AMERICAN TALENT
II Women, Actors and Horses Much
Desired in England

New York. Feb. 2.-The Earl Of Clon-
mel. who paid $4,000 for Frankfort. the
brother OF Hamburg. at the sale Of the
Bitter Root stable at Madison Square
garden. said in an interview:
american blood in England is most
popular just now. At the court American
women hike the Duchess of Marlborough,
Lady Randolph Churchill and Lady
Curzon are reigning favorites.
In the theaters American players are
enjoying a great English popularity, and
despite all present clouds and differences
there is no doubt the American jockey
has done great things on the English
turf, 50 why not the American horsez
The earls further purchases were
largely of imported strains, but his CHIEF
purchase is his sincere interest Of pro-
curing the best available American
blood. When he was asked for an ex-
preston of opinion as to the probability
of the permanent exclusion Of American
Jockeys from the British turf. the earl
guardedly refrained from any decided
opinion.
This is the era Of good feeling" he
declared. and with much warmth he
praised the sportsmanlilxe spirit and lib
crafty Of such American horsemen as
Mr. Whitney. the Belmonts- and others
"Till the King Of England continue to
run horses as he did while Prince OF
Wales2" he was asked
''Of course I am not in a position to
know anything of his majesty's plans,
but since racing is the sport of kings
why should he nOt2''
At any rate whether the familiar cOlors
of the former prince continue to run at
Newmarket. there is small doubt King
Edward viii continue to take a warm
interest in turf affairs.
The horses of Lord C1onmel viii for
the present be quartered at Old Mon
mouth park under the care of Trainer
Chas F. Hill This does not mean that
the Irish nobleman intends to race in
this country. The collection will be sent
abroad and raced in England and Ire
land
Lord Clonme1 was the largest foreign
purchaser at the sale.

GRAIN TRUST sQUIRMs.
Bucklinss Position Is strengthened
by the Lobby.


The fact that the Kansas Grain Deal
ers' association has instituted a strong
lobby to work against BucIxlin's bill IS
taken as a tacit admission on the parr
OF the friends or the bill that such a
trust exists. The grain men are not
afraid of the Farrelly antitrust law
now on the statutes because it is up-
wieldy. The Bucklin bill is simpler II
its provisions and one section in partic-
ular. allowing any individual to go into
the courts with a grievance is what
troubles them most If they cannot de-
feat the bill they will work to have this
provision modified.
The fight over the bill yesterday has
brought it into so much attention that /.
is being read and the succeeding devel-
opments seems to be gaining supporters
for the bill
The trust fighters claim to have a copy
of the constitution and bylaws OF the
Grain Dealers association of Kansas
and are circulating copies of the follow
ing paragraph, this morning.
Article 6, section f. 1t shall be the
duty of every member of this associa-
ton who learns of any commission firm,
receiver or track buyer soliciting or en-
couraging shipments from farmers or
irregular dealers, to report the name of
said commission firm or receiver, to-
gether with the facts in the case, to the

claims to pay all the taxes, 81. 400 being
the sum in the last two years, and in
one district a single family has the snap
of drawing the whole district appropria-

for this. He would have steps taken to
correct the particular abuse. but retain
funds which system other counties are
taking up and Bucklin has q general bill
