Mr. Scbreiber will, of course, gradually reduce his big breeding establishment, unless the situation in New York permits the big tracks to reopen in the metro polis. and until the hope has become forlorn he will only lease his choicest stallions and marcs unlets he can get the full value for them. What yearlings he decides to sell this season he will ship abroad. — Louisville Courier Journal.
