California and Kentucky Stocked With 1000
Thoroughbred Broodmares and Stations.

Special Correspondence OF The Sunday Republic.
Lexington. KY, April ia thousand
brood mares roam the hills and dales of the
Rancho del Paso and Elmendo-f studs of
multimillionaire James B. Haggin. The
California breeder has gone beyond the
widest dreams of all horse enthusiasts. Six
millions is representative of his investments
in thoroughbreds, with the outlay required
for their keep and maintenance. And he Is
still buying. Like q book worm seeking
rare editions he deives in the horse market
OF the world looking for the choicest Of
brood mares and stations. and he has
gathered together the greatest collection
that the world has ever seen, or probably
ever will see.
His representative Is at every sale. and he
has agents constantly employed across the
Atlantic to search for thoroughbred gems
OF the old world. The colonies. too. have
surrendered to him their almost priceless
mares and stations, and he owns to-day a
representative OF every tribe of horses
French. Australian and American stud
books. Towering like an oak above the
cedars Is this California Croesus of the
breeding world. England. France and Aus
tralia have yet to see his counterpart, and
beside him the other breeders OF America
are but pigmies.
The famous Blenkiron Stud Of the old
odvO III LuSlduu, Inc HlSlOIlC beiIe MedQS.
the Royal Stud at Hampton Court, and
even the extensive McGrathiana pale into
lnsiRnihcance beside his two enormous
breeding establishments. j. B. Haggin has
made a new chapter in the annals of breed
Ing and rearing t~horoughbreds. To-day he
owns three times as many mares as any
other breeder in the world. and they are
the best that money can buy.
