II have been frequently asked Of late II I
| did not think that, ms far as high prices ar.
| concerned. tho bottom was beginning to drop
| out Of the bus mess Of breeding the trottinp
horse" said Senator Stanford last evening
when discussing tho future Of tho breeding in.
| forests Of the country.
ITO speak frankly. do not think II is. While
II is truc that low prices prevailed ut the re-.
| cont sales in New York Of my stock. as we'll AZ
| those OF other California breeders. there were
| certain reasons why bids did not average
| higher. l am not at all satisfied with
| tho average prices received for nv stock,
| do not think there was single colt OF mine
| scld ut the recent sale that could not have
shown forty gait II he had been developed. l
| have been taught valuable lesson. l shall de.
| vclop the colts In my next consignment.
| Every colt In the lot will have demo strated
| that he possesses speed before he leaves the
| paddocks OF Palo Alto
did not the fact that the major portion OF
| the consignment were from untried sires also
have something to do with the low prices that
prevailedI"
Unquestionably 80. but nevertheless he.
iovc that every colt sold is capable. in proper
hands. OF getting low mark. and am firmly
Of the belief that every purchaser got bar
gain. However. DO that as 1t may. I shall be
able in tho future to demonstrate that my
young sires can throw speed at the trot, and
that the get OF Electioneer will breed on and
on. AS soon rs saw how the tide was run.
ming made up my mind that there was one
colt by Azmoor dam BY thorou ehbred Don
Victor. that should not DO sacrificed and 80
withdrew him and presented him to friend
rather thnn see him 60 for q low price. Then.
too. outside OF very small circle Of
Eastern breeders. there IL much preju.
dice cast OF the Rockies against what
is classed as running bred foolishness in
tho trotter.' and this notwithstanding tho
fact that there does not exist to-day single
trottinR horse that has attained low record
that does not possess more or less Of what 10
denominated as running foolishness' Lilo
is too short and time too precious to waste
