A PROMISING TWO-YEAR-OLD.

At the Sydney Turf Club Anniversary Meeting a good two-year-old was unearthed. This was Titan, a celding owned by the Hon. J. White. In the Challenge Stakes, run over six furlongs, he defeated a splendid field of twenty • one, and ran the journey in 1.17. Titan is described as a fine, well-grown, upstanding chestnut, and was got by Chester from the well-performed Tempe, who is by Somnus (imp.) from White and Blue (imp.), by Monseignour. His dam Tempe, when a three-year-old, won the A. J.C. Trial Stakes and Second Foal Stakes ; and at five year? old won the A. J.C. Summer Cup, Tattersall's Club Cup, and s Anniversary Handicap. Tican is engaged in the Ascot Vale Stakes at the forthcoming V.R.C. Autumn Meeting. Speaking of Titan's running " Martindale " writes:— "Of all the two-year-olds • which have been out during the season, none has struck me as being as likely to produce the Derby winner as this colt. He has both shape and breeding to recommend him, and the way he shot out and cut down two speedy animals like Ustane and The Gift, is ample evidence of his pace. As may be supposed, such a promising one is well engaged ; and his winnings should bo very heavy during the next two seasons."
