In this division are eight two-year-olds, the progeny of Dunlin and Royal Canopy, as well as Princess A. O., and Princess Ivre. Trainer Beal has had Prince Vine unsexed and completed arrangements for Princess Julep to visit the court of Morvich at the Haylands Nursery. The Southland Stable, in charge of trainer J. Daniels, is marking time before starting for Kentucky, during which season hope is held for several members of the two-year-old division of the stable.

Cantrell, at private sale, from R. Nicholas. J. L. Paul has completed arrangements to move his stable to Exposition Park, Aurora, on April 1.
