NOTES OF THE TTJBF The Special Commissioner of the London Sportsman says In an interesting conversa converse ¬ tion ion which I had with Mr Lorillard he fully agreed as to the palpable excellence of New haven II and exactly expressed my own ideas as to climatic influences in the breeding of race horses No farmer said he would dream of growing wheat year after year from seed raised on the same land and it is the same with pota ota ¬ toes or any other products of the soil You want climatic change in these things and so it is with horses You do right to bring Austral ¬ ian horses here They are sure to improve your stock I have not the slightest doubt that it i change of climate which makes a horse that has been a stud failure in England succeed when he goes to America or elsewhere and as I have often said if the Duke of Westminster would give old Bend Or a chance he would even yet sire a second Ormonde Hormone OrmondeOn Hormone On account of the owners of the best horses declining to meet Hamburg the race for the Brighton Cup now looks as if it will dwindle down to Hamburg Semper Simper Ego Don dOro Dora and probably Howard Mann It is much to be regretted that Ben Holladay Holland is not on hand so that the two Hanover horses could run first ana second and according to the record of cup races it might be the older horse that would finish first It seems rather late in the day for the owners of old horses to raise all this fuss over the scale of weights as they knew what the scale was when they made their entries It is time that owners woke up to the fact that they must do their share toward keeping up the high class end of racing as nothing draws with the public as do such events as the Brigh Bright ¬ ton Cup Morning Telegraph TelegraphIt Telegraphic It dont don't make any difference to St Louis what the outcome of the race war between Hawthorne and Harlem is going to be The sport is on a better footing in this city now than it has been in years The betting game at the Fair Grounds is simply immense Fifteen books cut in for three days Wednesday Wash ¬ ington Kingston Park with its big purses and all tlie lie good horses has only twenty Give St Lpuis Luis the same kind of racing Washington Park is enjoying ond bond there would be business for thirty books at the Fair Grounds St Louis Republic RepublicThere Republic There is some confusion about the sire of Rare Perfume On July 15 when he won the Brigh Bright ¬ ton Beach racing summary gives his description as a br c by His Highness or Ludwig dam Early Blossom No 7 of Goodwins Godwin Official Guide gives him as a b c by Ludwig and the Jockey Club Foals of 1895 and 1896 registered and named gives his sire as His Highness The Jockey Club registry is supposed to be official and in accordance with the report of the breeder If therefore it is correct Rare Perfume has won under a wrong description Turf Field Farm
