Mrs. Mae Wayland, widow of the late Eu-gene Wayland, is anxious to dispose of the five-year-old mare Turnabout, a daughter of Fair Play and Job Dot, and, accordingly, a sister to the good mare Jyntee. This mare was bought by Mr. Wayland last November with the idea of making a matron of her. She is beautifully bred and it is not likely Mrs. Wayland will be long in finding a buyer. Mis. Wayland is at Havre de Grace.
