less interesting to the average racing
man, not because they symbolic the
mere monetary success of the stables,
but because they help to show which
of them have won the great prizes of
the turf, the trophies which the ableSt
men in America plan to win, if they
can, for years before they are decided,
and with horses of their own breeding
also, if possible.
Thus Mr.. Keene can glance with
satisfaction at the success achieved by
his horses, almost every one of whom
were foaled at his CastletOn stud The
! same applies to the horses which ran
in the name of H. B. Duryea, all of
whom were bred by the late w. G.
Whitney, with the exception of Irish
Lad and Gunfire. In addition to the
$500, 900 won by the Duryea stable, at
tention is drawn to the $54, 600 won by
e. r. Thomas Stalwart, who was also
bred by Mr.. Whitney, while Dolly
Spanker. who won nearly $24 600 for
r. T. Wilson, Jr., was a produce of
Mr.. Keene'S stud.
Beldame. as is of course known to all,
is owned by August Belmont, her
breeder, and the $50, 615 won by her, but
standing in the name of Newton Ben
ningtOn, does not lessen the potency or
the argument that the present strength
of the turf in the east is largely due to
the deep interest which so many
wealthy men of affairs have in 1t.
Therefore the preponderance Of the
amateur element on the eastern turf,
which is not the case in any other part
of the country where racing at present
exists, is the main source OF self-con-
graduation on the part of those who
desire to see it perpetuated, as much
for the high type OF entertainment
which it affords to the pubic as Tor
it's lasting benefit upon the horse itself.
