English Demand for American Horses,

A company was formed recently in
| England for the purpose of importing
horses from the United States and Can
ada. 1t bore the name of the British
Empire Horse Supply Association. and
Its object was to improve the stock OF
horses in Great Britain, and supply the
constantly increasing demand for supe-
rior horses for hunting and racing. The
inadequacy of the home supply of good,
sound horses, and the prices consequent
upon this, have been much discussed in
England, and many well known men of
high rank Joined this company. The
capital stock was 100000 The work
of buying horses and shipping them was
begun in Canada, and about 400 were
sent across the ocean. But the buyers
employed by the company did not Sc
cure superior animals, and the project
failed
The need of new blood, however, re-
mains, and owing to the demand for
horses from this country, and the good
prices received, a company Is being
formed in this city to take up the work
of the Horse Supply Association. The
stockholders will consist of Americans
and Englishmen who are interested in
horsehesh g. W. Bishop, the account
of whose trip to England with Pierre
Lorillard's horses was recently publish
ed in the Tribune, stated yesterday that
the expectation of h rises from this city
was largely carried on at present. One
firm sends annually to the West Indies
1000 horses and mules. Large numbers
of horses have been sent to England
and France this year. The steamer
Queen, which sailed last Saturday, car
RED 90 horses to Liverpool, and four
others, which Mr.. Bishop lately brought
from Maine, will be sent to the south of
France to breeding-stable which will
be established there. Mr.. Lerillard also
sent by this vessel another racer
to his brother-in-law. The horses from
this country, especially from Kentucky,
have a high reputation in England
They are valued for weight-carrying
qualities, in which they are much supe
riOr to the English hunters. At re-
cent sale in Yorkshire the prices for
American saddle-horses ranged from
$500 co $3.50. These horses are not
much in demand here, and may be pur
chased at comparatively low prices.
According to the latest authorities there
are in this country over 5000, 600
horses, while Great Britain has only
10000 Illinois alone has more than
10000 horses. That there is a good
opportunity fol large profits from the
expectation and sale of fine animals, if !
the business is managed with sufficient
care to exclude all inferior stock, is the
opinion of the best informed horsemen
of this city.-Nea0 York Tribune, 9th.
