ognized the world over as animals OF
the highest standard type.
With the realization of this condition,
the breeding OF horses will become one
of the leading industries of the State,
and the farmer will find 1t a profitable
vocation, while the buyers will well
come the advent, because their ship
ping will be reduced.
The bills Mr.. Frelinghuysen has
caused to be introduced are known as
Senate bills 1Q1 and 102. The purpose
of the former is to guard against the
use of stations for public service that
are afflicted with hereditary diseases,
thus preventing the creating of a fam
lily of unsound and useless horses. the
damaging effect of which to the breed
ing industry cannot be estimated.
The bill providing $4,000 to be spent
in purchasing German coach and Per-
cheron stations. is commendable, since
the passing of it will be a step in adj
vance of other States who have per-
mitted private corporations such as
jockey clubs to distribute Thoroughbred
stations. who have outlived their use
fuIness as racing tools. for the improve
ment of the breed Of horses.
The recent offer of $3.50 for a two
year-old by Baron Dillon, dam Servia,
2:25H, owned by DR.. NJ. o. F. Dolphin,
of this city, is evidence that the rails
ing Of horses is profitable. Another
ease was the sale of a yearling by
Chimes, at a country auction for $3.50.
Special Match being Arranged.
Should Inc arrangements now pend
ing be completed. visitors to Weequahic
Park during one of the matinees will
| witness the novel sight of three or more
t~wo-year-olds racing. The racing of
youngsters at this age III this section
is very rare.
Those at present Interested in this
race are George Stengel, who names
Pride OF Elkwood, by AxuIn, dam by
Orator; DR.. Dolphin will start the colt
by Baron Dillon, 2:12, dam by Servia-
2:251s, while w. d. Gulick will send
along the youngster of Baron Dillon,
dam by Bravado, 2:10A.
Harry Stengers recent purchase, a
four-year-old by Athel, promises to de-
velop into a speedy horse. While he
has no record, he does, however. show
a way Of going and sufficient speed to
encourage Mr.. Stengel to prepare him
for the matinee eaeon Regret, by
ORC Wilkes, 2:11, hat has been SUCH
an unlucky horse for the past two sea-
sons, is now taking his work in a man
ner which encourages MIR. Stengel to
believe that this year the son of the
Kentucky Futurity winner will come
into his own and annex many first
moneys.
George a. Oil. jr, has arranged with
trainer Steile to campaign his con-
sistent trotter Robert L.. jr., 2;19A, in
the same stable as Wilkes Heart, 2:06A,
the horse the clever reinsman cam
paigned SO successfully through the
Grand Circuit last season. Robert l..
has started in eighteen races and never
once been outside the money, which is
an enviable record. 1t is the belief of
many hat on a mile track Robert win
become a much better horse thar he
was on the minor rings. 1t is hoped
that Trainer STEELE will have the same
success with this horse as he did with
the Pride of Jersey.
The recent purchase of Baron Whips,
2:1lh, by Baron Dillon. dam by Whips,
by A. 6. Case, of Three Bridges, in
sures the continuing Of the racing of
this fast horse. He has been placed
in the stable of w. H. Coville, who viii
campaign him this season. 1t Is not
unlikely that at the CLOSE OF the racing
season, Baron will have a record much
faster than 2:10. Several Zines last
season he demonstrated he could travel
a mile much faster than his record.
