NEWMARKET, ENG

The question Of the superiority al
the English and American thorough
hreds seems tn he in q fair way Of
settlement as far as tie running a.
American horses in England is con
cerned. MIR. j. r. Krenc's stabl,
eft this port Yesterday per the M
ioual steamship IIclyc,ia for Liver
pool. The question, however, %
trying English horses in the Unite,!
States, except with horses purchased
ny Americans, seems to be as far
from any ettlement as it was TWEEN
ty FIVE years ago, no English owner
having yet been found sufficiently
interested in the matter to test the
question by running stable for his
own account at Jerome, Monmouth,
Saratoga or elsewhere. As to Mr..
Keene's venture, it is to be hoped
that his horses will at least arrive
safely and in as good health as can
be expected after nearly two weeks
confinement on the main deck Of an
ocean steamship. That they will
suffer some is nearly certain, especi.
ally should the weather prove bad,
as is very likely at this season Of the
year. Every effort, however, has
been made to mitigate the rigors Of
the voyage. The stalls are substan-
TALLY built, as nearly amidships as
possible. They are we'll padded,
and as the attendants, w. j. Rogers,
William Kane and Charles Little
field, Jr., are men Of experience
with horses afoat, it is to be hoped
the stable will be delivered in fairly
good condition to Mr.. Joseph Daw.
son at Newmarket. The lot is az
follows:
Spendthrift ~, by Australian,
dam Aerolite.
Lord Murphy a., by Pat Malloy,
dam Winonah.
