-w y s; t s f a a c $ g t s j j i i j j c j t , t i MR. WHITNEYS UNLUCKY XW0-YEAR-0LD. The Fowling-piece Lady Hamburg colt in II. P. Whitneys Stable in England lias been singularly unlucky in his racing this year, having finished second iu five Important races for two-year-olds, and third in two niore. He has raced so well and is such a good looker that he has occupied the post of favorite in the majority of Mils races, but is still maiden. He was favorite at 7 to 4 for the. Leicester County Foal Slakes, of the net value of .,430 at Leicester October S, but could only finish second to the second choice Bethlehem. Concerning, the latter colt. I.bndoh Spotting Life of October 9 said: "Bethlehem is quite "The Tetrarch of the North. By the same sire as .Captain McCalmonts brilliant but ill-fated colt, he is the same color, if a little darker grav. and Is without the curious blotelies. Wlieli Mr. Rogersons well-grown son of Rol Ilerode came south to Ascot he met with defeat, just as he did when runiiity; against Torloisk at Liverpool. Excuses were made for hint upon these occasions, but yesterday he was able to vindicate himself by winning the rich Leicester Foal Stakes, albeit the performance was not without a blemish, as he hung a lot, just as he did in his two previous races. ,,. Like Pretty Polly. Bethlehem goes to the meetings attended by a hack. - The cob that traveled to Leicester with him yesterday is a curious flea-bitten gray, with rather remarkable wall eyes. Bethlehem and the hack appear to be great friends."
