"I have eight colts and four fillies," said 3Ir. Herz, "all by Short Grass, and a colt by Spanish Prince. The Short Grass 3Iarion Hood colt is decidedly the pick of the hand. That is not only my opinion, but most of all horsemen who have seen him." S. C. Hildreth is a little undecided whether he will go to Laurel or stay here for the Jamaica meeting. "I have no mud horses," said Hildreth, "and if it should be bad weather in 3Iarylaud, like we had two years ago, it would put me out of business.
