Turner comes over for the purpose OF

He has purchased an estate at Chanttlly.

LONDON, Dec. l0.-Here Is a sample
OF John Bulls nerve. as published in q
sporting sheet. He says; by some pc
cuiiar providence, England is the matriN
of almost all high-class stock. and you
can no more maintain breed of such
elsewhere for any long time than voii
can make Stilton cheescs outside of Still
ton area. or Cheshire cheeses outside OF
the Cheshire. II is not only thorough
breds. but horses OF all classes. that arc
drawn from this country TO improve tho
breed in all parts of the world.
"Our French friends must al least un-
derstand that they would not describe
their thoroughbred mares in their Own
stud book as 'Poulimjeres Anglaises' If
they did not most thoroughly accept the
origin OF the blood horse In this coun-
try. and there. OF course, they can treat
the bulk Of the American bred stock as
taboo Thore is no mare IN the French
book-.eXcept. OF course, the Anglo Arabs
which cannot be traced at all points

LONDON, Dec. 10,-In the divisional
court before the lord chief Justice, an
appeal was heard by Jack Stead, the
bookmaker from a decision OF the
Poutefract magistrates. who convicted
him OF an offense under the street bet
ting act.
The charge against Stead was that he
betted during the meeting contrary to
the act, At the entrance to the field
was a notice stating that betting was
prohibited. The magistrates found that
the field was not registered as a race
course, and not laid out for a race
course. The question which had to be
decided was whether the ground used for
the purpose of q sports meeting and a
race course came within the exemption
in the street betting act.
The appeal was dismissed.
