appeared in the reigo of Queen Anne,
in reference to the Duchess of Marl-

Early Training of Colts.

Great speed in the running horse has
always been associated with early ma
turity. In England the system Of pre-
cociOusly feeding. forcing, and racing
the young thOrOughbreds has been
carried to such an extent that the Eng
lish race-horse, typified in Eclipse and
West Australian, once noted for his
stoutness and capacity to keep up the
pace with full weights at long distances,
is to-day the champion dash racer, but
not the stoutest repeater on the turf.
English turfmen sounded this alarm be-
fore Parole and Iroquois were taken
from America over 1.-The great waters"
to convince the dcvotecs of the Derby
and St. Leger, that the English system
of early forcing and training produces
the dash horse, but not the stout rater.
But the American breeders of the Thor
caught the English spirit, so that dash
races have largely taken tho place of
the great fOur-mile-repeat contests, in
which American Eclipse and Black
Maria and Boston and Lexington won
their renown. Early maturity makes
