The Race-HOrses Of the Future.

Those who take an interest in the
future welfare OF the American running
turf will be gratified to know that the
number OF thoroughbred foals reported
for 1875 was sos. OF these GAG were colts
and 262 FLIES. Eight FLIES and twelve
foaled dead, leaving 4SS to be recognized
this spring as yearlings. This is the
largest number of thoroughbred foals
ever reported for one year, and as all or
nearly all will be trained for the track. n
guarantee is furnished that racing will
not decline for the want OF material.
That veteran turfman, Mr.. Harry Booth.
said to us only yesterday: when got
hold Of old Trustee, people asked me
what ! was going to do with him ? [ re-
piled that would use him in the stud.
and thus scatter a few thoroughbred
foals around New York, with the hope
racing. The plan worked we'll. The
mere fact of thoroughbred colts being
owned by a few gentlemen here and
there turned their thoughts to the turf.
Little by little the fever increased. and
now we look upon racing as the leading
outdoor amusement of the people,
Accepting Mr.. Booths view as correct.
the logical conclusion is that racing will
not decline so long as thoroughbreds
are bred on the extensive scale of 1875.
With so much track material at hand.
1t Is out OF the question for the sport to
pass completely under a cloud. Some
body will not fail to make use of the
material. II one park goes down. an
other will rise on its ruins.
We are not able to give the total mum.
Der OF thoroughbred brood mares owned
in the country, for the reason that the
owners have failed to report the barren
or not bred. AS 1t is to the interest of
breeders to have these facts appear in
connection with other statistics which
pertain to their business, it is to be
hoped that they will make no omissions
for the current year.
In running through the list of foals
Tor 1875, we find that OF the best known
and most productive stations, Alarm ia
credited with four fillies and six colts
Asteroid with nine fillies and three
colts; haywood with seven ffllies and
seven colts; Billet with eight fillies
and two colts; Bonnie Scotland with
fourteen fillies and twelve colts: Daniel
Boone with four FLIES and Eve colts
Eclipse with one fllly and six colts En-
quirer with fifteen fillies and eighteen
colts; Glen Athol with thirteen fillies
and eight colts; Glenelg with thirteen
fillies and eight colts; Harry Bassett
with four fillies and seven colts King
fisher with two fillies and three colts
bennington with ten FLIES and eight
colts; Lexington with four fillies and
six colts; Longfellow with five FLIES
and four colts; Pat Malloy with three
