last Saturday for Europe, there was
one shipment which, in many of its
features, was the most notable that has
gone from this country. Briefly, it was
the removal of Charles Fleischmann'
breeding stud from New Jersey to to
Austria. All told there We're 81 head,
exclusive of the foals which went with
their dams, most of the stock being
brood mares.
Another feature worth noting is that
all of these foals will rank as inlanders
when they come TO race horse age, and
as most of the mares are also in foal,
Mr.. Fleischmann should have, next
year, a very large and promising band
of youngsters for entry in the many
rich. but strictly European stakes.
This shipment increases the number
of American bred trotters in Austria
by nearly 30 head. and it is no eXag
geration to say by as well bred lot as
ever went over.
