G?EAT HORSES FOR AMERICA1, Prince Palatine, Brown Prince and Nassovian Among Valuable Cargo on the Steamer Michigan. The loifg overdue steamer Michigan has finally readied New York. It brought probably the most valuable cargo of thoroughbred horses ever imported to this country. In the shipment were the famous English sires Prince Palatine, the property of E. F. Simms, and Brown Prince, the property of a syndi- cate headed by Frederick Johnson. Brown Prince is a brother of Ambassador, already in this country, and the sire of Constancy and other good horses. Another one of the Michigans passengers was Nassovian, bred and owned by John Sanford and destined for service at Amsterdam, N. Y. Prince Palatine and Brown Prince, tif ter a rest of a few days at Belmont Park, will be taken to Kentucky. In addition to the sires there were also on the Michigan many valuable brood mares and yearlings, bought at a big price in England recently by John Sanford, Admiral Carey Grayson also had a consignment of brood mares and yearlings in the shipment.
