niiy extent During the spring and summer rac ¬ ing campaign in this state this year Mr Humphrey picked un a carload of horses which he has shipped 1 Virginia and will develop into hunters uud jumpers He is a great admirer of this type cf horse and is a skilled gentleman rider through the field and In the chase Some of the horses lie se ¬ cured here may develop Into performers good enough to race at the hunt meetings In the cast next year Fre iueutly high class jumpers have developed from just such a lot as Mr Humphrey took from Ken ¬ tucky to Virginia recently He has been eager to ecure a horse to run in his colors in the Kentucky Endurance Stakes this fall but failing to discover anv performer lie could buy reasonably to run in his interest in tho big fourmile race he concluded to wait until another season to make a nomination in this event He was willing to enter Sir Catesby witli Lehans consent but the latter concluded he would not attempt to train that old performer to run such a distance the coming autumn He thinks Sir Catesby is good for too many races at an average distance In the next few months to knock him out in preparing him to go four miles milesWalter Walter P
