rhe Development of the Breeding Of
Hooded Horses Bost0n,s New
Euterprise-The Great Charter Oak
Park Colt Stakes-Rhode Island
state Farm-New York Horse Ex-
h1bitiOn.
The growth and development of the light |
harness horse in this country has been |
rapid and eventful. What contributed in |
a great measure to this development has
sale.
Years ago the only method of disposing
of the thousands of horses raised in the
United States was by private sale, and it
was master mind that first conceived the
idea of the combination sale.
This term is used in contra distinction to
the ordinary auction sale, as being the
method applied by the highest class of
breeders in efecting the purchase of stock,
and the intermingling of the products of
their farms through that fairest of methods
on earth-when properly applied-the auc-
ton block.
The style of disposing of horses origin
ated in Kentucky and has grown SO that
now Lexington is one of the greatest horse
markets in the United States. The mar
ket at New FORK handles principally Cali
fornia stock and it is rapidly becoming
clear that New England in it's increase in
the business of raising horses must pro-
vide itself with an auction mart as fully
up to it's requirements as that which Lex
| ington gives to Kentucky or New York to
California bred stock.
Boston, from its location, the amount of
| wealth which is represented in the horse
| interests, and the liberal support which
has always characterized the operations of
her leading horeemen, is we'll fitted to fill
the bill, and proposes now to have sale
l place of its own.
The Arena building, built originally for
| Sightseeing, has been arranged 80 that now
| there is straightaway stretch of 1876 feet,
| a circle of close on 20 100 feet at the end
| of the ring, a tanbark bottom, which will
| give the best footing to the colts offered
| for sale, and one of the most comfortable
| places to sit and watch the youngsters or
matuyed horses being sold.
The protector of this mammoth enter
prise is Mr.. Charles 81. Thayer, gentle
| man whose connection with Boston's most
/ successful amusements is of long standing
and thoroughly recognized.
A meeting in the furtherance of this en-
terprise will be held May II.
The Spirit of the Times and the New
York Sportsman will consolidate their in
terests on the 30th of this month. About
that time the Spirit will issue daily edi-
ton, devoted to the turf, drama and sports
of every kind in every part of the world
This move has undoubtedly been FASTENED
l by the increased, interest in these matters,
which have been covered by the news
dailies.
The horse exhibition to be given in New
York by the United States Horse and Cat
tie society on the six days from May te
IA should be very enjoyable. 1t is to bt
at open air affair, where horses will
and where jumpers can be jumped
| are to be exhibited this season, but in flu
ture years cattle and sheep will participate
The society has leased ground at One Hun
dred and Fifty-ffth street and Eight
avenue, where excellent stable accommo
dations have been provided and covere'
stands erected to hold 10000 persons
Liberal prizes are offered, the classes bein
similar to those of the Madison Squar
Garden show. Information can be had a
the society's Office, 1855 Broadway.
