Mrs. Swenke also owns two others of his foals which arrived this year. One is a chestnut filly from Ebony Belle and the other a chestnut colt from Sea Tag. All inherit the color of their sire, a horse highly regarded by James Rowe when he carried the Whitney silks in stake company as a juvenile. The smart appearances of the three foals has prompted several other horsemen to make bookings for Gonfalons services for their mares. •
