The Importation of English Thorough
bred stock TO America.
NEW YORK, March 31.-Edmund latter
sail thus writes to the SPIRIT of tie Times
from Albert Gate, London 81 read with in
terest your leading article of January ooh on
the importation of English thoroughbred
stock to America, and useful horses in eX-
change for England. | am quite of your
opinion. There may be large business done
between the two countries, to the advantage
of both. The second lot of thirty-one Amer
lean horses arrived here under the care of Mr..
Davis in excellent condition and without any
loss, and this ought to be followed by regu-
lar consignment, as all buyers at the first sale
were satisfied, and are sure to attend future
sales. If they are continued at short inter-
walls this country can take q large number an
nually, and if horses of good size are sent over
have no doubt they will pay. With regard
to the thoroughbred horses and mares have
sent over, it will to certain extent test the
market and prove il it will be worth the risk
of sending many more, and our breeders will
hesitate to continue to send unless this lot is
made remunerative. Davis will bring out
some good stations on his return voyage. but
upon the sale of the mares now in New York
will depend, in great measure, the future
expectation of mares"

CHICAGO, March 3i.-The Inter- Oceans
New York special says: An aspiring young
actress, scarcely more than Is years old, was
an inmate of the Lost Children's Department
at the police headquarters, Wednesday night.
To day she was claimed by friends, who
feared that she had become lost in the city,
to which she was stranger, and who were
overjoyed to find her safe. The girls story
is romantic one. She is very handsome,
and her family is one of the most re-
spected of the old Southern families in
Baltimore. A successful effort was made
to withhold her name, but she
will appear on the stage as Nellie Reeves.
AT the death of her mother, when she was
very young. the girl was placed in the care of
her aunt. Her father removed to this city
and married again. He lives on Thirteenth
street, and is said to be banker doing bust
ness in Wall street. AS the daughter grew
up she developed apparent dramatic talent,
and decided to go on the stage in spite of the
protests of her relatives. A week
ago she left Baltimore to put herself under
the tuition of dramatic teacher in this city.
In an interview with a reporter yesterday,
she stated that her aunt was aware of
her intention, but this was not the under
standing of the police, who day or two
later were called upon by the aunt to search
the city for her niece. A detective found her
Wednesday night at boarding house, 242
West Twelfth street, and took her into Gus
tody as she was about to start for the Lexing-
ton Opera House, where she was to take a
part in the rehearsals of the Two Orphans,
which is to be presented tomorrow night by
an amateur dramatic organization. She
was to appear in the role of Louise. The
detective took her the police headquarters.
