VICTORIA AS A BREEDER
ENGLISH HORSE FLEsH-lMMENsE PRrcEs.-The
annual sale of her Majesty's yearlings took place
June 10, at the royal paddocks, Hampton court
The disposal of the first lot was fixed for o'clock
and it was preceded by luncheon at the house of
the stud groom, Mr.. Ransom, which was supplied
by Mr.. Richard Coombs, of the Greyhound hotel,
and was OF an excellent and plentiful character and
the attention and activity of the ladies who super
intended the arrangements caused every person to
be well supplied with refreshments.
The rOstrum of Mr.. Richard Tattersall, Jr, was
placed in the second paddock just in front of the
boxes of Orlando and the Cure, and by the time an
nounced for the commencement of the sale a nu-
merous assemblage of the leading aristocratic pa
irons of the turf had taken place. Among the com
pany were the Duke of Beaufort, Lord Chesterfield
Lord Winchelsea, Lord Strathmore, Lord Stamford
Lord Gray de Wilton, Lord Coventry, Lord Stat
ford, Lord Cliften, &c. Six drags Of the Four-in-
Hand Club arrived just before the opening of the
SALE and took up their station within easv hearing
of the eloquence of Mr.. Tattersall. The catalogue
comprised II otS-viz: II colts and illes and al
though the quality of the ''youngsters" was not up
to the average of former years, yet on the whole
they were of a farish stamp, and the condition in
which they were sent to the hammer, reflected the
highest credit on the ability and soicitude of Mr.
Ransom, her Majesty's stud groom.
At about half past l O'clock, Mr.. Tattersall as
cended his rostrum, and during the progress of
business he used all those powers of persuasion for
which he and his family have become famous all
over the world Lot was a colt by Barnton-the
Arrow, and at one time it seemed probable that it
would lind no bidder; but after much Oratorv on
the part OF the aucteneer, it was Knocked down to
Mr.. ROwlands, for 20 guineas. Lot 2, another
Barnton, scarcely Jared better; but the hammer
subsequently fell to the nod of Mr.. John Day, for
% guineas. The next, 3, ehesnut colt by New
minster- Himalaya, proved the high-priced year
ling OF the sale, for after much spirited cOmpeti-
ton, ahe colt became the property of Lord STAN
ford, for no guineas. The fact Of the colt being
by Newminster, the ''most fashionable stallion of
his favor; but, apart from that, his wry, strong,
and boodlike appearance must have found him a
host of adherents. Lots and 5, Barntons, were
strong, plain, useful colts; but they did not excite
down for 64 and 81 guineas, to Mr. Reeves of Ep.
som. Lot 6, a brother to Imperieuse. by Orlando
-Eulogy was bought by Lord Stamford for $50
guineas. The colt, though somewhat small, is full
of good points, and has beautifully free action
Lot Z, colt by the Flying Dutchman-Nina is one
of the most promising Dutchman yearlings that
have been seen for some time. He was Knocked
down to Lord Stamford for 400 guineas. Lot s, a
chesnut colt, brother to Accurate, was loudly
praised by the company. After some lively bid
bing, he fell to the beck of Lord Stamford for 400
guineas. The colt mas good size, with irst-rate
shoulders, thighs and hooks, and deep fore-ribs
and, indeed, was of the very best lots offered.
Lot 9, brother to Fusee and Flyaway bv Orlando
Flight, thick clever colt, was sold to Lord Gov
entry for 300 guineas. The other lots require no
especial comment. Last year Loup Garou flly
the highest-prced yearling, at 780 guineas; on
the present occasion 7l0 guineas was the highest
price realized. The produce of the sale amounting
to BIS gnineas, averaging fraction over lS3
guineas each ..-.. .. .. .....
Immediately after the termination of her Males
tvs sale the company adjourned to Hamptongreen,
where, as soon as the preliminaries could be ar
ranged, Mr. Tattersall proceeded to dispose Of Mr..

The prices were in several instances extraordinarily
high, and the bidding most animated. The first
lot beautiful brother to Chirp fetched The enor-
nous price of 1000 guineas; and John Day, the
well known trainer, did not leave off bidding un-
til he had run the colt up to $40 guineas, anxious
did he appear to become its possessor. The ham
mer fell to Lord Stamford's bid for GOO guneas.
Lot 6, magnificent racing-like colt by Orlando
Muscovite's dam, fetched 9l0 guineas, John again
perssting in his offers until he had bid to the ex-
tent of 900 guineas, but the colt was knocked down
to Lord Chesterfield for 9l0 guineas. Lot 10, a
chesnut filly, by 0randO-Torment, gave rise to
some extraordinary competition, and after sharp
rally between the bidders, she was knocked down
to Lord Stamford for 40 guineas. This is the
highest price ever given at the hammer for year
ling ey, and with exception of Lord of the Hills,
who fetched 800 guineas, no other yearling has
fetched so high figure. The Is yearlings realized
1888 guineas, thus averaging within fraction Of

The Swiss mercenares have long been areproact
to the country whose name they bear; and mer
have wondered how it was that a people that Sc
stoutly defended their own rights should furnish
the despots Of Europe with the hireling soldiery
that kept down their subjects. The Swiss have
always been from necessity, military people. Tho
pressure OF the aggressive despotisms around them
has compelled them to train their young to the
use of arms, and in all their history, to frequently
employ them. Switzerland is a poor country, auC
the floating population that have no trades, anC
that find little demand for the ruder forms of labor
were early tempted into foreign service. At frs
there was no disgrace attached to this kind of EN-
