BELGIAN HORSES SAFE IN ENGLAND. Among the Belgian owners who have managed to get away from Belgium with some of their horses is Mr. l.ueieii Niguet. who is now located at Ep-i-oni, next door to William Nightingall, with a half dozen horses, of which five are two-year-olds, the. other being Hey Diddle Diddle. Mr. Niguet is loud in his praise of Mr. Walter Hyde, who put up his horses tciiiorariIy at Kempton Park, and did him a further good turn by introducing him to W. Nightingail, who has found him his present accommodation. Indeed, like all other Belgians forced to come to our country. Mr. Niguet is charmed with everything and cveryliody. Mr. P. Mathieu has also upwards of thirty horses at Epsom uuder the care of Grundy, who expects eight or ten more shortly, while Sir Charles Nugent has four or five Belgian horses belonging to Mr. de Neuter and Mr. Marguelies at Bourton-on-the-Hill. Baron Lun-den and Mr. Loewenstein have brought oyer nearly a dozen horses, whose destination is the stables of Charles Wood at Jevington.,. Grundys horses will in all probability be devoted .to racing over hurdles, but it will be some time before any of the strangers will be fit. as it has. been impossible to gallop them for several weeks. Man- horses were requisitioned by the Belgian government, and it was only from the fact that the Osteud meetings had just started, causing most of the horses in Belgium to be near that waterhigplaee, that they diil not fall into the hands of the Germans. Tata ve. belonging to Mr. de Prelle do la Nieppo, is t:ol:en of as a good horse, and may be placed under the management of Mr. Misa. Rural an.l Varus, the properly of Baron I. linden and Mr. Loewenstein respectively, are also regarded as usefuI.--LonOon Sportsman.
