Fifteen Arc in This Band Purchased In Ireland, Which Committee Will Distribute with Others Tfovemuer 14. NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov. 8. The steamship Minnewaska on her second voyage from New York to London experienced bad weather, which caused her late arrival. She sailed from London again October 27 with a consignment of thoroughbreds which may be destined to exercise a considerable influence upon the American turf, particularly with regard to the National Steeplechase Association. . Under the subscription scheme, approved by that body, a number of jumpers of good class and reputation were purchased in Ireland. The details of these importations will be of general interest The consignment on the Minnewaska consists of the following animals : Trayeen Trisough, ch. h, 5, by Drinmore Icebound, . by Isinglass. Corfie, b. c, -4, by Junior Sultana II., by Soliman. Shauna Na Glauna, b. h, 5, by Cipango Lady "Wise, by Love Wisely. . . ...

Monkshood, b. g, 4, by Grosvenor Aycsha II., bv Ayrshire. All these animals come from families which have been succesful on the English and Irish turf, particularly in steeplechases and hurdle races; many of them showed good form on the flat. Some of them, notably Shining Bachelor, Monkshood and Ness, were winning races in Ireland practically a few days prior to shipment The consignment is not quite as repre-t sentative as could have been wished since two other horses purchased in Ireland met with slight mishaps a week or so before they were to be shipped. These mishaps were merely of a temporary character.
