In her last race she was cut down slightly, but has fully recovered. "I have been offered ,500 for her." said her owner, "but 0,000 will buy her and no less. Some folks think si:- will not stay a long route. I wish all the stakes :hjs spring were five and ■ half far-longs or three quarters, and she would prove to tile doubtful that she not only has speed, but is game and can stay a long route. "In the race in which she beat Ophelia, breaking a track record, she ran on lliree plates, the fourth having l«--ii torn off. That is a pretty fair recom-iiiemhilioii Tor gauieiiess. If I cant _et 1. KID for her. I am paiM to keep her. for I know she will win that much iu stake:, probably before we get to Saratoga."
