Bob Shannon shipped his stable of four horses in the same car with the Fisher consignment, the quartet being Passport, Skirmisher. Sophy and a two-year-old half-sister to Thihodaux.

AN" i 1 1 Land appears to be in fine condition, but according to his trainer the son of Black Toney and Hildred is not very far advanced in his preparation and it is doubtful if he will be ready in time to start in the Derby. He has been receiving his training; over the three-eighths track on the farm, but has not yet been sent a mile at a pace faster than a two-minute pace. The colt is also eligible to the Crainger Memorial Handicap, to be run the latter part of the Downs meeting, and it may be possible to have him ready for this stake. TRACK STII.L HEAVY.
