The Beardmore and Thorm liffc Stables platers have been given some useful work, bill mostly l,,;iK, slow gallops. Willi the arrival of the Seagram. Hcndrie and Brookdale stables this week and some more favorable weather and a better track, the railbirds should be rewarded vvith some smart trials. At present tar files are as much at sea as to the outcome of the race for the Bahama as tl.ey were last fall.

Ross C.ood.-rham in the King-; Plate, but he will be fitted by Harry .hidings, Jr., who has mci with i.iuch success as a trainer in recent years.
