according TO the scale in 1885, and as this race
is made with view to beating Lexington's
tme 1t appeared to the management only fair
that the horses competing for this honor should
carry only such weights were in force at that
time, and, apart from the objection of the
jockey portion Of it, the low scale of weights
decided upon reflects credit on the liberal policy
OF the management, for It affords the contest
ants better opportunity to equal Iexington's
time and earn the extra SIS, 900 which in that
case will go to the winner. Bouquet should not
only win. but he should also easily beat Lexing-
tons time, 7l9A.
A Kentucky correspondent of the New York
Turf, Field and Farm writes: "A sensation
has been caused here in horse circles bv pri-
vate announcement that 100 head of English
thoroughbred yearlings were to be sold in New
York next spring | talked with prominent
breeder on the subject. and among other things
he said Yes. the report is undoubtedly true
and there will probably be more than hun
dred offered. Under the present tariff laws
thoroughbred horses can be imported free of
duty for breeding purposes, and, of course.
will ostensibly be sold for that purpose. This
will not proven: their owners racing them until
they are retired to the stud. Prices of thor
oughbreds in England have been ruling low.
owing to the tightness of the money market
there, and should the imported year
lings realize good prices there is no
telling where this thing will STOP
have several hundred thousand dollars in
vested in breeding plant. and should New
York become market for English youngsters
am satisfied that my business will be mate
rally injured, and know it will affect the bus
mess Of every other breeder in the United
States. The breeding of thoroughbreds in this
country has grown to be an enormous bust
ness. and hope some of the Congressman will
see their way clear to pass laws that will pro-
tect this great industry. The importation Of
aged horses is all right and within the spirit of
the present law, but if English yearlings are
brought here to compete with ours, the business
will be seriously crippled, and the earning
value OF the vast amount Of money invested
in thoroughbred studs will be materially less
ened.''
