Forty-two yearlings from the Rancho
del Paso farm, the property of Mr.. J. B.
Haggn, were shipped to England on Satur-
day. September 8, as an experiment. Mr..
Haggin, their breeder-owner, believes that
the old world is in need of fresh American
stock. The yearlings were shipped on the
steamer Alexandria, and were under the
personal care of Mr.. Haggin's manager,
John Mackey. There Is no reason why
these youngsters should not find ready
demand in the English market, and the
experiment will be watched with great in
terest by all American breeders.
c. A Durfee, formerly of Los Angeles,
left Portland several weeks ago for his
home in Oakland, Cal, taking with him the
great young sire, Mckinney, 2:11A. Miss
Jessie, 2:14, and lot of young McKinneys.
Mckinney did fairly well here in the stud,
and with one exception Mr.. Durfee coll
lected everything due him, precedent that
should be adhered to closely by other stall
lion owners in Oregon, which would soon
put the breeding business on more SUBJ
stantial basis. A few men like Mr.. Dur
fee would soon revolutionize the breeding
business and place it on higher plane

Martimas, winner of the Futurity, was
one of those finds that seldom come even
once in lifetime. William Hendrie, tire
"Canuck" turfman, while on visit to Ken
lucky a year ago, saw the then yearlfng
son of Candlemas at exercise. Mr.. Hendrie
offered $3.50 for the colt, and the offer was
accepted. Martimas was taken north and
like an the Canadian contingent, was treat
ed to course of training in the snow.
The altered conditions appeared to agree
with the youngster and fitted him for the
championship of his year.
Barney Schreiber beat all competitors to
the name Dewey, just plain Dewey, for
a youngster that he hopes will sweep the
boards clean in the stakes Of 1900 The
equine namesake of the hero of Manila is
a slashing bay colt by the Australian sire
Foul Shot, and his dam the brood mare
America, a pedigree that makes the name
neatly appropriate.

show being a great success. 1t is the aim
of the managers of the association to cater

not interfering with the ordinary features
Of the horse show, will serve to place this
on somewhat different. lines from any horse
show hitherto held in the United States.
