trap and as result most OF the injured
suffered broken limbs or painful cuts.

BLOW TO HORSE BREEDERS
European War Seems to Make Pros
pect of American Thoroughbred
Gloomy.

1T will take years for the thor
oughbred of America to get back to
the high state of perfection 1t occu-
pied ten years ago, now that the only
hope of improving the strain has been
cut off by the war in Europe re-
marked J. p Mayberry, well known
horseman Of Sheepshead Bay, at the
Raleigh, the Washington Post states.
The inimical laws enacted in the
various states, particularly in New
York, in the last ten years checked
the improvement Of the breed, and
the American thoroughbred has been
steadily going backward ever since.
Any one who knows anything about
the thoroughbred type knows that the
American thoroughbred of today does
not compare with the racer of five
years ago When the antiracing laws
Of New York drove the sport out Of
the Empire state in 1910 many OF
the breeders of Thoroughbred those
who had helped largely to build up
the horse In America-began to dis
pose CT their horses. Many were
shipped abroad, ana in four years
more than fifty per cent Of the best
thoroughbred stock has gone back to
Europe.
Reports from the warning nations
are to the effect that the countries
that have been foremost in improving
the thoroughbred, England. France.
Germany and Austria-the seat OF the
warm all probability will command
eer most Of the racers Of the European
turf. If this be so it will remove al
most the last hope the turf has to
rebuild the rapidly diminishing quail
ity of the American thoroughbred

years ago. There is not a real good
horse on the American turf at THE
time, whereas 4 dozen years ago there
