BUNTING-JOHN P. GRIER Leased From H. P. Whitney by Carr and Piatt for Stud Service This Year. LEXINGTON, Ky., Jan. 13. Messrs. John D. Carr and Thomas Piatt today completed arrangements with Charles II. Berryman by i which two of the Harry Payne Whitney stallions are leased for service at their farms near Lexington this year. One is John P. Grier, the seven-year-old son of Whisk , Broom II. and Wonder, by Disguise, and the I other is Bunting, the five-year-old son of Pennant and Frillery, by Broomstick. Both of these horses were winners of the Futurity, the former being of the Ben Brush line and i the latter of the Domino line. "Bunting is chock full of Futurity blood and should make ; good in the stud, as have Pennant, his sire, and Peter Pan, his grandsire, son of Com-; mando, son of Domino," Mr. Piatt said today. "It is my purpose to send the foals from this breeding to Saratoga as yearlings in 192G and if they do not bring fair prices that will end my breeding for the market. 1 will breed and develop and sell them as developed horses." John IT. Morris, master of Bosque Bonita Stud, was in Lexington today, having stopped by Kcenland Farm to see the thoroughbreds that are to be sold in Edward Cebrians dispersal on Tuesday, January 22. "I never saw a stallion of his age in better health and condition than is Troutbeck," said he, "and American Ace is, to my way of thinking, a splendid prospect for a sire. I think he is I the fastest horse I ever timed. In a race here at Lexington I caught him around the a quarter in 21 seconds. I have a yearling j filly by Troutbeck that is a splendid individual." I Max Hirsch, who departed for his home in New York tonight, also inspected the Cebriiin yearlings today and saw American Ace and I the three-year-old Ionian. He was impressed witli the stock and made notes abo:t those ho fancies. "We have had to do something about this sale that we have never had to do before," said W. J. Tracey of the Kentucky Sale Company, in charge -f the Ce-brian dispersal. "We have ha to order printed another 500 catalogues to meet the demand for them."
