ris Park; Klldeer won the Elizabeth and Hunter 

 Stakes; and the stable captured quite a number of minor 

 races. During the season Curt Gunn, a two-year-old

 hatchee. The same autumn he purchased of Hough 

 Brothers the celebrated filly La Tosca, three years old, 

 one of the best fillies of the day. Certainly she was 

 the best filly St. Blaise ever sired, and her dam

in 1863. La Tosca had, as a two-year-old, 

 won many stakes for Mr. Belmont, and was sold after 

 his death for $13,000 to Hough Brothers, in whose col- 

 ors she had a brilliant season as a three-year-old. She 

 won for Mr. LoriUard, but did not appear at four, and 

 although Huggins brought her out at five and won 

 races, she started favorite for the Metropolitan and 

 pulled up lame. A more beautiful bloodlike filly never 

 bore a silken jacket. There was a refinement to her 

 that made other horses look common, and she went 

 into the stud of the Sanfords of Amsterdam, N. Y., and 

 became the dam of Chuctanunda.
