Mr. Grefer ai quired her out of the Young Can- _ Piatt consignment to a sale in Ken-tucky last fall for 7S and thinks he may have a 15 ikk » two-year-old in the youngster. He is richly enough bred, as on his sin- side he comes from the » Hanover line, while his dam is a most fashionably * bred daughter of the great Ben Brush. Weyanoke a coll bred at the Bashford Manor 1 Farm of Kentucky State Racing Commissioner George J Long, is cue of the most improved three-rear-oids racing at Juan/.. This son ol sir Huon = belongs to T Carroll, one of the younger set of trainers, has a fiue turn of speed and finishes his ruccs gamely and. moreover, has shown a disposition -to carry weight well.

Deavenport will enter Irish Gentleman for : all the important handicaps in Kentneky this spring ami will give that son of McGee another chance to win turf honors of high degree in the blue gras-, land lllis veal. Irish Gentleman has raced w"!l hen and is apparently at home either at sprinting ..I- over a fairly long distance if ground. He ii.is been racing at the Juarez track this season as his dam. The Lady, raced oxer the Chicago courses In her best davs. which made it possible for her 10 I retire to tin- stud with a record of forty seven races won. Irish Gentleman had much bad rating luck in Kentucky last fall and was nearly put out ol commission when In- fell after running away at Churchill Downs, when jockey B. Slide was UB- seated by the horse stumbling with him at the peat. He has grown and spread out greatly during the past winter. He is easily in the first tlighi of I handicap horses at Juarez this season. I The California turfman. C. V.
