Dinna Ken and the yearling colts by Voter, Broomstick and The Scribe In the Kohler string under Mr. llildreths care, are doing famously since going into retirement for the winter season. The older horses in the collection are getting a daily gallop of four miles. The open weather has given every opportunity to send them along smartly, and they will Ih; kept at such exercise as long as thf weather permits. A straw ride that affords good footing has been laid under the long enclosed shed and this will be used during inclement spells. Mr. llildreths plater is making a large number of racing plates without toes or calks, such as are used on the turf courses of England, which is, of course, another indication of the preparations for the shipment of Mr. Kohlors horses abroad.
