MANOLIVE'S RETIREMENT
The news that Manolive was to be retired has been confirmed. This Manfred—Sister'1 Olive stallion * was the horse of the hour early last season, and he was for a time looked upon as. the horse likely to trouble Ajax. He failed in the St. George " Stakes, when the champion ran him off his legs, and then broke down in the Australian Cup when he appeared to have a winning lead; i . , It is probable that the last has also been> seen on the racecourse of that great galloper Spear Chief.- In the spring he developed a weakness 'in one of his tendons, and in consequence he had to miss the early season racing. It was thought a rest might result in the trouble clearing; but it reappeared and now his owners are considering retiring him. He will either be sold or leased as a sire.
