With a team of five horses, he is to cave Wellington to-morrow. His quintette is made up of Greenxocer, Tea ' Miss, Lysanias, The Earth nd. Amplifier. Greengrocer may pr.ove to be the 6heet-anchor of the partyj for the English horse is good-. Unfor- ■ tunately, he develops lameness just as he reaches his best and has to be eased up. Being of the gross type, he would oonrun to the show-ring stage if his rainer did not watch him. . . Tea Miss has filled out since last een and with her pace she should win aces. . "' .; . 'i' ;' ' „ ;' '"' ■"' Lysanias is. Duo's half-brother and 3 a really nice sort. ' He is built on different .lines from he average Tea Tray and may go over bit of ground, .. . ; Amplifier' and The. Earth carried the tead colors at Randwicjc last spring. The EJarth, judging .by the roserve mt was placed on her when the Stead prses came under the hammer . last Banuary, i&— or was— rthought to be Hjime good. Her price that day was Hght hundred guineas. ■ Altogether Donovan's team is a B*etty useful one and he will no doubt Hace them to the best advantage. I Fred Jones has arranged' to leave .
