He was the guest of Arthur B. Hancock of Paris, master of the Claibourne Stud in Bourbon County. Kentucky, and the Ellerslic Stud in Virginia. "I am over here for several weeks," said he. "with the expectation that I shall learn much about breeding and racing thoroughbreds as conducted in the Inited States." He probably will visit every breeding farm in the Blue Grass region.
