C. A. Loiman, Lena Merle and Lu-cetta. Of these Flying Squirrel, Carroll and A. J. Small are stake winners, and In this respect.
