No attempt will ever be made to train bim again. He -,... - to the staid ami what mares Mr. Schorr breeds l this year will be mated Willi him. Star Charter is a richly bred son of Star Sheet and with proper chances will, no doubt, make a successful sire. He was surely a great race horse, especially in his 1 four year-old form. Deter Clark, who makes the form chart at t Juarez. Dearer, Butte. Vancouver, and other western . tracks, has arrived here with Mrs. Clark for the • running of the Derby at rh.- Downs and will remain throughout the meeting of the New Loade-villo Jockey Club and take in the Kentucky Handi-[ cap at Douglas Park, on Saturday.

Some of the local turfmen are ,, wondering just boa good some of the fillies may . be i hat Beii-on has in hi- care, if it is true, as s baa been reported, that several of these fillies . were more promising than was Climber a- a yearling . la-t fall. Climber ha- won all of her four starts. P three of which were la -take-. Some time aga A. D. Steele had an idea that t Thomas Callaway might develop into a Derby Candl-e i. date of some pretentions.
