Very little interest appears to be taken in the
result of the struggle for the Goodwood Cup for
which John Porter is evidently giving Isonomy an
especial preparation, the horse having this week

Pistol and Beans. This horse was stripped in
magnificent condition ut Ascot, and rs believe
he will be as blooming at GoodwoOd, consider
that am justified in recommending him as the
most likely horse to win. Parole has increased the
length OF his gailops this week at Newmarket
and it is stated to be the intention Of his to
start him for the Goodwood Cup. He will have an
allowance of ~ lbs. for having been bred in Amer

the son OF bennington. The kingsclere horse has,
however, proved that he can stay the distance while

The same writer in referring to the late yearling
sales in this country, says
The recent sales of youngsters that have been
held i'll United States ought to teach owners Of
racing studs in this country salutary lesson. SO
tar as the SOIL climate stations. brood mares and
the rearing OF blood stock concerned there s no
whatever why race horses should not be bred
In America to perform as well as our own. But
while the very poor prices recently made for year
lings raised at some of the principal studs in tho
United States will probably leave paying profit to
the venders the averages would result disas
trous loss to the breeders of racing stock in
this country. Another serious drawback which
English breeders have to contend with az
against Americans is that racing laws admit Of
the horses bred in the latter country aud the colo
mics being brought to England and competing for
some of our great prizes with ten pounds less on
their backs than our own thoroughbreds. III refer
to the prices realized by American bresders for
their yeariing stock, find that on June IL eleven
bred by Messrs. keene and Bethunc fetched only
total of f5iS, average OF GAG each.
Another lot-the Woodburn yearings-numbered
forty three and realized total OF f2567 Esq lOs
each.
