would be willing to bet that this
does not cover more than two-thlrds
by Mr.. Raldwin's horaes. to say nothing
whatever of purses; and should anyone
offer to bet me that the Santa Anita
stable had won a million, should bet
on over rather than under that mark.
1t takes as good horse to win stake
worth $1,000 aa it does to run five purse
races OF $1,000 each; hence. while | feel
that this showing hardly does Santa

other farms can make.
Hon. l.. J. Rose, after trying the
thoroughbreds once before, has gone
back to them again and ne has my best
wishes for success. In 1890 the cen
ator sent me down to Australia to buy
him some mares. Things were husE
there and nobody who had anything OF
the highest grade wanted to sell. After
| came back he closed out every hoof
but some yearlings.. Out of IA mares II
were scrificed for less than cost, while
three that cost him $2825 were sold for
81, $50 and II all his horses had been in
the same order and fit to 90 into a sale
ring they would have sold at like profit.
The other IL went immcnsely low, one
mare bringing 500 for which | gave
$1,000 in Melbourne. Her present
owner declined to part with her at
$2500 last year. OF all this
depreciation | got the full benefit,
everybody saying that l had bought
lot of trash and given it to him.
.where the chicken got the AK"
have never once answered my de-
tractors. The figures at Sacramento
last year answered them to some extent.
The three yearlings sold for $500. and
that was consolation. The Senator
has good horse in Nevada, and be-
lieve he will prove successful sire.
Simeon G. Reed, who .ama6sed for
tune in steamboating on the Columbia
river and made another in the C@ur
d'Alene mineB.- is the latest accession to
the thoroughbred ranks. He is a shrewd
man and good manager, and ought to
make epoon before he -RpailR horn.
He IL uur sfrsi4 u 80 ePa.d- his mnnav for
high-claHs horses, as was seen by his
$4,000 purchase OF the English stallion
Martinburch. who died on his
arrival at the new breeding quarters
known as "Oneonta." MIR. Reed, SO far
from being discouraged by this mis-
hap, at once telegraphed to England
and bought DencomDe, handsome
horse OF the VoItaire line, being
son of specuum and out of splendid
Melbourne line on the dams side.
Duncombe is splendid individual and
nobody can say that he is ''all pedigree
and no horse" Mr.. Reed bought some
fine mares in England to mate with
Martenhurst and, at the recent Hearst
dispersal sale he bought several mares OF
Australian blood, being by Goldsbrough
end The Drummer. Whether hedid so ON
the advice OF anybody else | do not
know, but | do know that the Austria
liam stallion Splendor, bred very much
like Duncombe has got all his best
horses from daughters of Goldsbrough
and The Drummer.
Mrs. s. B. Wolfskill, who lives near
the Soldiers homo, has bred some good
horsee and has an Australian sire called
Plenty who is turning out some very
high-formed horses. Mrs. Wolfskill has
about eight mares and ought to have at
least dozen more to ne mated with her
magnificent gray horse, whom | consider
nearly perfect in form. He is 10 hands
high and, but for an accident, would
probably have won the Caulfeld cup OF
1890. Just now he is wasting for want
OF opportunities. Five thousand dollars
would put him on an even footing with
the very best sires in the state.
Mr.. W. J. Thompson OF Glendora
owns the imported stallion Conveth, by
Favonius {winner of the Derby OF 1871
out OF Crscovienne by Trumpeter from
Cachucha by Voltizern. 1t is from this
line that the famous imported stallion
Quicklime is bred.
In few years mora we shall see half
q dozen Kentucky thoroughbred stock
farms transplanted to Southern Califor-
mia, The reason is obvious-a milder
climate means less feed and less labor
about the stables during the winter
months. Mr.. Lorillard will be here in
a few days to spend the winter, and re
he is cutting down, his breeding estab-
lishmsnt at Rancoco very rapidly, it
would not surprise me if he saved the
cream of that establishment and moved
out here with about two stations and
20 mares. ga sia e, S.s sa
have seen good horses in Kentucky
Oregon and Australia; and have seen
no country to equal this as the natural
home of the horse. "Give me the Santa
Anita water supply in; Australia,v y said
W. r. e. de B. Lopez, land will raise
a Cambria and an Abercorn every day
in the week." He spoke truly. There
is no country that equsls this as horse
producing country, and expect to see
it surpass Kentucky if l live to see a
10th birthday. 1.-THE wish is father to
the thought" HIDALGo.
