ARISTOCRATIC HOPES OF THE FUTURE. Splendid Young Thoroughbreds Now in the Paddocks at Wickliffe Stud Farm. Lexington, Ky., August 5. Messrs. Corrignn and McKinney, proprietors of the Wickliffe Stud of thoroughbred horses domiciled luxuriously in equine palaces on beautiful Kingston Farm under the excellent management of Miss Elizabeth Dainger-field, have not indicated when their yearlings will be broken nor have they announced at which track they will get their first lessons, but it may be definitely set down that this years crop is more promising than was that of last year, with which W. C. Clancy encountered so many difficulties in preparing at Churchill Downs. The Wickliffe Stud yearlings number twelve colts and fourteen fillies and they are here listed in the order in which they were shown to the writer and another visitor at Kingston Farm this week: Bay colt by Elkhorn Rosegnrland. by Boulevard.

Chestnut filly by Colin Torpenhow, by Torpoint. Bay filly by Disguise Searchlight, by Kingston. Gray filly by Roi Herode Nicola, by Symington English. Aside from a few minor ailments and cuts and scars, these youngsters have received from their rompiiigs in the paddocks, they are all in good bodily condition and they are apparently as healthy as horses can be. The brown colt by Delhi Runaway Girl is a magnificent horse and looks as if he would make a bold and rapid runner. Miss Daingerfield said that he was the colt most admired by trainer James Rowe. The brown colt by Sweep Kin Rose, which Miss Daingerfield bought at the Stone and Rucker dispersal last fall, is a racy-looking fellow. The half-brother to Luke McLuke is much larger than was his illustrious kinsman at the same age. The Ultimus Rubia Granda colt is a solid, sensible animal, which gives one an idea that he will wear well in racing. The chestnut colt by Delhi Gingham is quite attractive. The Ormondale Idle Tale colt is immense and a good looker. The McGee Divination colt is smooth and well proportioned. The half-brother to Ghetto Girl looks as if he may make good. The pick of the fillies probably is the sister to Chancery that is for racing purposes. If, however, a selection for breeding purposes were undertaken the choice of the majority undoubtedly would be the daughter of Rid Herode Nicola, by Symington Vahren dam of The Tetrarch. This filly almost u sister to the wonderfully-fast, and unbeaten gray colt has been only a short while at Kingston Farm and shows the effect of her traveling from Ireland to England, then to Kentucky. She appears to have a good disposition, but "there is nothing showy about her, unless it be her head. She is not a pronounced gray, though she may so develop when she is rid of sunburn. She has plenty of size, but possesses an awkward way of standing which comes chiefly from the fact that she toes out behind. The bay filly by Colin Noonday is small, but there is an immense amount of quality about her. The half-sister to Skiles Knob is a good individual and, as Miss Daingerfield remarked, "is bred to be greater than Broomstick." but, of course, it remains to be seen if she will be. The daughter of Ultimus Banorella is a sensible-looking filly of pleasing conformation. The handsomest of the English-bred ones is the daughter of Javelin Scrubwood. Torpenhows daughter by Colin is a good-looking miss. The Cicero Colna filly is neatly, though lightly made, as is the daughter of Home Rule. Including the bay lilly by The White Knight, out of Lady Ecliline. by Cyllene, which arrived a few days ago from England at the side of her dam, there are thirty sucklings at Kingston Farm and they are. the disparity in ages considered, an even collection of youngsters which no doubt will afford their owners and the faithful woman who is directing their daily existence many hours of pleasure. It is exceedingly diflicult to make a choice of these foals, but the chestnut colt by Ultimus Noonday, although he came; later than many of the others, a year hence will probably rank as the star of the b;md. Ho is simply a corker. That word is expressive enough to convey to the American turfman just what he is. The brown colt by Colin Divination will surely make his mark in racing. The brother to Dominant, by Delhi Dominoes, is a splendidly muscled, good headed, big boned, quick actioned colt. The chestnut colt by Hippodrome Dreaming sister to Trance is a magnificent big colt. Of the fillies the choice appears to be the sister to Luke McLuke, by Ultimus Midge. A close second to her is the chestnut daughter of Ultimus Runaway Girl, and next comes the bay lilly by Colin Searchlight. Other sucklings of more than ordinary quality in the collection are the bay filly by Hurst Park Domino Noire, which unquestionably justifies the payment of ,500 which was made for the marc when she was carrying this foal last fall; the bay colt by Hippodrome Tripping; the black Ally by Disguise Playmate; the chestnut colt by Disguise Grand Prize; the bay colt by Disguise Rubia Granda; the bay colt by Assagai Tzarina; the bay colt by Ultimus Umbra; the brown colt by Delhi Oasis, and these English-bred ones: Chestnut filly, by Javelin Plain Jane; brown colt, by Javelin Torpenhow; black colt, by Light Brigade the stallion recently imported by Hon. Johnson N. Camden Colan, and the chestnut Ally, by Fitzgrafton Collar of Roses, by Collar. There are fifty-six serviceable mures in the stud, and about a dozen old matrons which are pensioners on the bounty and good-heartedness of the owners who bought them at the dispersal of the James R. Keene stud, knowing that they would prove nonproductive. In the field with the old marcs is Ghetto Girl, sent home for a rest. The five stallions on the farm are Ultimus, Colin, Disguise, Delhi and Hippodrome. The latter was a Continued on second page. ARISTOCRATIC HOPES OF THE FUTURE. Continued from first page. sick horse last winter, but he is rounding to again, though his sickness left him with the heaves. Colin is as handsome as a picture and is doing well, likewise old Disguise and Delhi. Ultimus lias been a little off his feed lately, but there is nothing serious the matter with him. Since the acquirement by lease from John Coleman of some three hundred acres additional of blue grass pasture and woodlands, a number of improvements have been made in the way of fences and barns. Tins place was " pretty enough when Charles Hill managed it for Clarence H. Mackay, but Miss Daingerfield has made it more so. In the matter of horse knowledge this wplcndid woman is truly her fathers daughter and the horsemen of the blue grass are hoping that the Corrigan and McKinney colts will make good and sustain the judgment of their owners in placing her in charge of their establishment.
