When racing flourished in Chicago, Harry Lyman was a familiar figure and well known as a painter of the portraits of many of the noted horses of that time. He lias recently painted two studies of Man o War that are well executed and well worth inspection. It is quite evident Mr. Lyman has lost none of the skill of his earlier days in the art of horse portraiture. W. G. Wilson has leased Hearts of Oak from Harry Giddiugs and lias been agalu schooling him through the field at Woodbine Park in preparation for the cross-country events to be decided there. Hearts of Oak has been, entered in the 0,000 Mauley Memorial Steeplechase, to be run at the Pimlico autumn meeting. This son of Bas-J setlaw has been in the stud for the past two years, where he gave promise of being a successful sire.
