Joseph Caunuu is uu ex- ceplton: on die contrary, he has had more than a lull allowance. Nevertheless, there come good times 111 then- turn, and though he had to wail until late in the season the silver lining showed itself when Adam Bede scored his double event for I.. Winan-in 1 he Bake of York Stake- .,,,,1 the Cambridge-hire. Meanwhile the two •••racks- in the Lordship string could not be wound up to concert pitch for theii various engagements owing to weakness iu one leg or another, and the season was drawn blank as far as concerned both Sir Martin and McrcnthX and even had it been otherwise it would seem that their merits have been overestimated in each instance by |h" handicappers. In spite of all the skill which has been exercised iu the direction of veterinary treatment it is pretty crtain that they must con tiuue to be a source of anxiety to heir trainer, clever as he has shown liim-elf in ii„. treatment Of dicky legs, hut should the worst come to the worst both these horses should compensate bv their future success .at the stud. Sir Martin, of American breed, is a great, big. upstanding sou ,,f Ogdea and I.alv Sterling, of rare power ami quality, and unqnestion aMy pos-cs-ed of high class racing merit, and when he has let down and tilled out to the huge frame cannot fail to make up into a grand looking stallion of quality, but I understand that he is to be trailed again during the coming season, ami if all goes well with him he should unit active service on the turl with honor. From the limited number of a few years ago Mr. Winatis racing string has grown to considerable proportions, there being no fewer than thirty horse with which to race the approaching campaign. Most o| these have ben Imitorted from the United States, the exception being Iofs Pride. Miaehead. I,ad, Eileen, Templar. Leesou Iark. Arbalest. Prince Hal. and Sandhurst. Several of these are undergoing ;: course of hurdle practice, a-, "or example, Bots Pride. Lady Bileea. Leesou Iark, and Templar, and to the-.- may be added Dalmatian, Joldbeater. Sir Colin, and Dainty Prince. Among them are lomc well grown, gooij looking horses, and it will be -fringe if some of them do not make their mark over the -tick-. Mr. Winaii- has seven twovear olds p, g . en with, two of which arc en route from America, namely.
