duced to adopt this course more particularly IS the
demands OF an extensive shipping interest with the
Indies, New Zealand and Australia, LEFT but little
time for him 10 devote to such AFFAIRS yet his un-

gave to the gentlemen now congregated IN New

running horses In the land, an opportunity to add
to the respective studs many animals OF renown

to do So and the attempted sale or the Clifton stud
can be narrated as bad, very bad, failure.
