HOW THE YOUNGSTERS "SIZE UP/ Of roaree everyone is interested in the sons and daagbtera "f the leadlag rdre of tBSi, and well they may be. for seldom, if ever, have I seen a ■tore masculine well-grown, energetic or determined yount-ter than Olympias golden chestnut son. by Fait Play. More sjz,. than most he has a large star and vell defined tapering stripe. Thai is an eager, reetleea colt, orhich oetaaa folly conscious of !ns qaaHty. Tiailinga have I seen, not a fear, but in all candor I eaa say this one has few ei|itals and no superiors. Dragnets Diagram is lira a a en correct Itoeo, is bnafceewi iik»- and nna-culai and certain to train. An at tract ne. btgh-tailea oit. prrbagu a trifle sluillovv in his girth, la the Haute Kochc, brown, by r*eh" Play, and Moaetal brown, by Ilouiless. baa aoiaethJag of tie Bpeanaiat ahaat mm. As tor tht iUJee collectively I believe they ate imcii batter than the colts. Tile firt to line up «»« a pa by Hourbss — Bclvalc. It is amazing the leufcth Uourhs unri.irn. to his progeny. Cotn-atettd iuc particularly of the first fifteen to tin two brown daughters of Fait Play, the one from Hour Hand, by Book Sand, and fbe other from Violet Bay, ami also to Hourless blown daughter Amusement, which is from Atunitia. by Hasting*. She has. a wide blaze in her lace as has Irudeiy a filly of site and substance and brvil on the beat approved plan of ajatiag fit Simon onto Melbourne. The Hour Hand filly How Fair, which, except in ci lor. is i -s fair as fair can be. has sjz.e to recommend her and is a pleasing sight to see. It is such as these that will do still mole to dis sipate the rather false and fast -waning prejudice that has for so long existed against fillies for racing use. even in the face of the Futurity win of Step Lightly, the ever ready Careful and the performances ,,f Irudeiy. However. I suppose all ot you wish to know .something of champions rioter Mirabelle. Colored as is Man a War. a chestnut. | Mirabelle has in every way fulfilled her early promise, is of more smooth and perfect contour I than her illustrious brother. I found her unili--I niayed by the living motors, a peace with all the world, porbapo in contemplative expectation of raciaa lame to coie. A real filly in every way is Mirabelle. balanced to perfection, the running I hind legs cf the Fair Plays. It is treat lBCk that the beat of tie winners in the .fining years will be bred. Another of the highway seven which a deserving of special mention is the black aud all I black filly named Plack Hour, by Uoerleaa — Ballot 1 Bred, by Meddler— Beldame, by Detagag, aud */bl h I ruu on down to Queen Mary. Bred to run, is she not, and lo -ks the pari besides? Then there was | Signposts brown daughter by Hourles*. :l race l mare surely to admire. Songstress j., bet name. And SignpoM, by Trap Rook, from that famous stud mat ron St. Iriseilla, dam of PlIeCUHaa and Strom -beat In all. the Nursery Studs 191 yearlings are as IBtely a lot as one would wish lo bee. May luck attend them.
