The Loss of Mr. Cameron's Blood Stock.

(From Wilkes's Spirit of the Times.)
The loss of so many of the valuable thorough-bred horses
purchased by Mr. Cameron at a great expense in England,
and shipped for this country by the Helvetia, is very much
to be deplored. The brood mares were calculated to add
immensely to the productive capacities of our breeding
studs, and there were several horses in training of good
reputation, with young ones of high breeding, good looks,
and great promise. There were 39 shipped in good order-
and health at Liverpool. The five following—Biiague, bay
gelding, by Newminster out of The Jewess, 4 yrs ; a bay ,
or brown colt foal by Oulston out of Volucris ; a brown
filly foal by Old Calabar out of Juniper; a bay filly foal
by Macaroni out of Elfrida ; a bay filly foal by Old Cala-
bar out of Veronica—are the only survivors. Mr. James
Weatherby wont down from London to see them all right
on board, so as to give certificates under the warrant of the
England " Stud Book." The horses were placed in the
between-deck, and every possible precaution was taken for
their safety. It was found, however, that some of the rails
to which the slinging apparatus was attached worked out
of the mortices in the posts. The battensnailed to the deck
to give them foothold when the vessel rolled also became
loose. These battens were long strips running fore and aft,
and it is believed that short battens for each horse would
have been better. But the cause of the deaths of the horses
was the terrible rolling of the ship for ten consecutive
days, which wore them completely out, so that they died of
exhaustion. It was Mr. Cameron's intention to have Lad
them shipped much earlier in the season. In June he sent
over William Hays, a very capable and painstaking man, to
come out with them as superintendent. Last year Hays
brought out for Mr. Cameron Warminster, four brood mares,
Hampton Court, Maid of Honour, and a riding-horse.
They all landed here well, after a voyage of nearly two
months ; but it was much earlier in the year, and in a sail-
ing vessel. The screw steamers roll and wallop about
so much in a sea-way that the horses are soon en-
tirely upset, and, if bad weather should continue, their
distress increases hourly, and their danger becomes groat.
The principal reason why the shipping of the stock was so
long deferred was the difficulty of obtaining suitable ac-
commodation. When the cholera was prevailing, more or
less, no room could be had. In regard to the brood mares,
the delay was particularly unfortunate,for they were getting
far gone with foal, and 23 of them slipped foals before they
died. The loss of some of these mares is peculiarly unfor-
tunate. They were a fine-looking lot, selected with great
care and good judgment.
We have had an interview with Wm. Hays, and hoard
with sorrowful interest his account of the unfortunate
voyage. They sailed on Thursday from Liverpool, and had
pleasant weather that day and night. Having been pro-
vided with everything that experience suggested and money
acepurlodsppuerrocuhsasveofygoarte rahecn omfort of the horses, their hope of
high. They naturally expected
some loss and damage, but not much. On the second day
when they were below Holyhead, it came on to blow, and
the sea began to run high as it rolled on up the Channel.
We have had some experience of the cross-seas about
Tuskar Light, and know what they are. The ship rolled
terribly, and the horses were much distressed. They would
not eat, and from that time took no nourishment but a little
gruel fed with a spoon, and such like. The weather got
worse as they breasted the big seas, rolling into the chops
of the Channel from the westward, and on Sunday White
Rose of York slipped her foal and died of exhaustion,
bathed in sweat as though a bucket'of water had been
poured over her. They wore all suffering much that
night, and at 1 en the morning of Monday Antipades, the
colt by Young Melbourne, died. Peeress had been very
bad from the first. She was a great favourite with all, and
the lads knew that she was highly prized by Mr. Cameron,
who had been offered 2,000 guineas for her and refused it
A lad was at her head all the time, and Hays exerted all
his efforts to relieve her. But it was in vain,
and at 4 o'clock on Monday afternoon she died.
Then the deaths followed in quick succession. It blow a
gale. The ship laboured and rolled and shipped such seas
that tons of water earn° down into the between decks whore
the horses were. The mares all died before the land was
made. The yearling colt by Marionette out of Bapta out-
lasted all the brood mares, but ho died before the storm was
spent. He was a very fine yearling, Hays'says, and for a
long time they had hopes that they should save him. The
last that died was the flower of the flock—the yearling colt
by St. Albans out of Jerusalem. He stood it so long that
their hopes were encouraged about him, and, though he
plainly got weaker, they believed ashe neared the land that
ho would pull through. His pluck was uncommon, and
he fought with such savage determination against the
slings that they could notkoep him in them. His endurance
was also immense, but the trial was too much. He would
not be slung, but stood up till tho last, and when the ship
arrived off Sandy Hook, and the haven was almost reached
slid
d lids under

sore loss must be a warning to future shippers, to put their
stock into a good, stout sailing vessel, which, being deep in the hull and carrying no top-hamper but her
spars,
will
not roll so excessively. Moreover, the shipment should be
so timed that the vessel may be looked for here between
July 1 and September 10. We esteemed it a great misfor-
tune when Cockahoop was lost in coming to this country,
but that was a mere nothing to what we have now to de-
plore. Tho loss of Juniper, a Bay Middleton mare out of
The Fawn, inbred to Waxy, Walton, and Williamson's
Ditto, can hardly be replaced; that of Peeress, who was
the last of the Mainbrace family, is also very grave ; and
in that of the yearling colts, whose pluck and endurance
was manifest to their last gasp, we have missed the exhi-
bition of much racing quality.

DESTRUCTION OF POULTRY BY FOXES IN SURREY.
—During the last two years there has been an extended
preservation of foxes in this country, and many coverts
and brakes aro overstocked. But since the fall of snow
the rabbits, which form an essential meal to foxes, have
gone to ground, and Reynard has been driven by hunger
to the farm-yards in search of fciod, and around- Crawley,
Grinstead, and llerley foxes have made great havoc among
the pew and ducks.
