BREEDING BUREAUS GREAT WORK. Forty-Four Stallions Now in Service Have Been Visited by 2,000 Mares. Xew York, July 2. Some definite idea of the results of the first years work of the Breeding Bureau may be gained before a great while. Already a great many foals have been reported, but as the breeding of horses of the class covered by the Bureaus scheme is carried on until very late in the season actual results are not yet obtainable. In 1000 the first stallion was shipped to his keeper on May "0 and reports to December 31 showed that the thirty stallions placed had received aliout 500 matrons, and now up to June 1 reports show that the forty-four stallions have been patronized by almost 2,000 mares, the property of farmers of the state or Xew York, so the good work is well begun. Tlie result or almost 2,000 half-bred colts or fillies in Xew York state will be felt for a lifetime, even should the Breeding Bureau cease its operations today, of which there is no likelihood. The Breeding Bureau is in its infancy, and while the work must of a necessity go a little slower the supply of available stallions being, to a certain extent, limited, before the present breeding season is over fully fifty stallions will have been placed, and by the end of the year fully sixty, which will mean a stallion for every county in the state. The fact that the Breeding Bureau was created late in 1900 makes it impossible, to even correctly estimate who will be the lucky keepers in receiving the prizes of 50 to first, .00 to second and 50 to third, offered to the keeper of the stallion which lias the most foals in 1907, but a close watch is being kept and the awards will be promptly made. The special prizes for best foal as shown at foot of dam by Don de Oro and Margrave, as offered by August Belmont, chairman of the Jockey Club, who donated both the above horses, will be offered through the agricultural societies of Broome and Livingston counties, and next year the Breeding Bureau will offer three special prizes in each county of the state for the best yearling as sired by the stallions of the Breeding Bureau of Tlie Jockey Club. The following horses have been newly placed or changed by the Breeding Bureau of The Jockey Club during the year 1907: Saccharometer, by The Judge Sacharisa; M. A. Lain, AVestown, Orange Countv.
