March 20.— The Charlevoix Stable. owned by Sir Rudolphe Forgot and Charles I onohue of Montreal, and whose winter quarters are down ,n the uagueoay district, reports the arrival of two thoroughbred foals, both of which will be eligible for the Qsuthac King"s Plate and for all Domiuioa-kred race-, one is a bay filly by the Canadian National Bureau stallion Blue Book, dam Valorous by Charaxus. The other is a chestnut colt by Blue Book— Eva Maddison, by imported Maddisou, a sou of Hampton. The Valorous filly was foaled on Fri day last, aud the Eva Maddison colt was foaled on March 10. James Walsh, who trained for Kenneth Dawes last season, is in charge of the stable. He has also two tine yearlings by imported Sea Horse II.. out of Valorous and Bra Maddison. The Valorous yearling is a blown colt and the Eva Maddisou yearling is a brown filly. The pride of the stable is the two-year-old niiy Bacchante, by Baa Horse IL — Valorous . ibis youngster stands fifteen hands three inches aud is as big all over as any California or Kentucky two-year-old of her age. She will start in the Nursery Stakes at Blue Bonnets this vear and in the Quebec Kings Plate of 1013. Blue Book, the Bureau stallion now at the Charlevoix Stable, is a fine horse, by nandsome, by Hanover — Blue Blood, one of the famous mares of John E. Maddeu"s farm in Kentucky. The Meddler mare. Impertinence, also at the Charlevoix Stables, is ex : pected to foal to the Bureau stallion Masterman about April 1st. This should be a valuable foal. There are nearly one hundred fine half-bled year lings and two-year-olds in the Segoenay district now as a result of the Bureau work. The Bureau stalliou Oiseau is being mated with nearly all the good thoroughbred mares in Montreal. He is a grand-looking horse and will be one of the thoroughbreds shuwn by the Bureau at the Montreal Horse Show. Mr. W. W. Hubbard. Secretary for Agriculture of : New Brunswick, looked over some of the Bureau stallions in Montreal a few days ago. He thinks that Light Wool is a magnificent type of the breed. Mr. Hubbard says that the Bureau stallions placed in New Brunswick are getting good results. In two seasons and part of another season Ostrich has been mated with 118 mares; Javelin, placed • Bathurst, N. B., was muted with 44 mares in 1910 and 5o mares in 101 1. The National Bureaus first shipment for 1012 will be to British Columbia, from whence comes an in sistent demand for thoroughbred sires. The Bureau will have a big exhibit at the Montreal Horse Show, and among the stallions shown will be: Light Wool. Stringency, oiseau. Fort Hun ter. Hose mount, Valjean, Roidmooro and Firebug. Rosemount won the championship at the Toronto Fair last year: Valjean won the championship at the Central Canada fair. Stringency won the championship at Hamilton and Firebug took first prize at Quebec, so that the exhibit will be made up largely of champions. There probably will be an exhibit of Bureau half-bred yearlings by Bureau stallions out of farm mares. If this class is arranged the Bureau will give a valuable silver cup.
