ENGLISH BREEDERS SELFPROTECTIVE Sportsman Correspondent Speaks for Them Over Matter of a Market for American Yearlings London July 12 Allison in a recent Sportsman puts the English view of a possible American inva ¬ sion for sales purposes in words as follows followsI I should advise them to refrain from coming here to sell and rather to exert their utmost ener ies in defeating the machinations of Governor Hughes No good result can accrue to anybody by Hooding the market In this country and as to bring ¬ ing over stables of race horses I have already ex ¬ plained that It is extremely improbable that the Jockey Club stewards will tolerate anything of the sort being done on a large scale aud that they have full power to prevent it by refusing to allow the owners to have their horses trained here This can ¬ not be too clearly or too soon understood and no American owner unless he be of the class of Mr James R Keeue or Mr Belmont should dream of transporting his stable to England without first as ¬ certaining from Messrs Weathcrhy whether he will bo allowed to have his horses trained here It is suggested they may come to Ireland and that is quite another proposition but they will not get fat over racing in Ireland unless on the principle of dog cat log The whole of Ireland does not contain so many people as London alone and most of them are penurious so that it would be impossible to run really big meetings there on a commercial basis No I think our American friends will have to work out their own salvation as against their opponents who have inherited the tainted blood of the Puritan fathers They must tight for their own and not run away If they do this resolutely they arc sure to win hut If In panic they come rushing over here they will assuredly find that they have dropped the substance for the shadow I do not pretend to he in the confidence of the Jockey Club stewards hut It is a matter of common sense that no responsible body of gentlemen in charge of turf affairs would permit this country to l e used as a sort of Alsatia by those whose own country has been made as re ¬ gards betting too hot to hold them themJ J II Skeets Martin has joined the leading

Oaks in par ¬ ticular by her owner Chevalier GInistrelli the following is taken takenThe The whole study of horse breeding aud more particularly of the thoroughbred consists of the dis ¬ covering of certain secrets and mysteries in nature as for example to ascertain more or less accurately the degree of love and mutual sympathy that exists both before and after the process of sexual Inter ¬ course How often does a breeder of thoroughbred stock without giving himself a moments thought send his mare to be mated with a stallion which merely ligures in the BruceLowe system of classifi ¬ cation and beyond this one fact has no claim to the stallion in sympathy or otherwise This system of the BruceLowe Hjjures is nothing less than a di ¬ rect violation of the boundless laws of sympathy and love What an outcry there Is when a father of a family forces an unwilling marriage on his daughter What are the results of such a union unionBut But fyr the breeder who really has at heart the improvement of the equine race the matter by no means ends here he yet has to ascertain the health of the animals he proposes to mate There is not the shadow of a doubt that in the theory of selection the female is more Important than the male It is sufficient to remember that the stallion 1ms but two important functions to fulfill the elab ¬ oration of the semen and the act of sexual inter ¬ course itself while the mare has five such duties to perform germination fertilization gestation the period of giving birth aud finally the period of suck ¬ ling or rearing of her offspring Under these cir ¬ cumstances who can deny the overwhelming impor ¬ tance of the female over the male maleLong Long before Signorina ever met Chaleureus I had sought a subscription to Cyllene but after weeks of weary waiting I realized that I was doomed never to obtain that subscription with what happy result every one sees even those who until recently had accused me of having wasted my mare on a mere handicap horse Then it was that I determined on Chaleurenx and ray opinion of his fitness in every wayf aud especially as suitable for the mare was confirmed by the following incident I had already sent the mare to the horse to be tried when mw day Clialeureux was out for his usual mornings walk and passing as was his wont through the brick ¬ field adjoining my property All of a sudden he started to neigh as never horse neighed before The mare was out In the paddock and on hearing the voice of her lover immediately answered and this incident took place every time they met Now Signorina was not in season but all this and the proofs of intense love soon caused her to be in that state Considering all this as more than sufficient data I persevered confident from the very first that I was not far wrong and that the result of such a union would be an exceptional animal for stamina Signorina was phenomenal for her speed Chaleurenx was the same for stamina and sturdlness and I was more than convinced that by such a discovery of natures ways I should be more than rewarded for the fond care I had taken of my wellloved favorite favoriteBut But yet another potent factor In the situation On the ISth of February 1800 Signorina became afflicted with liver complaint and was in a high state of fever and two eminent veterinary sur ¬ geons Mr B II Leach and the late Professor Pritchard by their unselfish care saved the mare though traces of the complaint still lingered about her with the result that when she ran in the Oaks she was eighteen pounds behind her proper form It was this then that made me keep a steady look ¬ out for a horse that should combine sturdincss with strength and Clialeureux was such a one oneBefore Before I mated Signorina with Best Man and with Clialeureux I summoned Professor Heap Can ¬ tab the great physiologist in conjunction with my own veterinary surgeon Mr Leach to examine them I am of opinion therefore that it is high time the English breeders to whom breeders on the continent owe so much should return to this system of ex ¬ periment which is a system of sound common sense and when accompanied by much study and ripe cx pericuce is the best possible path to success successKillyleagh Killyleagh which has been getting a good many winners the last few years died in Ireland last week Bred by Mr II Moore he was u bay horse foaled in

that with the success of Aristocracy George Edwards the Boveridge trainer achieved the notable feat of winning four races in one year with four horses out of the same dam viz Lady Lena The animals arc
