Letters from many breeders
throughout the United states inform
us that during the past week the
bookings to stations has materially
increased, in fact in many instances
stations are doing better business
than last year. While IN some local
tiles this will not hold good, yet from
all quarters the report is made that
the average quality of matrons bred
or booked is great deal higher than
during any year previous. This
showing points to the fact that breed
ers have needed the sigus Of the
times, and will hereafter breed only
the class of animals that are now and
will for all time be in demand.-

youngsters do not find their way into
their list at two or three, and thu
indications are that before many
years the yearling $3.50 list will b,
quite factor in judging strains o
blood. In the evolution OF the trOt
ting breed the history of the thor
oughbred is merely repeating itself
