.R. T. WILSONS STRING OF YEARLINGS. Npw York, October 27. Fourteen horses, owned by Richard T. Wilson, president of the Saratoga Association, hnvc arrived at Belmont Park from Saratoga. Of the number eight are yearlings. In the older division is that sterling winner, Olamba.a. The big chestnut son of Ornus Blue and White goes into winter quarters iu fine fettle. It is doubtful if he ever tipped the scales at a higher mark than at present. Among the two-year-olds are some that have never faced the starter. The yearliugs are a cracking good looking set. In addition to being relatives to high class horses, they have the stamp of individuality and are particularly robust. In other years Mr. Wilsons string of youngsters averaged about twenty. This seasons lot arc less in numlers but they are more promising taken collectively. Patrick Dwyer, foreman of tho establishment, broke aud tried the yearlings over the "Oklahoma" course adjoining old Horse Haven. The moves of Mr. Wilsons yearlings were uniform. Considerable interest will be paid to next years performances of one handsome colt. He is by Montfort Madchwi, and was foaled at John Hynes farm in Stamford. Ct. The Monfort colt resembles his sire in every line and color. He is a chestnut of a decidedly rugged type. Broomstick is the sire of -a filly that has the earmarks of a clinker. She is out of tho Futuritv winner LAlouotte and possesses muscular quarters that are remindful of the Bonnie Scotlands. A chestnut daughter of Disguise Witchcraft has attracted the attention of no less an expert than Dr. Robert W. McCully. She Is a perfectly gaitod filly and has the substance to carry her speed over a route. As Mr. Wilson Is generous iu his nominations to important stake events it is safe to assume that the Witchcraft filly will bear his popular colors in races of this character. A sister to Naushon is unlike her biothor in color only. She can run fast, aud will probably bo one of the first to come to band early. Delhi is the sire of a likely-looking bay filly, whose dam is Hanoana. The string of yearlings is made up as follows: Chestnut colt, by Yankee Court Plaster brother to Penobscot. Chestnut colt, by Monfort Madchen. Bay filly, by Yankee Royal Gun sister to Naushon. Chestnut filly, by Disguise Witchcraft. Bay filly, by Yankee Dixie Queen. Bay gelding, by Yankee Dcviltree.
