Corrigan. fornrerly an bnpoVtaat figur.- on the American ttuf. has met with little success as yet in Irs attempts on the turf prizes of Kngland. Last year his filly Qruce was second seven times, but she never managed to win a race. This year, according to a writer irr the Londoa Sportsman. Mr. Corrigas has a sex#-tet of two-year-olds, equally divided as to sex. which should Break his losing streak and give him an excellent start toward success on the Bngttab turf. The writers account of the Corr gan stable follows: Since the late RJcbari Ten Broach set the fashion of invaditrg this country ami doing his best to carry off some of our principal turf prizes his example has bean pretty widely followed by his countrymen. P. Ltoriliard won both Derby and St. T.cger with Iroquois. The horse v. as trained by Pincus, who came from America with the owner of the colt. The trainer remained in this country for a good many years and finally trained a couple of horses of his own. with which -he distinguished himself by winning two races on the same afternoon at one of the Newmarket meetings. Mr. Keene did great things with his I-ox-hall, which brought off the "double" of the Cesarenitcfa and Cambridgeshire in 1881. The triumphs of Ifr. Whitney and his popular trainer. A. .1. Jojmer, are too recent to Deed recapitulation. These were all spoil sun 11 of the best type, and the same can be said rn the fullest degree of" .1. W. Corrigan. an American gentleman whose horses are under th- care of Dawson VVauh at Somerrille Lodge. l.IKKI.Y nVO-YriAR-OI.DS. So far he has yet to have the pleasure of seeing his colors la front in this country, but it must be admitted that he has had cruelly bad luck. Grace, a pretty little filly by Friar Marcus — Santa Clara ran ten times last season and scored seven seconds and a third without earning a single bracket . This was ill-fortune indeed, but. if looks go for anything, the half dosea two-year-olds that will carry his colors in the couv ir-g season will not be long before tluy break the spell. There are three colts and the same number of fillies, and I will deal with them in the crier in which I saw them. San Ctar. by Sunder-Yokohama, is u half-brother to Yokel and Perhaps. It ma be renumbered that the former did reosnaa service as a three-;, car-old for the Somer-ville Lodge Stable, while Perhaps beat a large field in the Second October Xursery lasl year. These two are respectively by Cylgad and Hapaburg, and I prefer Sunder as a sire to cither of thenr. so as San Itar a bright chestnut with a white stocking on the near hind leg is a decidedly promising colt, he ought to win some races. Camp Kirc. a bay lilly by .laeger— Battle Seine, will appeal to "The Special Commissioner" more than she did to me. for he is far more partial to the stock of Jaeger than am. Still. I am not go hag to allow prejudice against her sire to blind me to the fact that this is quite a nice filly, which should be well worth the ,000 that she cost as a « arling. I!M ES AM PROMISE. Harpy, a brown filly By Swynford — Flaming Vixen, brought 99JK9 last year, hike nearly all the Svvynfords she is pretty sure to be slow in coming to hand, but such a bred one must be worth all the money as a brood mare, irrespective of what she may win during her racing career. A bay filly named Spear, by Sunstar -Harpoon, is a sister to Harpenden and Tarpon. She cost Mr. Corrigan 0,000 and whether she will be worth that price will much depend upon her growth during the next twelve months, for at present she is a trifle on the small side. Jubilant, a bay by Cay Crusader -- Class Bell, is a beautifully turned colt. There is 1:0 disguising the fact that up to the present the stock of this great horse have by no means fulfilled expectations. It is rather singular that the Manton horses are usually slow in asserting themselves at the stud. P.ayardo and Lembnch being notable instances of this. Both, however, ultimately proved brilliantly successful, and Cay Crusader can scarcely fail to fellow their example. Sun Crag, a bay colt by Sundridge — Yanossa. was bred by Lord Sefton. At present he is a bit backward, but is improving so rapidly that there may no recognizing him in three months time.
