ENGLISH SALES FULL OF HEALTH. Eighteen Fetched Over ,000, and the Galli-nule Average High. Commenting on the recent healthy sales at Don-caster, England, the Sporting Life savs: It will be seen that no fewer than live are bv Gallinule, which manages to keep casilv at the head of the list of winning sires with a total of over ?9o,000 amassed by thirteen .of his progenv. Whether wr will be at the top when we reaeh the end of the season is, however, rather a moot point now that White Eagle seems to have lost the brilliant form he displayed during the. summer months. Desmond, with over ?80,000 to his credit, is a very dangerous rival, while St. Frusiniin is coming rapidly to the front, and with Lesbia engaged in the Imperial produce Stakes at Kempton and the Middle Park Plate, Mr. Rothschilds horse mav very easily trouble the live which at present head him in the list. Reverting to the nbovo table, we find that Ayrshire, William the Third, and Cupbearer all have two representatives apiece. As to the sires of the dams, it will - be observed that Gallinule is again the most prominent, for three of his daughters are included, so that Captain Greers horse shar.es the honors so far as eight of the eighteen yearlings are concerned. In the course of the next ten or fifteen years, Gallinule mares promise to become increasingly valuable, and it is to lie hoped that our breeders will not be tempted to sell them to the foreigners. Then two of the mares are by Minting, and there can bo little doubt that comparative failure as Ormondes old rival has been as a sire of colts; his name is going to figure very conspicuously in the pedigrees of the future in much the same way as Macaronis does. Enlarging- our survey to the yearlings sold last week for ?2,500 or over, it will be found Gallinule is. the sire of five of them, Avrshirc, Isinglass and Marco of four each, Desmond, William the Third and Pride of three each, and B:iy Ronald, Fortunio, Florizel II., Collar, Cupbearer, Carbine and Avington of two each. In connection with these figures, it is worth noting that there were in the catalogne only seven yearlings by Gallinule, six by Ayrshire and Marco, five by Isinglass and three each by William the Third and Desmond. The three by William the Third averaged 0,5S0 and the three by Desmond ,CS0. AVith regard to the Gal-linules outside the four-figured eighteen, one was unsold and the other fetched ,300. The six veaf-lincs by him that changed hands realized, then, 2.5,p, or an average of ,755.
