MORE STALLIONS FOR BREEDING BUREAU. Montreal, Que., September 10. T. F. Ryan, manager of the National Breeding Bureau, has returned from the west and reports the donation of several more well-known sires. R. J. Mackenzie, son of Sir William Mackenzie, president of the Canadian Northern Railway, has donated Elfin Beau, a fine, big stallion by Filigranc. R. F. Carman has donated Magazine, a line individual of the compact type. Amos Turney lias decided to let Martin Doyle remain in Canada, to be placed under Bureau rules. The Hamilton Jockey Club lias generously presented the three stallions, Reidmore, Stringency and Crawford, to the Bureau and is negotiating for the purchase of Barleythorpc and Selwik, so that these may also be given to the Bureau. The Bureau show stallions have returned from Toronto, where they won first place at the Canadian National Exhibition and have been re-shipped to Ottawa, to be judged at tho Central Canadian Fair. At Toronto, Rosemount, by Hastings Lady Rosemary, swept all liefore him, beating a class of fifteen thoroughbred stallions from all over Canada. Rosemount is a magnificent horse now and will be hard to beat at the New York show in November. He was bred at August Belmonts Nursery Stud and donated to the Bureau by R. F. Carman, of New York. Light Wool finished third in this class and will do better later on, for ho is a superb type. "I believe, said Mr. Ryan, "that fully 200,000 persons viewed the Bureau thoroughbreds at the Toronto Exhibition. On Labor Day there were 152,-000 paid admissions, and at least a third of them visited tho stables, which were jammed all day. Canadian farmers and breeders are fully awake to the value of thoroughbred blood. The Bureau will have an exhibit at the New York horse show in November. Their exhibit will be selected from tho following thoroughbreds: Oiscau. Light Wool, Beau Gallant, Rosemount, Athol, Fort Hunter, Vnljean and Arawak.
