IMPROVED COLT.

STONEHAVEN'S PROGRESS.

NOT OVERTAXED. . ROUND ABOUT ELLERSLig. Although Stonehaven has not been motaxed since the autumn, he is thriving exceptionally well on the work W. Km is allotting him. Like others of the same family, this two-year-old has been grrnr. injr very fast, and for that reason he only been required to race once. The experience will prove useful to Stonehaven when he begins racing again next season. Jn conformation this colt has made marked improvement, having jg, veloped noticeably since the autumn, but owing to his size it is not intended to hurry his preparation. TO CONTEST SPRINT EVENTS.
