JAMES BUTLERS PROMISING YEARLINGS. New York, November 13. With a bunch of yearling brothers and sisters to such horses as Ballot. Sweep, Suffragist, Besom, Iron Mask, Celt and Stinger romping over the meadows of East View Farm in Westchester Comity, James Butler contemplates the season of 1914 with complacency.

Keenes famous Castletou 6nil, and it has not happened for ten or fifteen years that Castleton failed in a season to send urst-elass horses to the American races. The yearlings, thirty in number, are in charge of It. C. BensOn, a man well known the country over as a skillful handler of both trotters and runners. Mr. Butler, who has known Mr. Benson for years, Kent for him at Juarez last spring as soon as he de-eid-d to buy the Keene yearlings and Mr. Benson is in supreme charge of the outfit.
