GREATEST OF IRISH BREEDING FARMS. Colonel Hall Walker must be accounted one of the most successful among breeders of thoroughbred bloodstock of the present day, and apart from being tfc? 4r.:fr4iKiari8tt.t In Ireland, the Tully Stud stands high among the most famous establishments of its kind in the kingdom. From small beginnings during the period extending from 1H00 to 1003 tne winnings of tts offshoots amounted then t ,275 the progress has "been remarkable, and from 1!01 to 1013 the aggregate of stakes wen shows a total of ,007,043. with the magnificent average pr season of upwards of 00,000. Theve are very few studs which can boast such figures, while the classic record is hardly less nattering. Thus Minoru won tne Derby and Cherry Lass the Oaks. Prince Palatine and Night Hawk both annexed the St. Leger, Miuoru won the Two and Cherry Lass and Witch Elm the One Thousand Guineas, Ulster King and Prince Palatine th: Princess of Wales Stakes, and Prince Palatine was twice successful in the Ascot Gold Cup. Now tluu Friary is dead and Minoru has gone to Russia. Tullv Is dependent chiefly on two young stallions of gVeat Tiromise in Itoyal Realm, by Sheen, a bay horse of great si.e and itower, which retired to the stud in 1912, and whoso first progeny are now foals, and the grand-looking chestnut. White Eagle. Of the two the "Eagle" was perhaps slight lv tho better class race horse, as among other races he won the Woodcote at Epsom, the Rational Breeders Produce Stakes at Sandown,. the Pavue Stakes, the Duke of York Stakes at YorK, and the City and Suburban, while in the classic line lie was second for botli the Two Thousand Guineas and the St. Leger. White Eagle has already made his mark at the stud with the smart Let "Fly, bv some good judges considered the bes two year old of the season. Follow Up, Egretta, Black Kite. Kilerslie, Tirynthia, White Boy, Heather Moon. Dolabella, White Abbey, ami White Lie whose collective winnings amount to i.uuU. Then there is the old warrior, Count Schomberg IS!" which is responsible for winners this year in Carrickfergus, Cock of the Rock, Dittany, Horm. John AmomlaH. Kyoto, and Sordello, not to mention such good horses in the past as Cocksure and tile flying Black Arrow. Colonel Hall Walker has a large number of horses in training, some by W. T Robinson at Foxhlll and others by J. .Smith at Itiis-dev Park, but. I believe that the latter will be Mltctded bv F. Leader next month. Recent leliremeuts from the Tully Stud are Alhr-mative, Blue Cap, Byeway. Call Bird. Cherry Lass winner of the One Thousand Guineas and Oaks, which died in delivering a dead colt to Itoyal Realm last spring. Defiance. Ella McCarthy, Molly OHara, Officious, Pearlina, Plovers Moss. Quiddity, Red Sea St. Bridget, Spring Witch dead. Tirade. Tulliola and Gondolette. Most of the foregoing were sold, among them the last-named in toal to Minoru, but neither her owner nor her purchaser was at the time cognizant of the racing merit of her foal Let Fly. The produce was Serenissimn, now a Yearling, and. of course, half-sister to the crack two vear -old just alluded to. Gondolette proved barren for the first time in her career to Swyiifonl, but was mated with him again, with, it Is to be hoped, more satisfactory result. In spite of the above withdrawals there remains a splendid collection of brcodmares at Tully. including Bella Roba. with bay till v foal bv Royal Realm, and mated witii him again: "Belle Vale, with bay filly by Royal Roalni.
