On an average our mediocre horses are better
than theirs. At FIRST sight these may seem con
nicting assertions They are. however. easily eI-
planned.
All our best horses come from English stock.
Al far back as revolutionary days they we're
brought TO this coantry. In the sos and 4os such
animals as Glencoe. bennington and Diomed
found American homes.
= They formed the nucleus Of the string Of Ameri-
can t~hororghbreds which to-day hid fair to equal
their rivals on the English turf.
N those days races we're longer than II present.
and to that fact ! attribute the tough and wiry
q%ualities then acquired by horses.
Now the shorter race has come into vogue.
There is no doubt that both the speed and endur-
anee OF thoroughbreds are lessened BY reduced re-
aulrements.
w must take into account. when We say that
hrut- class horses On the English turf excel our
own, that Il Is no fault OF American trainers The
reason Why We cannot produce q similar class here
lies In the fact that nothing can induce English
owners to part with the creme de Ia creme %
their stocks. Diamond Jubilees are scarce. and
when once perfected are ~zealously retained.
