Accountant Runs Ahead of the
French and English
Horses.
Captures $4,000, Against

$4,000 for Keystone II.

NEW YORK, December 1.-Incomplete
statistics on English racing for the season
just coming to an end tend to show that
In several respects the results Appropriated
those on the turf in this country. In Ac-
countant, however. America has a money
winner that runs several thousands ahead
of the greatest winner on British courses,
and even ahead of Spearmint, whose prin-
cipal money was gained in France by the
capture OF the Grand Prix de Paris Ac-
countant's aggregate In nine victories was
nearly $s1 600, against Spearmint's less
than $4,000, including his French success
His lone. but important victory in England
was in the classic Derby, with value Of
$32 $50.
Winnings in England.
The largest amount of money won by any
one horse in England was about 49,, 000
by Keystone II, the great three-year-old
daughter of Persimmon, and accounted the
champion of her age. The credit Of win
ming over $4,000 is also held by three
other runners-Troutbeck, Bridge of Canny
and Dinneford. 1t is rather rema rkable
that keystone II and Dinneford won only
three races apiece, but the latter captured
the Princess of Wales stakes, the most
valuable turf event but one of the entire
season. Another big winner Llangibby,
has only one victory to his credit, but that
the Eclipse stakes, the richest prize
Of the year. worth $46,425.
The eight leading English sires of 1905
up to the present time are Ladas and Per-
smmon, the produce of each having won
nearly 100000; Carbne, $4,000; Gallinule,
1000; Ayrshire, $1,000; Love Wisely,
$4,000; Isnglass, $4,000, and Marco, $780,.
600 There fourteen sires in tile list
with over $4,000 to their credit and nearly
a dozen others close to that figure These
figures indicate that there has been more
equality among the leading sireS during
1906 than for many years previously. Last
season Galllnule, lsinglass, st. Frusquin
and Cyllene stood ahead of the figures of
Ladas and Persimmon this year, with cor
responding decrease in the winnings OF
those that followed.
Leading American Sires
In America nine Of the leading sires are
credited with over $4,000 EACH and the
produce of eighteen are credited with over
$4,000. 1t will thus be seen that the figures
do not vary greatly. The leading American
sire. however. runs nearly a third ahead of
Pers1mmon and Ladas. This is Meddler,
whose get have captured nearly $50, 900 in
stakes and purses up to the present time
Next to Meddler stands Voter, $4,000; Fill
cress. $1,000; Hastings, s71,OO0; Ornament
$4,000: Ben Strome, $4,000, and Wools-
thorpe, 100000. Five of the nine are i'm

season was Polar Star, grandson of Gallo
pin, by Pioneer-Go On, bred by Col. Walker
Hall in Ireland and raced by that gentle
man. Polar Star, however was not the
greatest money winning juvenile, as he is
credited with only $4,000, as against Ira
quairs $4,000. Here again the similarity
Of the results in the two countries be
seen. for Salvidere. the acknowledged
champion of the juvenile brigade in Ameri-
ca was short by 5000 of reaching the
total rolled up by Electioneer. Both are
credited with over $4,000. Polar Star, like
Salvidere was not nightly thought Of as
yearlng, and neither is well engaged for
next season. Both were scrubby-looking
yearlings, and 1t was thought a waste OF
forfeits to engage them freely in the rich
specials for three-year-oids
