The McAtee shipment included Aunt Myrtle, Billies Orphan and Jessie Dear. Jimmy Smith, who starred in the saddle for Col. E. R. iradley several years back, registered with the two-year-old Derby Eve, which he raced in Florida, and two two-year-olds, property of J.

Ellis wired for reservations for twelve head which he is shipping here later in the week. Several of the Ellis performers raced at Oaklawn, while the others wintered at Dade Park.
