HORSE GOSSIP.


an American gentleman, Mr.. w. 5. Webb,
who is q notable breeder in that country,
has just completed a purchase of Hackneys
from the Broolilleld stud belonging to Mr.
Burdett Coutts, NJ. 7. From a glance at
tho names of the mares included in the
draft the transaction will probably work
very important era in the introduction of
the Hackney breed into the United States,
as the enterprising purchaser, who is known
to be fair judge of horse flesh has chosen
the richest stepping blood TO be found in
the famous stud at Brookficd. We hope
to give full particulars shortly; but we I'M
derstand that q certain 'prohibtive' price
which Mr.. Burdett Coutts placed on one
pair Of his mares in order to stop their sale
was readily acquiesced in. IL is Mr. Webb's
ambition to found stud of the best harness
horses which shall be counterpart in
America of the successful enterprise estab-
lished by Mr.. Burdett Coutts in this coun-
try; and has wisely considered that the
foundation of such stud must be in selec-
ton of old pedigree mares Of tho breed he
wishes to produce.
