- J. C. MILAMS BIG STRING OP YEARLINGS LEXINGTON, Ky., August 28. J. C. Milam has sixty-eight yearlings in training at the Kentucky Association track here and that is probably more by several than any other man in America has under his direction. Forty-five and one-half of these youngsters are Milams property and the other twenty-two and one-half are owned by J. N. Camden, master of Hartland Stud, who was at the course Saturday morning to see them. These youngsters are in two barns, the new 0,000 structure recently completed on the site of the destructive fire of May 9 last. Milam had twenty yearlings before the Saratoga sales at which he bought twenty-seven, but he sold two of those to Montfort Jones, they being a colt by McGee and a filly by Wrack, and he shipped the other twenty-live here. Milam is generally conceded by good judges here to have made excellent selections at the sales and to have bought them well. All of which is to say that he is certain to make money on his investments, since there is every prospect that the demand for developed horses in the immediate future is to be greater than it ever has been. Milam shipped from here tonight for Louisville the three-year-old Merle and the two-year-olds Big Bertha, Estrella and Dulcy, the property of Senator Camden, to join Clial-mette, also owned by Senator Camden; Lady Madcap and Braedalbane, property of Desha Breckinridge; Childs Play, which Milam leased from Phil T. Cliinn last spring, and Wathcful Waiting, Muriel Von Der and Whitleather, which he leased a few days ago from John E. Madden for the Kentucky season. Anna M. Humphrey, Dust Flower and Naughty Nisba are coming here from Louisville to be turned out for the remainder of the year at Milams farm near this city.
