DIAMOND JUBILEES FINE YOUNGSTERS. The Beunos Aires "Standard" contains an account of the sale or the two-year-olds which took place in October the chief sire at the stud being Diamond Jubilee, King Edwards brilliaut winner. It states-"It has been an open secret that this years crop of Diamond Jubilee products excelled by far anyttiing that he has previously produced at the stud, so that we were quite prepared to look over something out of the ordinary run of racing thoroughbreds. We. must candidly" confess, however, that in point of quality and beauty of type tlie lot which came under our eye at yesterdays sale surpassed bv iniles our most optimistic calculations. Though Diamond Jubilee has not been getting them "ltetty" in previous years, which, of course, has not prevented them from racing, ninety per cent, of the youngsters which came under the auctioneers orders yesterdav bore the stamp of their sire, and everybody knows that Diamond Jubilee was one or the grandest looking horses that ever looked through a bridle. Iiuli virtually and collectively, no grander lot of two year-olds has ever come from the Las Ortigas Farm, and we would even go farther and say that thev were the best we have ever seen In Argentina. Of the Diamond Jubilee colts there were quite half 0 dozen that would have opened the eyes of our be-a judges of racing stock in the old country. The ten Diamond Jubilee colts realized 43,500, or approxi mately 1914.sh,205 per head: the seventeen Diamond Jubilee lillles realized 3,700, or approximate! v ,405 per head.
