Goodloe is sending to Charles Leonards stable at Belmont Park a couple of two-year-olds, names and breeding not disclosed. Max Hirsch is to get twi horses out of the car, one from Charles Dod-son and the other from John Wesley Marr, identity not stated. Arthur B. Hancock is at his Ellerslie Stud, Charlottesville, Va. He will go to Belmont Park for the running of the Belmont Stakes next Saturday and then will be at Leesburg, Va., for the dispersal of Edward Beale McLeans Belmont Plantation stud next Monday. Hancock has sixty foals, thirty colts and thirty fillies at his Claiborne Stud and his Ellerslie Stud. Misstep, having finished his season in the stud at Le Mar Stock Farm, was put into a motor van Tuesday and taken by Roland Drake to Louisville, from where he will be shipped tomorrow morning by train, with fourteen others of the Le Mar Stock Farm horses to trainer Mose Lowenstein at Lincoln Fields. James Lucas, retiring superintendent at Le Mar Stock Farm said today: "I never have handled a nicer horse in the stud than is Misstep and I never had a horse do better. He is sound as a dollar and I feel sure he will be heard of in racing the coming fall." Lucas is going to Boyce, Va., next Monday to take up his new position ar superintendent at Foxcatcher Farms. He will be succeeded at Le Mar Stock Farm next Monday by Tommy Coleman, who for the past three years was in charge of Frederick Johnsons breeding stock. Col. R. L. Baker has gone to Latonia to see his horses work. He may remain a day or two. Harry S. Hart announced today that in the future his establishment will be known as Swingalong Stud, Inc., instead of Swing-along Stable, Inc. John S. Wallace, who is now employed by the Miami Racing Association as racing secretary, left this morning for New York to have a conference with Joseph E. Wid-ener, president, and Frank J. Bruen, managing director, relative to the program for the meeting next winter and other matters. The yearling colt by Campfire— Zenoia, property of Mrs. Robert H. Heighe, of Belair, Md., ran into a fence at Claiborne Stud during a storm Saturday night and suffered injuries about the head. Efforts to save him were unavailing. Harry S. Hart, who recently left off a successful career as a trainer in order to become a breeder of thoroughbred horses, has formed a new partnership, which further extends his already extensive interests. He is sending nine mares this month to the farm of Louis Flynn of Winchester, Clark County, Ky., and Mr. Flynn will care for the mares and their foals for a share in the prices which the foals will bring as yearlings. Mr. Flynn is the fourth farm owner with whom Mr. Hart has made a similar arrangement. Horses belonging to Mr. Hart, who operates as the Swingalong Stud, Inc., are at Tollie Youngs Creekview Farm in Bourbon County, at J. Dunlap Gays farm in Clark County, and Walter Sharpes place in Bath County. Most of the mares being sent to the Flynn Farm were purchased out of the sales held in the Blue Grass last month.
