JONES YEARLINGS TO WINTER AT LOUISVILLE Golden Maxim Weanlings of Promise at Waldeck Farm Kathleens Sterling Performances. Latonia, Ky., October 9. There will be much of interest during the coming weeks racing at Latonia, as during the next few days many of the stars that are quartered at this course will meet in stirring turf battles. The week will round out next Saturday witli the running of the Fort Thomas Stakes. It has always brought one of the best fields of youngsters of the Kentucky racing season and this is sure to be repeated again next Saturday. For the first time Ben A. Jones, of Parncll, Mo., will winter his big band of yearlings in Kentucky, lie having shipped recently to Douglas Park race track seventeen head of these youngsters and the two-year-old Tangoing, a maiden filly by Harrigan out of the speedy mare Dandy Dancer. Jones anticipates disposing of some of the members of his yearling string in Kentucky this fall and coming winter, but they will only be sold privately. He intends in the next few weeks to give them their final yearling trials. They are all well broken and have tliis early been speedy quarters. The only one he has yet named is the bay filly by Waldo SevonfuU, and she will be raced under the name of Alphia Ray. The others are: Chestnut colt by Harrigan Willie T., by Albert. Chestnut colt by Harrigan Day Peep, by Her-mcnee. Bay colt by Harrigan Pickaninny, by Cesnriun. Chestnut filly by Harrigan Sharp, by The Sharper.

Those of this band that Jones does not dispose of, which include the filly Alpliia Ray, he will race next year in the two-year-old stake races on the Kentucky tracks. C. L. Hamilton has bought of C. C. Van Meter for the ,000 the Kentucky Oaks winner. Cream, now in foal to Jack Atktn and her chestnut colt, now a weanling, by The Manager. It is understood that Hamilton secured Cream and her weanling colt for R. T. Wilson, the owner of Olambala and the hitters great two-year-old son Campfire. Cream has been at the AValdeck Farm of Thomas M. Murphy, near Louisville, and was shipped from there to Lexington a few days ago. Trainer Kay Spence has turned Red Cloud out at AValdeck Farm and trainer J. F. Schorr lias also turned Ellison out at the same place. After the close of the Latonia meeting botli of these horses will be taken up for winter racing, Schorr taking Ellison with his other horses to New Orleans and Spence taking Red Cloud with the rest of his stable to the Jockey Club Juarez track. Mr. Murphy has turned out his two good racers, Billows and Old Miss, for the winter at Waldeck Farm. Billows was recently fired. Botli of these marcs will be trained for Mr. Murphy by Joe Imensetter next year and Old Miss will be entered in the Ashland and Kentucky Oaks races. Mr. Murphy has ten weanlings at Waldeck Farm this fall. They are as follows: Bay colt by Golden Maxim Brightstone, by Deutschland. Bay colt by Golden Maxim Mary Bodiue dam of Jacoba, by Star Shoot. Bay colt by Golden Maxim Little Nell, by Ceder-strome. Bay colt by Golden Maxim Lilly Mac, by Plaudit. Bay filly by Peep oDay Gold of Opliir, by Ben Brush. Bay filly by Golden Maxim Annul, by Ilimyar. Chestnut filly by Golden Maxim Miss O., by Florist. Bay filly by Golden Maxim Lady Lexington, by Ben Brush. Bay filly by Golden Maxim Evelyn Doris, by Ben Brush. Chestnut filly by Golden Maxim Diamonds and Rubies, by Ornament. He intends to dispose of all these youngsters when they are yearlings next year with the exception of the filly out of Lady Lexington, a half-sister to Old Miss, which he proposes to race and keep as a broodmare. It is propable that George J. Longs great mare Kathleen performed a feat at Churchill Downs last week when she picked up 124 pounds and defeated a band of the best sprinters now racing in Kentucky, that was never before duplicated by a three-year-old lilly. The writer can recall no lilly that ever raced at this age in Kentucky that did what Kathleen accomplished hist Tuesday. In this race she almost stumbled to her knees as the barrier was raised and it was fully three-eighths before she actually got fully in her stride. She then came fast in the stretch and wore the leaders down, winning the handicap going away from Bringliurst. She is probably as good a looking filly as has been stripped in America for many years, the nearest approach to her being II. P. Whitneys Kentucky Derby winner, Regret, which is a mare molded on a bit different line. Horsemen are now of the opinion, that trained for any long-distance race, Kathleen would be as invincible as she is at present over sprinting courses. She is unbeaten since she left Saratoga and it is the general opinion that she was far from herself when she raced at the Spa last summer.
