SIR DIXONS SUCCESSOR. The American Blood Stock Agency, through Manager John Hanning, of New York, haB sold to Mossrs. Clay and Woodford, of the Bunnymede and Baceland StudB,tParis, Ey., for a private consideration, the beautifully bred and excellent racehorse Star-Sboat, ch. c, 3, by the. great IsinglasB, son of Isonomy Astrology, by Hermit, she out of Stella, by brother to Strafford, and she out of Gilberts dam, by Toxopbolite. In 1900 Star Shoot was considered about the beBt two-year-old in England, and had he not gone amiss early in his three-year-old form, many students of the turf think he would have won the triple crown. Among his two-year-old victories were the British Dominion Stakes of 1,000 sovs., at 8 an down Park, which he won from a field of nine, and the Hurst Park Foal Stakes of 1,500 bovs., at Hurst Park, from a field of nine. He also ran a dead heat, with Ian, for the National Breeders Produce Stakea of 5,000 sovs., at Sandown Park, conceding Ian nine pounds, with thirteen others behind him. He was only unplaced once in eight starts, and then when he was conceding a world of weight. He met and defeated tho best claBS two-year-olds in England. Messrs. Clay and Woodford and American breeders generally, are to be congratulated on the acquisition of such a representative English race horse, and too much praise can not bo bestowed on Mr. Hanning for his efforts in securing such a highly bred raca horse for Bunny-made and Baceland. Thoroughbred Becord.
