ARISTOCRATS FROM ABROAD RICHLY BRED FRENCH THOROUGHBREDS AMONG LATEST ARRIVALS. Further Particulars of Important Shipment Just Arrived at New York from Across the Atlantic List of Widener Consignment. New York, November 15. The thoroughbreds brought over from England on the Manchuria have been unloaded and transferred to the various localities to which they were consigned. Naturally enough, much of the interest in this consignment centered in the valuable shipment of yearlings which trainer Thomas AVelsh brought over for J. E. AVidener, although the seven brought over for John Sanford, which proved to be a particularly fine band, were not neglected. In fact, the Sanford yearlings shipped wonderfully well, especially in view of the long twenty-one day voyage, which had been made from France by way of London. Relatively the AVidener yearlings had not shipped as well as some of the others, although all of them looked bright and in perfect health, if a trifle low in flesh. Trainer AAelsh said that he saw some good racing while he was abroad, and that he believed the prices for really good yearlings were as strong as ever, both in England and in France. The list o the AVidener yearlings is as follows: Alaric, b. c, by Arerwood- son of Grey Plume and Kildonan, out of Porte Maillot, by Guarde Feu. Sharrier, ch. c, by Arerwood Reckless, by Galli-nule.
