Horses Not Thoroughbred
Winning Races in England

fains the pedisrees OF about 200 race
horses not eligible to registration as

the number Is steadily increasing with
each succeeding season. Noted winners,
like Sir Martin, Irish Elegance, Shotgun,
Outram and Prospector are among the

American horsemen are apparently not
impressed with the Importance of thor

judging from the fact that Sir Martin is
now a stock horse in the stud CT Joh.,

of the most successful breeders in the

Spanish Commission Buying Horses
For Export i'm Our Western Markets

Buyers of work horses for eastern

stion from foreign bidders in the last
few weeks at western auction sales.
Chief competition comes from Spanish
commissioners now in the United States

from 1872 to 1873 hands, weighing from
1900 to 1900 pounds. For good ones
of this style they have paid as much
as $500, which Is considerably more

to supply the home demand. Several
New York shippers and dealers who
were trying to buy in Illinois. Iowa and
other corn belt States last week came
in with few horses for which they had
to give a good deal more than the local
trade justified them In paying. they
said.

News of the Kennels
by FRANK r. DOLE

A number of breeds OF dogs in this
country are heavily indebted to women
for an interest which has kept them up
when their popularity threatened to
wane. OF no breed is this truer than
OF the collie. These fine dogs were
giving way before newcomers but have
been held up. in no inconsiderable part,
by the women interested In them. One
can only imagine where the collles
would be If 1t were not for the efforts
Of such women as Mrs. C. N Lunt,
Mrs. May McCurdy and Mrs. Florence
3. Heb.
The collies here contain fully as
many representative specimens of their
breed as have any other branch of the
canine family. This country will have
what will be undoubtedly the greatest
kennel Of collies in the world when Mrs.
Ilch receives a shipment from England
she hopes will! arrive In time for the
Tuxedo show on October a She some
months ago imported Laund Logic, a
great collie, and now has some fully as
important additions.
As has been reported, Ralph Lord,
founder of the great Seedley Kennels,
IN England, has died and Mrs. Ilch has
been able to purchase some of the fine
dogs owned by his estate now controlling
the kennels The best of those she
has purchased is. perhaps. Champion
Seedley Solution. which some English
critics have termed the best tri-color
bitch ever bred. She is by Laund Logic

months-old daughter, Sedley' Snowdrop,
by Treffynon Squire. Snowdrop has al
ready attracted attention In England, In
spite OF her youth.
Not only has Mrs. Ilch bought good
dogs but she has engaged Mike Ken
nedy to condition and show them. Ken
nedy Is a past master in getting collies
into ideal show-ring form and In no
small measure can be given credit for
the victories Of the Eellhnven Kennel
dogs. the name under which Mrs. Itch
shows
Nothing. however, should be said TO
detract from the credit due Mrs. Itch.
She has boldly gone out and spent up
ward OF S15. 900 in less than year to
bring good dogs TO this country. More
over, she has done II without seeing the
dogs and has assumed the risk or get

printed In the English papers. As an
almost invariable rule. criticism of dogs

curate and fair. Therefore. Mrs. Itch
was not entirely unguided in making her
purchases. However, II takes lot OF
courage to buy. unseen, a dog costing

THE BAD-MONEY DISEASE.

What does it matter what the for
eign rate of exchange is, except to the
bankersY some people still ask Well,
it may matter a good deal, to the farm
ers and manufacturers and everybody
else. Consider these facts about the re-
suit in England from the fall of the Ger
man mark, given out by the United
States department of agriculture:
The British market has been flooded
with German potatoes, in spite of the
fact that 'horo was a bumper crop in
England. In consequence, potatoes are
selling at almost any price the pur-
chaser will give.
The British market, too, is flooded
with Danish butter. to the point of de-
moralization. That comes about because
Germany. which normally buys much
Danish butter, can buy it no longer on
account of the worthlessness of German
money, and so the supply seeks an out
let in England
Likewise apples and many other agri-
cultural products are coming into Great
Britain in vast quantities from Ger
many and other continental countries
whose money is badly deprecated.
The Reorganization of British mar
kets by this flood of imports is not the
only factor of interest. 1t is to be noted
that while Britain does not need the
products. in most cases the countries
sending them need them badly. Thus
the Germans themselves could use pota-
toes their farmers are shipping abroad.
| They cannot buy them, however, because
| their money is so inferior to English
money,
The whole interviewer economic sys-
TEN of many nations seems to be upset
whenever any important nation hampers
with its currency. 1t is like tamperine
ignorantly with the mysterious glands
that control the functions of the human
body.
