CANADIAN GOVERNMENT AIDS BREEDING- Cash Bonus to Bo Granted to Keepers of Thoroughbred Stailions — Big Stables at Fort Erie. Bufflalo. N. Y.. June 26. The fourteen car special that left Hamilton this morning arrived at Fori Kile this afternoon and brought many of the stables that will take port in the lneetiug of the Niagara Itaeing Association which is scheduled to ones Saturday. Included in the shipment were the big stablishments of S. C. Ilildreth, August Belmont and R. F. Carman. A new three quarter mile chute has been con streeted at the Iort Krie track since last fall, which will eliminate starting on a turn in races at this distance. Superintendent Judd. who has been look ing after Keiiilworth. is at Fort Erie putting the track in shape. Many racing followers from New York returned to their homes at the close of the Hamilton meeting, but they will all be on hand for he Fort Krie opening. Word has reached here from Ottawa that the Canadian government has decided on a yearly cash grant to beepers of thoroughbred sires. This is what the National Bureau of Breeding lias been striving to bring about for nearly three years and as it identifies the federal government with the thoroughbred it will be a go x! thing for the horse. In a statement which will be published all over Canada, the government points out the need of thoroughl red blood and sets aside the sum of 50 for each stallion per year, from which it will be seen that while the legislatures in the flatted States are wrecking the thoroughbred iiidu-try. the ana dian government and Canadian Breeding Bureau are building it up and profiting by the experience gained at great expense by Baroaeaa powers.
