I have five horses to bring here, all two-year-olds. Three of them are winners, Governor Cray. Karl SenfV and County Tax. while the other two are Sweet Owen, a bay colt by Bridgowater — Uosemae. and Now Idea, a hay Buy by Scmpronius — Peavino. A bay tilly by Alloway — Helen Thomas. I have turned out until next season. She may make a useful three-yeur-old. though she was not much as a two-year-old this season. Governor Gray summered in grand form for me and will race well this fall. I noani-liated him for the Autumn Stakes and the Iroquois and Frank Fchr Handicaps, for all ages, over considerable distances of ground. I never thought it hurt a two-year-old to run in such races in the fall of the year. A youngster gets in with a big pull in lie weights and he is Hearing his three-year-old age in October* and November. I now have a lightweight jockey in Morgan, a boy who rode around Newport and other Kentucky tracks about fifteen years ago. He is thirty years old now. but can ride as well as in his younger days. I have not liought a yearling this season and wont buy any at the fall sales. 1 intend to race dear through the l.atonia meeting and may turn out my horses in November. If I try he winter game with any of my string I will go to Juarez."
