TWENTY-EIGHT WHITNEY WEANLINGS BY T. B. CROMWELL. LEXINGTON, Ky., November 8. Literally "knee deep In blue grass" at Harry Payne, Whitneys Kentucky branch of the Brookdale Stud on the Mays-ville pike one sunny morning this week the writer saw twenty-eight weanling thoroughbreds and not a scrubby, scrawny-looking one among them. They, as elsewhere in this section this year, seem better grown and more uniform than Is usual at this season In the lives of the baby racers." Pointing to a robust chestnut colt, the writer inquired ns to the breeding of him which had about him, aside from his striking individuality, an air of superiority such as betokens a racing prospect of the first class. "Thats the brother to Red Red Rose," replied Jimmy Haynes, who is in charge of the mares and their produce. "He is by Whisk Broom II. Cardamine, a mare brought over from Europe by Mr. Whitney, she being by Sir Archibald, dam the American mare Alster Cress, by Wutercress-T-Hamburg Belle, by Hamburg." Some pedigree thatr and tills fellow looks like he will race up to it when he comes into Jimmy Rowes hands. The best looking of the get of Broomstick is the bay colt, dam Starling, by Hamburg Bonnie Star I dam of Vega, Bonnie Witch, Bounie Broom and i Cresson, by Star Shoot. Starlings first is the j winner Stickling, also by Broomstick. Running him a close second in appearance, the chestnut filly from !. Folderol is an admirable daughter of Broomstick. Folderol is by Burgomaster Jinks,, by Albert. The brown colt by All Gold Rumpus resembles Damask. Rumpus is a daughter ofr Hamburg Hurley Burley, by Riley Helter Skelter, by the English sire Pell Mell. Another colt from a Hamburg mare that shows up to advantage is the chestnut son of Pennant Rose of Dawn, dam Poetess, by The Bard. A splendid filly is by Sweep Cafe-au- I Lait. a daughter of Meddler, which was in France" until last year. These seem to be "the tops," but, of course, there may be some among the twenty-two not mentioned that will outshine them on the track. One cannot always pick the winners at weaning time. - - . -
