THOROUGHBREDS SENT TO ENGLAND. Lexington. Ky.. March 27. — Just before leaving here for Atlanta Thursday. Scott Hudson received advice of the arrival in London of thirty-eight thoroughbreds liought by him at New Orleans and ex ported for sale to huntsmen in England and on the Continent. These horses are all at or about sixteen hands and are robust in appearance, though not necessarily sound. The prices paid for them ringed from to 08. In ages they range from three to seven years. For further racing purposes in this country they were practically worthless and since the- greatest number are geldings they, of course, have no value as breeding stock. It can be truly said that Mr. Hudson is doing much for the good of the- snort of racing in getting such as the- following uff the turf: Aber Nit. eh. g. 3, by Sanders— Orangeade.

Tncle James and Weberlields are the only horses among the number that were- winners last year. Bery YVaddell, which was bred by the late R. Bradley at Wilcox Landing in Virginia, is probably the most Bated performer in the collection. He raced many times on the flat and through the field and was a winner of a considerable sum. Sir Navarre is the brother in blood to Sal.idere. and is the colt for which C. R. Ellison paid f*,OO0 as a yearling when the last crop from the late C. F. McMeekins Oakwood Stud was offered in New-York in September. 1906. Incidentally he is the colt for which Ellison wanted to claim the name Governor Hughes. The Jockey Club, for reasons of its own. advised Mr. Ellison that the name was not obtainable and Sir Navarre was taken as a substitute. lu his work at Memphis in the spring of 1907 Sir Navarre accpiitted himself so creditably that he was heralded as a world-beater, but he Went wrong and Kllison was never able to get him to the post. What a narrow escape for the distinguished chief executive of the State of New York, who is imw exerting his every effort to put the greatest of outdoor sports under the ban. C. B. Reid is another distinguished counterfeit in this collection. He was bred by John Morris at Woodburu Stud and was sold as a yearling to Louis A. Cella for ..~ oo. He was named for the tr-.im-r of that good horse The Picket, and made two appearances under the colors of the chief of the St. Louis race-track confederacy — once last year and once this year — but was not in the money in either race. Mr. Hudson «ays lie is in the market for as many more of the kind as he can buy. and he will go to New Orleans next week to remain until the close of the season thin- cm April 11. in the hope that he will be able to pick up another carload or two. "There are plenty of horses at New Orleans that come up to my reipiirements for exportation." said he. "but they are hard to buy. One might think that owners would be glad to get rid of such horses at any price, but not so. They have an undelinablc attachment for them, and I have had sonic- men actually cry when they were selling their horses to me. and in more than one instance I have let them have the horses back."
