Circuit Ssres for 1905.

$4,000 each in stakes and purses last summer.
These eight leading sires, with the amount of
money by the get Of each. are as follows:
Adben, $15,275 Gregory the Great, S12939; Ex-
pedition, So 705; Peter the Great. S12,65O: AL

rectum. $14,S70: Strong Boy. S14.S00; Paris,
S14,125, and Galileo Rex $105O0. Most of these
totals, it viii be noticed, were much larger in
1904 than in 1906 The reason for this was
partly the calling off of of the richest
stakes this year, and partly because the prize
money divided among larger number of
sres.
Adbell. the son Of Advertiser, owes his place
at the head Of the list this year to the excellent
performance Of Miss Adbell in the futurities,
this filly winning less than $11.0J0 Two
other FLIES. Miss Adbell. pacing, and Rosabel,
made up the total of SIS, ,275. which is unusually
small for a leading sire. It is. in fact only half
of what Mckinney totalled in 1904.
Gregory the Great, the Wilkes Boy stallion,
sent only one winner to the races this year, the
bay mare Angola, but this good performer won
S12, ,939. which enough to put the son of

Burns. Lyddite and Tommy Burns helped out a
little.
oddly enough, rot one of the eight leading
sires Of 1904 was represented in the leaders OF
1905. This indeed, is most ,? unusual VI s,,0. to-

fast classes In 1904 it was Sweet Marie which
swept the Grand Circuit stakes as Billy Bush
