MAN G? WARS STUD CAREER Soon to Go to the Hinata Stud in Kentucky-Golden Broom Also Is to Be Retired. XF.W YOKK. N. Y., December i!.- There is naturally much interest in the stud career of the champion Man o War. which will be shipped to his new homo in Kentucky about January 1. He will be consigned to Miss Klizabetb Daingcrfield, whose home, Ilnylamts, adjoins Hinata Farm, which she lias leased for a term .f years. It is at Hinata that Man o War will bo kept, nlcng with Golden Hroom. the latter the property or Mrs. Walter M. Jeffords, who paid 7.flG for tin" son of Sweeper Zuun. by Hamburg, as a yearling a-t Saratoga in tin; summer of ISMS. Last summer Mr. Kiddle, in discussing the future of Man War spoke as though he would permit the outside public to patronize the horse when he went to the stud, but this idea was abandoned in the autumn, though many of the leading breeders of the Cnited States were eager to send their best mares to him. The present iiitentii.it is to keep him as a private sire. With this end in view, an order was given to William Allison, the English expert, to buy a number of mares in the ISritish market win so blood would nick with that of the great son of Fair Play. Among those selected is P.atanoca. by Hoi Herode Pink Clover, by Melton. She is a four-yo:ir-old and a half-.-dstcr to Gowa:i. the winner of the Grand Prize of Itrazii in IMS. She cost 5,000. Another is the seven-year-old Lmly Comfey. by itoi Ilerode Shmit. by Perigord. This mare is a "half-sister to Caligula, the winner of this years St. Leger, which is by The Totrareh. Lady Comfeys price at Newmarket was .?4,L."i0. Hnlhing Girl, a five-year-old sister 1o W. K. Coes Over There, disqualified Tor the Kealization of 1!M!. is another. She is by Spearmint Summer" Girl, by Sundridge. The four-year-old Santisslma, by St. Angelo Duasanta. by St. Frusquin. is another. The third dam of this mare is the great mare St. Marguerite, by Hermit, which was second dam of Hook Sand. Colette, by Collar Disdain II.. by Hanover, is another young mare that will go to the court of the best horse the American turf has ever known. The American-bred Miss Starlight, by Watercress - -i5jmiK:, tiy -re -imr. t- nm mwttwr. andu u a sister to" Hessian, the sire of Hoots, which was bought by the Keiiiount Service of tin- federal government recently. It is known that in addition to the alKive a mare by Uayardo was secured, but her identity is beclouded, though it is surmised that she is Gamarda, by Gallinule Game Hen. It is probable that Man o War will not be bred to more than twenty mares the coining season. Golden ISroom will also be limited. The latter horse was one of the great disappointments of the turf, as he showed in his work to lie the equal of Man War before leaving the farm in Maryland and again at tile Havre de Grace course. Those who have seen Man War recently say that he is fully 10" pounds -!ienvier than when he was making race track history last fall. 3 ,
