statement made by him today, intends TO
give Up the stable OF harness horses
with which he has won so many cups
and blue ribbons. and will sail for Eng
land May IL with the intention of pur-
chasing there string of thoroughbred
English hunters. which will probably be
one of the finest. if not the best, i'm this
country
More than usual interest attaches to
Mr. McLean's statement today, for the
reason that many persons have been ex-
pectipg him to buy some of the Selig
horses from New York or the Bushnell
horses from Ohio, with which his own
string has been competing at the Ma
tional Capital horse show. now going on
in Washington These horses which are
also harness horses. have been Mr.. Nc
Leans principal competitors, and the re-
PORT that he would buy or offer to buy
some of them has been persistent. espe-
cially as he purchased some of the
horses of former Senator Watson of
West Virginia, against which he COM
peted at the Washington and other horse
shows last year.
Doesn't Intend to Buy.
Mr.. Mclean said today that he has no
intention of purchasing any Of the har-
ness horses entered in the show. and
doubted very much that he would buy
any of the hunters.
Il expect to get rid of my own string
of harness horses he said. Il want to
establish a stable OF hunters. Harness
horses are not being driven as much as
as much :nteres: in them as there once
was. j am going to England May II,
and / shall gather together some thor
oughbred English hunters on the other

There will undoubtedly be great in.

Mr.. McLeans string of harness horses

the important horse shows in the east

years ago. They have won about 200 blue
