Carman has arrived at New York from Toronto, but will shortly return to participate further in racing on the Canadian circuit. Perthshire, the eight-year-old son of Caughnawaga and Perth, has seen the last of his racing days. He pulled up so lame in a recent start at Jamaica that he will be retired. He is a Sanford-bred stallion and should prove useful for stud duty. The following ruling was made by the judges and stewards at Tijuana, May 20: "Mai Doyle, owner of Finnigan. Wnxcmall and Valodolid. has lieen ordered away from the course with his horses. Doyle, while in a critical mood, visited the judges and made a number of insinuations and veiled charges which he refused to substantiate. In consequence, he was told to betake himself elsewhere." Mont Plane, in the stable of George W. Wing-filed, is accounted the most promising two-year-old at Tijuana. He is a son of Grey Leg that was thrown in for good measure when Mr. Wing-fields representative made some important purchases in- England last year. The Tijuana division of the Wingfield stalde is in the hands of Walter S. Heath, who formerly trained for Charles W. Clark.
