August Belmont has given orders to have twenty of his thoroughbred yearlings shipped from the Nursery Stud to Saratoga. Johnson and Crosthwaite report the death of the two-year-old Ed Morrow, by Bon Brush Lass of Wheatly. The colt had shown some good trials and was promising. In the Mount Vernon Handicap at Empire City, Pleione, by permission of the stewards, wore blinkers. She seemed to be wholly unaccustomed to them and, being caught in the barrier, was as good as left at the post. John L. Paul, the veteran trainer, dted at his home on Pemberton avenue, Lexington, Ky., Monday night, July 21, after an illness of long standing. He was sixty-eight years old. His three sons are well known upon the turf.
