Of the other horses in Goldsmith's stable Island 

 Wilkes trotted third to Lobasco at Detroit, won at 

 Rochester in 2:17^4, 2:13%, 2:13^4, after losing a 

 heat to Corinne, and was unplaced at Springfield 

 and New York. Una Wilkes was unplaced to Pixley 

 at Buffalo, third to Azote at Springfield, outside of 

 the money in the race won by Prince Herschel at 

 Lexington, and third to Pamlico at Nashville. Ben 

 Ali was also tried in good society at Philadelphia, 

 where he was third to Daylight, and at Providence, 

 where he was unplaced in the 2:21 class. After 

 this showing John Goldsmith decided that the Pat- 

 chen gelding was not up to the standard and sold 

 him. When next heard from Ben Ali was being 

 "rung" as Home Brewed. He was detected and 

 expelled, but subsequently raced as an outlaw as 

 John Y., Sagwa, Weskora, etc. The following table 

 presents the returns for 1893.
