LORD R0SEBERYS HORSES OF THIS YEAR. Of his older horses. Lord Ros-bery has retained only the three year -old gelding by Torpoint out of Mauchline. which has yet to make acquaintance with a race course, and he is supported by six two-year-olds, namely, a bay colt by Fowlingpieee — Verve: a bay colt by Neil Cow — Mauchline: a bay colt by Lochryan — Turpitude: a bay filly by Santrv — Catacomb; and a bay filly by Rochryan — Oriole. Rut the racing resources of the popular hooped jacket do not end here. as. inclusive of seven two-year olds. Rord Rosebery has sixteen horses at Wey-bill under the charge of Frank Hartigan. who has been fortunate in his association with his colors, having won many races for them both on the flat and under National Hunt rules. Indeed, his training record since be abandoned the profession of Jockey has been truly remarkable, upward of seven hundred winners of all sorts and descriptions having been turned out from the Weyhill establishmi nt since he took ponessloa eleven years ago. True, he has not yet achieved the trainers ambition by turning out the winner of either the Derby or the Grand National, though he came near to it vv i I h Rlangwiii and Father Confessor, and as regards the . former horse, it is quite on the cards that if Maker had not been tied up with waiting orders and had greater confidence in his ability to stay the course. the jockey would have made more use of his i it. with the result that he might have won. for be was undoubtedly finishing faster than cither Signor-Inetta or Primer. Last years winners for Lord Rosebery included vaactnse, which, following In the successful footsteps of Chelaidr.v . won the One Thousand Guineas, Wrack. Watergmel, Politician. Nenuphar anil Iol-acre, all of which. I fancy I am not sure if Vau-cluse has gene to the stud have been drafted out of the service, and the seniors now remaining at Weyhill embrace Watorgruel. the doyen of the party, and the three-year olds The Hague, the coll by Ravardo Evadne. the colt by Neil GoW -Lnveite, the filly by Dark Ronald Samphire, the filly by Willonyx Chelandry. tin- fillv by Sun-star Montem. the gelding by Cicero Turpitude, and last, but not least. Beulouque, which, although a maiden four year -old. is pretty sure to earn brackets both on the flat and over hurdles.

That I.oni Boaeherjs interest in racing and breeding is as keen as ever, in spite of the troubled times, may be assumed bom the fact that his studs at Mcntniorc and The Durduns continue in full swing with the stallions Cicero. Neil Cow. Sailor Rail and Kcn-i 1. and thirty or more broodmares, and there are some fine yearlings coming on by Cicero. Reppo. Neil Cow. Santrv. Cylgad. Bwynford, FowUngpiece, Sunstar.
