OF the Atlantic, CFoker is a great
admirer of the English system OF
breeding and the results IL has pro.

bred horses will begin to compare
with the English horses until several
years.
Croker conflded that he was re.
luctant TO take part In the English
meetings while the war is in prog

heves, to state that his horses again
