AMERICAN STALLIONS IN ENGLAND. Amongst tlie stallions already advertised ars Adam JJede and Sir Martin, two of the best American-bred performers we have had in this country for years. Both, of course, are the property of Mr. Louis Winaus. and stand at Lordship. Newmarket, under the care of Joseph Cannon, who also trained them. Adam Bede, which won the Duke of York Slakes and Cambridgeshire in the autumn of 1912. is rightly described as a magnificent-specimen of a thoroughbred horse, while on the score of hreedlug he Is by Flying Foxs sou Adam out of Grace Humberts, bv Sainfoin he leaves nothing to be desired. He had a full subscription this year., and his services at IS sovereigns aud a guinea grooms- fee. are reasonably appraised. Winners and dams of winners, moreover, are accepted free. The same conditions will apply in the case of Sir Mar-: tin, which joins the Lordship Stud after neing in training seven seasons. A tirst-class race horse, accident undoubtedly robbed him of his fair share "f: success, lie was going like the winner of the; Derby when he came to grief at Tuttenham Corner,1 while I have always entertained the view that he Wi.uld have won the Jubilee Stakes iu the year; when that nice bad to be abandoned on account Of the death of King Edward. How high a fee could have been commanded for his services had he figured as the winner,- j or one of the other placed horses in the Derby, I need not attempt to explain, and breeders should therefore not be slowi to use him now that they eaii do so on the moderate terms announced.
