When A. NJ Knight three weeks ago
took the trOtung stallion Hl-Ita and the
thoroughbred stallion Night Time up TO
British Columbia, he was unaware that
there was q law in force there somewhat
similar to the clauses In the Mckinley bill
relating TO the importation Of horses into
the United States. knight found this out
to his cost, however, was refused permls-
sion IL land his horses and has had to bring
them back 70 Seattle. This is considered
very rough on Bob Lstheron, the popular
owner of Night Time. as he has not been
having the best of luck for a long time past.

Jenny has been reported as being In a
pitiable condition, but the swayback's
trainer Is not aware OF it. Tenny received
course OF blsters, and had time enough
between the applications to have all the
fever leave his legs before the next one was
applied. Tenny is not so high in flesh as at
this time last year. Donovan thinks too
much Of Jenny TO torture him to do race,
and II, therefore, he thought he could not
get him in condition to race, the horse would
be making season ia the stud.
A new rule TO date a horses age from
March is being agitated in England with
every chance OF its becoming a racing law.
The leading turfmen in England have been
emphatic in the assertion that il is a viola
ton of natures laws to have the foals come
in the stormy and cold months of January
and February, and declare that there are
few cases on record of horses foaled in May
and June becoming racers. The benefit of
great size in the thoroughbred has not been
proved, as the moderate sized horses have
won a large number Of tie more important
races both in England and America.
rule TO date horses age from March
is badly needed in this country, as there is
such diversity Of climates in the different
sections. The breeders in California have
at least four months the best OF the breeders
In other sections. The percentage OF prema-
ture foaling has increased to an alarming
extent 10 Kentucky, caused by their having
been bred months too early, many prac-
tical h0rsemen assert. What the American
turf requires Is a return TO at least five
pound allowance for geldings and March /
as the date from which TO reckon a horses
