CURRENT NOTES OF THE TURF. Sir John Hendries yearling colt by Roquelaure — i Sally Wise- is to be raced as Rogue. Tlie yearlings that have lieon schooled so far at the Fair Grounds, New Orleans, are a well behaving lot. If. II. Itoiierts has sold the well-known Canadian lierfonuer.

Hall, who lias had charge of several of the amateur racing organizations in the east, was recently appointed secretary for Ike Westminster kennel Club, the position having lieen made vacant by the death of James Mortimer. Mr. Jails new ap]H intmcnt will not interfere with his racing duties. The opinion among horsemen in Now York is that American havers of horses in England have paid too much attention to buying yearlings instead t importing sonic *.f the older division. There are many g.xxi horses on the market in England three years old and over, which could be utilized to advantage in this country. There is no denying the fact that the handicap division is shy on good horses. George M. Hendrle of Hamilton is another Canadian breeder who is strengthening his stable by English importations. A batch of youngsters is now on the way to Canada. They were selected by the well-known Knglish trainer, W. Walters, a brother of trainer John Walters of the Hendrie stable. When all the calculations are made covering a good many #can past, it will probably be found that Ceorge M. Hendrie has boon the largest importer of blood stock in Canadian records. — Francis Nelson in Toronto C.lobe.
