Madden has been a busy man for the past two weeks, judging thoroughbreds at the horse show and otherwise ain-;i ing the thoroughbred cause. Today he and W. S. Kilmer went to Belmont Park and looked over the new stock of English horses recently imported. Mr. Kilmer is the owner of the Binghampton News and has lieen identified with hunters and steeplec-ias- ers for some time. He now iNinteinplates paving de elded attention to racing on the flat ami. as a nucleus, purchased a half dozen yearlings at the Haggin and other sales. These are n;»w at Gravcs- end. being educated and schooled bj- Irank M. Tavlor. He is also the owner of the stallion Yellow Crest, which took first prize at the horse show this year and last, as the best thoroughbred stallion shown. Yellow Crest is a son of Yellow Tail, one of the fastest sprinters of his day. and is c n- sidered one of the most likely sires to beget steeole- chasers in this country. Mr. Kilmer last year bought a band of desirable mares from T. F. Ryan for mating with Yellow Crest, and indications point to his having a ajaari stable of horses iu the near future, many of which will eonie from his Binghampton farm. So iuter-h ested has he liecome in turf affairs and the welfare of racing that he has tendered the services of Yel-•- low Crest to the Jockey Club Breeding Bureau, with the stipulation that but fifteen mares be served, His trip to Belmont Park today would indicate he is likelv to add to his racing stock and is looking over the field. W. II. Rowe. who has charge of the registra- tion department of the Jockey Club, has already received applications for the registration of sixt - seven English-bred yearlings and seventeen two- year-olds. "I should think." said Mr. Rowe. "that there will be dose to one hundred and fifty imported horses here to race next year, two-thirds of which will be two-year-olds. If their breeding is nnv criterion, they will certainly give a good account of themselves for some are of the bluest blood." Horsemen here are jubilant over the numtier it importations, lielieving they will add interest to the. sport from an international ixiint of view. Mr. Frank R. Hitchcock, one of the stewards of the Jockey Club, predicts an exceptionally good seas ••! in 1916. Blanks have been issued to horsemen by the W. ■ t - Chester Racing AaaodatftM for the Futurity of 19IS to which .001 will be added. The subscriptions, however, will make the stake worth at least SIS.0M
