They will command the attention of the most discriminating. The Pennant colt, owned in partnership with R. L. Jurden, is an outstanding yearling, and so is the colt by Victorian, tracing to Fairy Gold, bred on shares with the Kansas City sportsman. Of the twenty head offered by Mr. Fitz-Gerald, eight are by that great campaigner Display, winner of 56,526. AH have the super feet and legs of this ironclad son of Fair Play. Displays first crop, racing this year, includes several winners, with others knocking at the door. The promising stake prospect Discovery is the best that has shown to date, and a recent offer of 5,000 was refused for him. Conspicuous among his yearling colts are those from Snowy, by Tryster; Glacial, by Hourless, and Antidote, by Bachelors Double. The fillies by him that are worthy of a place in any stud after they quit the turf are from the imported dam Prattle, by Capt. Cuttle, which was from the great Popinjay, one of Lord Astors most prized "foundation" mares at his Cliveden Stud, Groat, by Junior, also from the Astor stud and dam of the One Thousand Guineas winner Plack, and the American dams Toddle, by Celt dam of Swivel and Dr. Freeland ; Gazette, by Light Brigade, and Careful, by Wrack. In the same class is the lovely daughter of Pennant and Snowcapt, the Roi Herode mare that has given Mr. Salmon so many good winners. As a matter of fact, this filly and two fine colts by Pennant, from the Fair Play mares Fair Priscilla and Quarante, are among the most attractive members of an unusual yearling consignment.
