THRIVING AT MEMPHIS. Memphis, Tenn., January 31. G. C. Bennett J moved his entire stable to the track yesterday. He brought in forty-five head. In tnis lot he has twenty-nine two-year-olds. I understand that Abe Frank is looking fine, and,in fact, all of Mb stable are, except Canyon, which is a little off after being shipped from New Orleans. Mr. Schorr has about the best looking bunch of ! two-year-olds I think he ever owned, and a remarkable fact about Schorrs stable is that every horse he has on the ground is in active training. He has not one complaining horso. All are under the saddle every morning. Of his American Derby candidates I think he has four. They are doing all that is asked of them and looking the picture of health. Spencer Reif and Bob McLean are both big strapping horses, but Spencer Keif is a little inclined to be leggy, and is a little ratty on tho track. Rightful, the half brother to Endurance by Right, is thought very well of by Walker, but I do not think he has grown much. Janeway is a good looking colt, as he always was. C. R. Ellieon has quite a promising lot of two nad fl."r?"r -ye1! folds- Xaupnoso the horse Chicago will ba most interested in is Skilful. He also, like the Schorr horses, seems to be in the best of health but I do not think they are doing very much with him yet. He is not a largo colt, but a compact, good looking horse. Ellison has some good looking two-year-olds. A chestnut colt by Albert Ifclmabel, is a real good looker, and they have a colt Kingston Wantage that has worked well. JThey Hio, have a filly by Cayuga Golden Reel that is Bfly to be one of the best fillies on the race track. HBf Hildreths lot he American Derby candidate, upsoil, has grown to be a good sizod tbree-year-fcand Shannon, the man in charge of Hildreths Bses here, is very sweet on him. Topsoil is a Mfous, high strung horse, like many of the Top Rlants. I would not call him a good-looker, as H, is inclined to ba leggy. St. Marcos, of this Efible, they think will train sure. He certainly Btooks fine. Favonius. too, is doing finely. H Of Tichenore lot, I would pick his best three-P year-old to be Flocarline. She is a big, rangy filly. They have a good three-year-old called Harry, by Hindoo, that is very good-looking, but I do not believe he has done much yet. Little Sidney C. Love is the same attractive little horse, but is so small that one could hardly think of him as a Derby horse. They havo a real good-looking two-year-old full brother to Florizar, but they have a couple of colts by The Commoner that can outwork this colt at present, but he is a good colt, a big, fellow, with plenty of substance. John Fay-has a fine lot of two-year-olds here, yet I did not see them. A colt by Montana Loo is thought to bs the best of the lot. " Bub" May has quite a lot here, soma belonging to himself and his father, and the others to some Now York people. They are entered in the name of E. Wasssrmann. He has a big brown Top Gallant colt, one of the largest two-year-olds on tho track. He is by Top Gallant Glen Hop, but one of the best lookers, I notice, in his lot is a bay colt by Albert-Bullet. J. V. Shipp and Co. have sixteen head here, in charge of Joe Hawkins. They are composed of two and three-year-olds, some of tho lot belonging to Mr. Appleby. I have never looked over these horses, so can tell you very little about them yet. E. R. Bradley has some horses here, and thoy say - a brother of Jiminez, which is called Common Bird, is a right good-looking colt, but I never saw him. I J. C. Cahn and P. M1. Civill came in the othor day. They have not made out their lists yet. I do not know what they have, but know that Terra Firma is in the lot, and Mr. Cahn told me he brought I -Avoid with his lot. This filly belongs to D. A. teonig, and is a Tennessee Oaks candidate, and f Eahn says-she is quite a nice-looking filly, J ! Lem Mathers, the man that trained Endurance by Right for Mr. Barnos, brought sixteen head from Lexington a few days ago. These belong to various ownors. Cunninghams stable, with Gilfain, tho conqueror of McChesney, is here, but, like many more, I have not seen him. Sidney Bonder is here with Jack Demund and some more. He seems to think very well of a filly by Pessara Fedora II. he has in his lot. J. S. Bratton haB a stable of about twenty-two head here, I think, composed of three-year-olds and upward. He has quite a lot of jumpers. S, S. Tracey and Co. have their entire stable here. All of those wo will try to furnish you some news of later on. Charles Mahohe has a "good looking three-year-old in Banter. This horse is very much improved in appearance and really looks like a good three-year-old. He says his filly, Sarah Maxim, has improved so much that one would hardly know her. In fact, all the horses at Memphis havo done exceedingly well. M. N.
