AVith the two-year-olds there are about sixteen horses at the pretty training place, many of which are winners. What the stable lacked was a capable jockey. W. Boss Adams "Eddie Boss" has charge of the horses, about which Tod Sloan- has given advice. Sloan is residing in Brussels. The amounts to be won in stakes iu tho little kingdom are not large, but with lwokmakers making a fairly strong "ring" it is possible to make racing pay, for a stable can be run less expensively than in other countries. Flat racing begins in Brussels March 15 and continues almost daily until November 15, With the two months intermission fit Osteud. Mi. Myers, who leaves for Europe next Saturday, is very keen on racing and is especially partial to Brussels and Osteud.
