THOMAS F. RYAN PLANNING TO RACE. Xew York, January 24. Thomas F. Ryan, the well-known financier, who has a large breeding establishment called Oak Ridge Farm near Lynchburg, Va.. has made several nominations for important stakes, including the Futurity. For the Juvenile Stakes, to be run at the Belmont Park spring meeting this" year, Mr. Ryan has entered a chestnut lilly named Wonderwhy, by Sempronlus Fancy Bird: a chestnut gelding, Daiugerfleld, by Dolce Far Nlente Cherry Wild, and a chestnut filly, Kate Sterling, .by Woolsthorpe Sechclsea. Messrs. James It. Keene and Hary Payne Whitney have each made only two nominations for the Juvenile. August Belmont. S. C. Hildrcth. B. l- Carman and It. T. Wilson are the heaviest nominators for all the stakes that have closed for this year. Grant Hugh Browne, who raced Sewell, John M. P., Theyre Off, King Cobalt and other fast horses on the New York and1 Canadian courses during the past few years,. will have his white with brown polka dots lorne by half a dozen home-bred two-year-olds this season. Mr. Brownes establishment in Goshen. X. Y.. is ideal in every particular for raising thoroughbreds and he hopes this batch of youngsters will prove worth while. King Cobalt will be retired to the Brownleigh Park Stud when his usefulness is over in racing. King Cobalt is fashionably bred on both sides, and Mr. Browne intends to purchase some mares that are bred on lines to produce distance runners. The three-year-old Handspring filly. Lady Rosalie, owned by Mr. Browne, has been shipped from Belmont Park to Goshen. She was a big, overgrown filly last season and. although she worked brilliantly at Saratoga, she did not graduate from the maiden class. Should she show promise in the coming spring trials Mr. Browne will continue to keep her in training. It not, she will join the other matrons at the farm.
