A complete list is as follows: Heretic, eh. c. by Hastings Hoopsticks. Whist, br. c. by Singleton Wood-nymph.

In the absence of trainer John Whalen. the foreman, Louis Feustel. has had charge of the breaking and developing of the yearlings. Trainer Cornelius Mack, who is handling the yearlings purchased by various owners for Kimball Patterson to campaign next season, is satisfied with the prospects of developing some useful material. In the lot which is stabled at the Belmont course are fifteen sous and daughters of leading sires. The I Nursery Stud of August Belmont is represented by a chestnut fillv by Hastings ami a bay filly by Octagon. Both have filled out wonderfully since the dav they left the sales ring. Two colts, one a bay and the wther a chestnut, are by the English sire. Ornus. These eolts move with a lot of dash in their gallops and are almost sure to come to hand early. Hamburg is the sire of a bay colt that bears a strong resemblance to his daddy. A bay colt and a chestnut lilly by Richard T. Wilson. Jr.s sire, Alexican, are above the average. The latter has all the earmarks of a real runner and is a bay fillv of good action, running close to the ground and straight as a die. She has more size limn IMexoana. the fastest lilly in training by the same sire. Sir Dixon. Stalwart. Golden Maxim. In-goblsbv. Peep oDay and Sempronius have sired colts and lillies that make up the balance of the Patterson string of juveniles. The majority or them have breezed quarters in the vicinity of 27. Don Diego, the big chestnut gelding by Henry of Navarre Bella-Donna, is taking the cart treatment. Trainer John Whalen left Don Diego at Belmont Park when he shipped the Belmont horses to Sara toga. The big horse wintered well at Garnet, and in the spring stood the training ordeal until within a week of a race, when he went wrong in a trial.
