Whitney farm near Lexington a son of Broomstick, which he will quarter until Mose Goldblatt arrives from Chicago with the division of the Whitney stable. W. D. Covington stated that Judge Lueders is now being prepared for racing after a short let-up following the Churchill Downs meeting. Jockey George Collins arrived from Danville, 111., and immediately was engaged to ride a pony in the feature attraction of the outing conducted by the Eagles. Eleven horses which W. G. Sparks has in training for various nwners arrived from Lexington Saturday. Swift Pal, which he is training for L. G. Thiesen, headed the shipment. A son of Prince Pal and Swift Water, he is named for the Latonia Derby, as well as the Independence and Enquirer Handicaps. They shipped and un-1 loaded in good condition. In addition to Swift Pal, Sparks brought J. L. Carricks Running Water, in which Carrick purchased the other half interest from Joe Chinn. Robert West, owner of the Kenton Farm and Stable, who has been at Martinsville, Ind., for ten days, was able to return to his Ohio home. During his illness Robert West, Jr., has been supervising the training of the horses as well as looking after the breeding farm. Mr. West reports a grand looking foal to Florisna, by Thunderstorm. T. L. Pierce motored to Lexington to confer with several breeders in regard to breaking their yearlings. Pierce could handle more than fifty of these youngsters, but as he has been already engaged for several prominent owners it will be necessary for him to disappoint many. Reports from Cleveland are to the effect that jockey C. Callahan is well on his way to recovery, and that the lad will be in condition to rejoin the Audley Farm Stable for the opening of the Latonia meeting. Gadstick is the horse that Major Louis Beard sent to T. L. Pierce to train until Mose Goldblatt arrives from Washington Park. Dick Whittington, while being roped at Woodbine Saturday morning, broke loose and ran through the stables. He was caught shortly afterward and was none the worse for his escape. The imported jumper Nazor, which the Eastland Farm left at Woodbine in charge of George Duffy, was shipped to Blue Bon- nets Monday afternoon. It was originally intended to send the leper to Hamilton with the division of the B. S. Michell string, but it has later been reported that the Eastland Farm will send their entire band to Salem, N. H., to take part in the meeting there, which will open shortly.
