EQUINE QUEENS AT KINGSTON FARM Marian Hood and Her Prince Palatine Filly There and in Thriving Condition. By T. B. Cromwell. Lexington, Ky., September 4. In the course of comment a few days ago, the writer made the mistake of saying that Marian Hood dam of A. K. Maeombers Kentucky Oaks winner, Sunbonuet, which was purchased by Messrs. Corrigan and McKinney for the Wifkliffe Stud, is still in England. She isnt. She is right here in the Blue Grass, receiving the best of care and attention in a fine paddock on Kingston Farm under the eyes of Miss Elizabeth Daingerficld. Marian Hood is a member of Bruce Lowes No. 3 family and is every inch a queen. It was the writers privilege to see her yesterday and with her her daughter by Prince Palatine, which won over 80,000 in stakes in England, now is in great request as a sire, his fee having been ,000. Barring the mulish appearance of her hoofs and their uneveness, due probably to a rough trip overseas, this suckling is a magnificent filly. She has good bone and excellent conformation. She is smart and her disposition is good. Altogether, she is a highly attractive little miss and would, as the veteran Green B. Morris said of the black colt by Darley Dale Saudry which Walter M. Jeffords bought out of the J. O. Keene sale of yearlings at Saratoga, "make a stable of race horses" for many a man. Marian Hood was mated last spring with Sunstar, the sire of Sunbonnet, but it is yet to be determined whether she is in foal. For the sake of the owners who were willing to so enrich the thoroughbred blood on this side of the Atlantic, it is devoutly to be hoped that she is in foal and that there shall be forthcoming a stallion worthy of the blood in his veins. Magnificent "Weanling Colt by Colin, Aside from this daughter of Prince Palatine Marian Hood, the weanling most to be admired of the twenty-five or so at Kingston Farm is the brown sou of the mighty Colin Itubia Granda dam of Ultima Tliule, which Miss Daingerfield maintains is the best colt in the Corrigan string. He is a magnificient colt. The weanling by Disguise Tamanamass, is a chestnut colt of fine proportions and should make a nice horse. The same may be said of the brother to The Spinner, a chestnut colt by Thomas Mona-hans Textile Miss Hudson, the venerable daughter of Hanover Shadow Dance, by Falsetto, which was saved by Miss Jay Daingerf ields tender heart and generosity from the fate of an equine meniel. Still another more than ordinarily attractive colt is the brown son of Disguise Pictons Pride, a good-looking English mare by Picton. The mares and foals at Kingston Farm are all in good health and their coats, Avhile sunburned, are in exceptionally good condition for this season of the year. Miss Daingerficld is an excellent feeder and the horses under her management always give evidence of this fact.
