STANHOPES REPORT ON ENGLISH MARKET Lexington Ky September 5 According to H Stanhope who returned Wednesday from a ten weeks sojourn in England those who have shipped their yearlings abroad expecting a big market are going to be sadly disappointed They are up against It over there said lie There is a feel ¬ ing in France particularly ithat the reform wave Is going to cross the pond and their buying is slow and cautions Another thing the breeders In Eng ¬ land and Ireland have exacted from Tattersalls and other sales agents that they make no public offering of Americanbred yearlings until after the Doncaster sales this month I believe an exception was made in the case of the three including the brother to Kings Courier that were taken over several weeks ago for Mrs James E Pepper by her brother John Offutt but that was because he was already on the ground and they felt that it would be a hardship on him to hold him over so much longer After my experiences ami observations I am inclined to the opinion that any one sending over thoroughbreds of anj age or description to England or France will be disappointed
