An analysis of the list of winning sires for 190S up to November 1, as compared with the list for the same time in 1907, shows that seveu new names appear in the list, whiie naturally as many have been crowded out from that of last year. The names in the 190S list not shown iu that of 1907 are: Ogdcn, Disguise, Fatherless. ,Ben Brush, Planudes, Mazagan and Sandrlngham. -Those that were in the 1907 list and not in that for 190S are: Yankee, Golden Garter. Sir Dixon, Collar. Kingston, Belvidere and Royal Flush III. It was a long Jump from no mention last year to second place on the 190S list, but an easy one for Ogden when he bad two such colts as Sir Martin and Fayette racing for him. Disguise holds third place through the prowess of the Futurity winner, Maskette, and the fleet Helmet. Trance. Besom and Wedding Bells earned a place for Ben Brush, while "Sandrlngham reached the roll of honor through the efforts of Angelus and Royal Tourist. In 1907 Golden Garter held seventh place by reason of the money won by two such sterling horses as Charles Edward and Jim Gaffney. Collar, the great English stallion, which is represented in various parts of the world by many sterling racers, was accorded a place on the 1907 list through the brilliant achievements of one horse. Frank Gill. Belvidere owed the position which he held last year to the efforts o his best son, Salvidere, which won more than 0,000. Commando, now dead, the leading , sire last year by virtue of the winnings of his mighty son. the unconquerable Colin, relinquished this honor to Hastings, which was accomplished mainly through the agency of the great Fair Play. The difference in the amount of money won by the leading sires of 1907 and 190S reaches the large Sum of 49,051.
