WILL WATCH MILLER TWO-YEAR-OLDS. Five Good-Lookinsr Youngsters Expected to Sport Silks for the Kentucky Horseman. New York, December 15. W. B. Miller, the Kentucky turfman, who owns Uncle, one of the most successful of present-day sires, has five vearlings in charge of trainer W. II. Karrick, whose future is regarded as unusually promising, and, on account of the good judgment displayed by Mr. Miller in his former breeding operations, the showing of these youngsters in next seasons races will be watched with a great deal of interest. Possiblv the most impressive looking of them is Rifle, a chestnut colt by Uncle Fleur do Marie. Another is Kenuecctt, a dark bay by Ogden Last Cherry. Wince is a bay filly by Peter Quince Winifred A. Two other bay fillies rone named Frostilla and another named Midnight, make up the youthful band which will carry Mr. Millers colors next season. Mr. Miller, whose knowledge of thoroughbred pedigrees was indicated by Uncles quality when the latter sired two such winners as Old Rosebud and Little Nephew in one season, has a liking for the Maggie B. 15. strain, Maggie B. B. being the third dam in Uncles pedigree strain, and also the blood of Ilimyar, and has selected his broodmares largely with those prejudices in view. W. H. Karrick has altogether forty-seven thoroughbreds housed in his two big bams at Grave-send for the winter, among them the three imported three-year-olds from France that are trained by Charles F. Hill.
