Two of the youngsters died on the way across and a third died shottly after reaching the farm. Two others at play ran together and were permanently crippled, but all the rest did well. Early this morning they were Joaded into two cars and started for Saratoga to be sold August 9. Keene confirmed the report that lie had insured the colts in England for what they cost plus the expense of their voyage over last winter and that a couple of days ago he had placed an additional .0,000 on them and the four home-bred colts, one a half-brother to Manager Waite, he sent with them.

The bay filly by Froglegs Winneeook, lias a trim appearance, while about the busiest little miss in the entire collection is the bay filly by Day Comet The Cat.
