omen Who have been predicting the de-
cadence Of the British turf and the
coming bankruptcy OF British breeders
OF tnOroughbreds find scant comfort in
the recent sale at Newmarket. When
one breeder sells part of his stud for
S4200 900 and has some OF his best ami
mails left, and a weeks sale approaches
ths $4,000 mark. II can hardly be said
the business Is languishing 20 any aD-
preciable extent.

merit bring from Sl25 600 10 sl5O. 600 each.

A fact which demonstrates that Eng
land still IL Ia the van in the breeding
OF race horses is that representatives
Of practically every racing country were
present at the Newmarket sales and bid
high for good lots. There has been the
usual outcry because some OF the best
horses went 70 foreigners. The Sport

their singing all the tragedy and pathos
Of Longfell0w's words. Such choral beau
ties are not often heard.
Miss Lola Johnson has a soprano voice
Of cleaTness and beauty. She sang THE
Young Indian Maid and Beauty Song,
accompanied by MI CoIeridge-Taylor.
