OLD BANQUET IN ENGLANl

Peter DeIacy has been knocked down
ct the first blow. He has been soundiy.
trounced, and In short order. Neverthe-
less. Peter is about again with a chip on
his shoulder. and makes the announce
ment that he viii don war paint once
more. Anybody who received such
lovely black eye as was bestowed upon
Peter last week may well put on more
war paint. But when Referee Van Hoe
sen makes his decision before the court
of common pleas the first Monday In De-
cember II is doubtful II Peters war paint
or braggadocio will avail him much. The
case Of Judson VS.. Flushing Jockey club
was clearly a collusive one. and whether
there is punishment to fit the crime the
courts VIII doubtless decide In due
course.
The Jockey club stewards are wrest-
ling with the question as to who viii be
official starter. Among the applicants
are c. ]. Fitzpatrick. Snapper" Garri-
son. James +. Caldwell, Tom Flynn.
Captain #. @. Johnson. James McI.augh-
hin. Dick Dwyer and Colonel L. 3. Hatch.
In the past season the rhoroughbreds
raised In New Jersey have certainly more
than held their own. Out Of a total of
112 horses which compose the strings of
the 10 beading winning owners, and which
have won $4,000. II were raised within
so miles of New York. These II are cred
tied with s1l5.000 out OF the above-men-
toned $4,000. Requital leads the way
with a little over s5s.0O0. and in connec-
ton with him tt Is pleasing TO know that
he Is back at the place of his birth. and

of where he gamboled by the side of his
dam. the blue-blooded Retribution.
Ona Iowa who nj go roamed hv har
dams side in the BrooiSdale pastures and
who is the particular pet of Colonel
Thompson's family. is credited with over
5000.
Sufficient Is another Brookdale-bred one
who contributes to the sum total, and
there are quite a number of other win
ners, although not included In the II who
are under notice.
Hazlet. who was bred at the Silver
Brook stud farm, L. o. Appleby's splen-
didly appointed place, is credited with
5000. while the champion horse, Henry
Of Navarro. credits the Blenton stable
with over 5000. Knight of Ellerslie's
son won more than this during the sea-
son. but that plays no part In this arti-
ole. There are also several other winners
who hailed from Silver Brook stud farm.
From the Ramapo stud farm came the
grandracehorse Ramapo. The blaze-faced
son OF Pontiac won a little over 5000,

fore the Suburban was run. that event
would have been practically at his
mercy.

and numerous other winners during the
season hailed from this world-famous es-
Establishment.
er1ng the comparatively sman number of
thoroughbreds raised In New Jersey, the
above Is really a marvellous showing
both as regards quantity and quality III
demonstrates that although there may be
in some respects other pants of the coun-
try with greater natural advantages for
raising thoroughbreds, still men having
the necessary capital to go into the
breeding business and do things in the
thorough fashion in which Brookdale
Silver Brook and Rancocas were estab-
fshed and have been conducted Will more
than hold their own against men who are
breeding with little or no capital behind
them, and consequently at a great dis
advantage in many ways.
