The subscriber congratulates the breeders Of fine
horses, on the opportunity offered them of i'm
proving their stock, by valuable cross. That the
American and English race horse has greatly deter

conceded by all intelligent and candid sportsmen and
that that deterioration has been produced by the
practice of breeding an and an as it is called. THAT

sort TO the orjgiDRstock OF oriental horses is as ne
cessary to preserve an improved breed, as it in

direct cross producing the finest animals both for

and the history of the English horse will demon
strate it, that the best and breeders England
ever had, the sons aud daughters, and at far

first evidence would offer, in support of the asser-
ton s, the established weights on the English course

of the barley Arabian, until the death Of the Go
dolphin Arabian; which included period of about
fifty years They were breeding extensively from
oriental horses, including Bdrbs and Turks During
that entire period, their horses continued to improve
IN speed and bottom, while the weights were greatly
increased; aged horses then carried 63 pounds, and
with that ran four miles, from seven minutes twenty
seconds, to minutes fifty seconds; from that
time, say from 1870 TO 1875 to the days of Eclipse
they discontinued the breeding from the Arabian,
and their weights have been gradually dccreasing
on some tracks to 10 pounds; and none, believe,
are they higher than 1873 pounds; yet there Is not

distance in the sans time in which it formerly
