BROTHERS UNLIKE EACH OTHER.
It is really wonderful, re-marks Mr Allison, that Pcrdila II should have bred four such colts as aro hers by St. Simon, lliey aro all very different from one another m "■cneral stylo, except that they, have ample hone and very strong, straight and clean hocks. Florizel, the eldest of Hie four, lias all the power of- Persimmon, though not. Quito the same commanding scope ami size. He was a- rare stayer beyond all question, and it is quite on the cards that ho will make as good a stud horse as his magnificent brother.. Anyhow, I think he is one of the cheapest horses at the stud at 100 guineas, as fees go nowadays, and there is no wonder that his list filled as far back as last June. With Persimmon and Flbrixol H the Prince of Wales lias the equivalent of £10,000 a year. .Samlringliain, the third brother, so far a.s looks go, is not one whit bdiiud oven Persimmon. In short, he it; tho finest three-year-old colt of the season, bo his racing ability what it may.
