The annually recur- j ring and alwavs interesting problem of two-year-old f, form is becoming fairly well defined and, although 7 will require the running of the stakes to come i Doncaster and the Newmarket autumn meetings decide the matter, the general opinion Is that the champion two-year-old of 1909 is already in sight in a group of four really high-class young horses composed of Lomberg, Charles OMalley, Ad- 1 miral Hawke and Neil Gow, with some thinking that Greenback has a look in. In unmistakable wavs evidence crops up that the two-year-olds of this year are of better average than those of 1908 and those named are really brilliant specimens of the thoroughbred horse. Lemberg Is a half-brother Bavardo and, havirig won all of his races In tak- I ing style, has the most adherents, but the others all have their confident partisans. The- four cracks are all in the Champagne Stakes at Doncaster and rare treat will be presented If all four should sent to the post. However, someone usually 3 tirades such a trial and it will probably be found that one or more of the quartet will be absent when the Champagne comes up for decision. Lortl Rose-berys Neil Gow is by Marco Chelandry and; is the t subject of diverse pronouncements, one to the effect that he Is soft and will prove a non-stayer. another the" opposite that he is a great lazy colt of the kind that will not do its best without stern rousing and generally trains on into great things What- ever the truth. Lord Rosebery can be content to await developments of the future, serene in the j knowledge that Neil Gow has won the richest stake for two-year-olds of the British turf. Admiral Hawke is the much-discussed brother to Pretty Polly and a better looking horse than she was. j Charles OMalley. is by Desmond Goody Two Shoes and in taking the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood won his third consecutive victory in as effective j style as anything his rivals have shown. , Fair Play ran in the Goodwood Cup, but made no showing, falling away after a mile and a quarter had been traversed and finishing tailed off. This undoubtedly good horse, by nature is a splendid looker ami to the eve appears to be thoroughly tit, but has developed such infirmity of disposition that he , simply will not try. In this connection it is worth rioting that the Goodwood Cup was won Once by a strictly American-bred horse. This was in 18G1, when Mr. Richard Ten Broecks six-year-old, Starke, bv Wagner Reel, defeated The Wizard by a head. The Wizard had won the Two Thousand Guineas of . 180 antl among the unplaced horses was Thormanby, the Derby winner of 1800. , Mr Herman Duryeas fine filly. Mediant, sailed , home quite alone in the Stewards! Cup- at Goodwood and. besides shocking the backers of the favorites, . brought up many reiuinlsceiises of her sire. Meddler. Bv common consent. Meddler was the best two- j year-old hi England in 1892. and, but for the death , of his owner. "Squire" Abington, might have been the Derbv winner of ISO", instead of Isinglass. His . nomination becoming void when Abington died, , Meddler was sold to Americas gain and -Englands , distinct loss. In Mediants case critics take comfort i in pointing out that she is entirely English-bred, .. her dam: Ballantrae, being a daughter of Ayrshire. , and bred and raced in this country, where she won , the Cambridgeshire of 1901. Mediants race was of unite the remarkable order, it being held that her impost of 111 pounds was sufficient to almost pre- , elude any possibility of her winning. Only once j before in the history of the Stewards Cup had it been won by a three-year-old with so much weight up This was in 1S79 when Hermits famous sou, ; Peter carried 112 pounds and won from twenty- , nine opiiohents. Taking sex allowance into consldera- j Hon, Mediants was the better performance. The recent stake record iu England and on the con- : tiuent: ,,, : Princess of Wales Stakes 10 Dark Donald B.

By St. Simon, out of Allbech. lie 1 was bred by Lord Durham in 1892, Son o Mine claiming the same dam. As a four-year-old Soliman won the Gatwick Handicap, beating Son o Mine, Safety Pin and others. In the following season he appropriated the Great Metropolitan Stakes with Allsopp in the saddle, the favorite. Chit Chat, ridden bv C. Wood, being unplaced. In the Cesarewitch in the same year he was unplaced to Merman. His only outing on the fiat in the ensuing season was in the November Handicap at Warwick, which he woii, beating the well-backed Sherburn four lengths. He was also a good performer over hurdles, scoring five times when a four-year-old, antl subsequently won many useful stakes, all in the colors of Mr. Hig-ham, while, when seven years old. he annexed the Kempton Maiden Steeplechase of ,500, with A. Nightingall up. As" a tive-year-oitl Soliman was sent over to Auteull to coutest the Grand Hurde Race and. starting a warm favorite, won easily in the hands pf Captain Bowickel At the stud Soliman has given us several smart race horses, including Spinning Solly, renamed Solferino. which showed himself verv speedy as a two-year-old. ami at Ascot in 1908 appropriated the New Biennial Stakes for Lortl Cadogan. He also sired The Bedouin. Titan, Mario Blanche, Sweet Rosalind and Silver Streak, which won the Lingtteld Park Plate for Mr. Litltliard three seasons ago; while not the least of his representatives "is Sir Harry, the winner of the Northumberland Plate a month ago. The entries obtained for the Derby and Oaks of 1911 are extremely satisfactory, even though they art! sliglitly below: the record number secured twelve months ago for the races to lie decided next year. The figures for the last five years, including those for the St. Leger, ar: Year. Derby. Oaks. St. Leger. 1!K7 . 2S3 212 193 1D0S 301 255 320 1909 . 818 281 332 1910 3S4 283 384 1911 ...................... 375 278 In the case of the St. Leger, the sudden jump to 320 in"! 90S Was; of course, due to the alteration of the- conditions. Whereas, up to and including 1907 it was purely a subscription race, 25 for each horse entered, with no minor forfeit, since, then the conditions as to subscriptions and forfeits have been the. same as those applying to the Derby, the guaranteed value being 5,500. including ,000 to the second and ,000 to the third horses. Entries for the St. Leger of 1911 will be closing towartl the entl of next mouth, and we may assume that they will be about equal to, if they do not outnumber, those for the Derby. Particulars of eighteen entered in New York have not vet been received, that is to say, they had not come to hand when the Calendar; was published, but details are given of two entered by A. Belmont, both by Rock Sand; of two named by Charles Carroll, both by Meddler out of Cambridgeshire winners Irish Ivv and Ballantrae, aud of four nominated by II. P. Whitney. Presumably J; R. Keene has entered his lot in New York. Frencli owners lire strongly represented in the list, for they are responsible for no fewer than sixty-six nominations. This state of things Is no doubt one of the fruits of the entente cortliale. Coming to the British entries it will be seen that His Majesty has taken four nominations, one of which is for DorandO, a colt by Cyllene out of Nadeltla. This youngster is the first Bring "produce of his dam, who was the last" of the offspring of Perdita Hi In 1904 Nadejda slipped twins to Worcester, in 1905 and 1900 she was barren to Isinglass and Flying Fox, and In 1907 she had a dead foal by Orme. It looks as though Cyllene has indeed brought luck to the king. M. E: Blanc has entered eight, one of which is a colt bv Zinfamlel, named Shetland.. It is, indeed, satisfactory to find the name: of Zinfanilel cropping up several times In the list. Another of M. Blancs is Batalllenr, a brother to Jardy. and sr third a colt bv Persimmon out of Lady Burgoyne, which lie bought from the1 late Duke of Devonshire for 0:000 . when she Was carrying this; yearling. Sir Ernest Cnssel has entered Flairs first-born. PorphyriO, for which he gave 7,500, and Rlbert Mills Romeo, by Flying For out of Glare, which cost him 0,500 at the sale of Sir Daniel Coopers yearlings. The Shftlmere contingent - includes a colt by John o Gaunt out of Hacklers Pride, and the chestnut "colt by Cyllene out of Mountain Daisy, which, together with his dam. was purchased by Sir Tatton Sykes from J. B. Wood, last August. Richard Croker has nominated the tine, halfrbrother, by Clonmell. to Orby and Rhodora: Lord Derbys trio includes Bridge of ;AIlan," brother to Bridge of Canuy: one of J. B. -Joels five is Royal Scot, by Persimmon ont of Our Lassie; E. Kennedy has named four Symingtons, one of them a half-brother to Dark Ronald; Major Loder, a half-sister by Desmond to Pretty Polly: K. F. Sehiff the half-sister to Perola Loelia. for which he gave 0,500 recently; A. B. Walker a brother -to Llangwnt, named Rhosmarket; Sir John Thnrsby a half-sister, by John o Gaunt, to Yellow Slave, and so on. Sir John Robinson is the biggest subscriber, fbr he has entered no fewer than thirteen of the colts he is sending to the Doncaster sales. "-.".. Mr. Croker is so dissatisfied with the manner in which his horses have been weighted, this season that he has decided not-to retain any animals for handicaps and announces that at the approaching Dublin Horse Show sales he will sell without reserve Queen of Peace. Lesina, Langford. Latlkin and a few others. That Bayardo has now the same superiority he had over all rivals of his age last; year there is no doubt, and the St. Leger is merely a matter of his going well to the post for him to win it. But for refusing to feed properly all the spring, and also hating the hard ground, Bayardo would never have been beaten. Among the sires that will be at the service of British breeders next season are the brothers, Wil-1 Ham Rufus and Hpnry the First. They were bred bv and still belong to Mr. Musker. but during the hist three years they have been on the continent William at the Kisber Stud iii Hungary and Henry at the Haras tlAincourt. the establishment of Monsieur A. Pierron, at Mantes? France.
