The fate that has overtaken Mr. Haggin s youngsters today will be almost sure to dissuade other Americans from following his example of seeking a market over here. When transport and other expenses are taken into account there remains very little margin for profit, and we can readily imagine that Mr. Haggin will be heartily glad when racing is once more restored to a normal footing iu the United States. The latest news regarding the outlook in New York Is distinctly more encouraging." Clarence Mackay sold six yearlings by Meddler at the Newmarket July sales and the results were simplv disastrous. In this country, where the prowess of the sons aud daughters of Meddler has served to make them justly popular, it is safe to sav that the same youngsters would have brought atleast three times as much as they did In England, perhaps more. If the reHrts of the excellence of .Mr. Keenes Grasmere, by .Meddler Rotha, are true, his sister, which sold for only 00. at Newmarket, would probably have sold for lis much nioney at Sheepshead BaV as all of the six yearlings brought in this sale, the particulars Of which are: Yearling and pedigree.
