Touibolos first start will be in the rich Preak-ness. to be decided at Pimlico May lo. Another horse of which great things are expected is the four-year-old Square Set. which has finished into a magnificent animal and which is expected to make his mark in the handicap division.

Americas premier rider, to ride Tombolo in any race in which a Macomber horse isnt taking part.

All sportsmen will regret to learn that Bernina. d-tm of" Tombolo. foaled to Polymelus last Friday n:or:iing and that the foal died shortly after. Polymelus is the sire of Honeywood, and one of the leading English sires. Great things were naturally e:;|iected of the result of the union with Bernina. bu* such is- the lottery of breeding and George Wiugfield is far too good a sportsman to cry over spilled milk. Bernina is by St. Serf — Miss Taylor. There are twelve of the Nevada Stock Farm thoroughbreds at present in training at the local track, in charge of George W. Berry, superintendent of the stock farm. They are as follows: The two-vear-olds Dutch Lady. Fireplace. Perplex. Ladysmith. Tabulator. Hipperdozer. Dora Starr. Dinah and Desert Rose; the three-year-olds Tickford and Divland. and the four-year -old If Coming. Divland and Dinah are owned by W. F. Echols, a local sportsman.

The stable riding will be done by jockeys Ira tiregorv and Arthur Aguayo. Trainer Berry has secured from Dr. P. E. Schwarts the contract of Gregory, a promising apprentice, and he will commence work 1 1 slay. . Aguayo is an old-time rider, who has worked for Berry before, notably when the latter had charge of liie horses of A. B. Spreckels.
