Haylioc, has lost one of Ids sons, who lias been killed at the front. An important-draft of broodmares from the Warren Tower Stud; Newmarket, will be submitted at the December Bloodstock Sale. No fewer than six hundred and forty-three entries have been leceived for the twenty-four events at the Selection Trials at Caen, France, in September. A movement is on foot in South Australia to place racing there under a board of control, but any attempt at state supervision is to be strenuously opposed. The good three-year-old Salandra, winner of four of his six races this year, was sent to India last mouth and along with him went Fiz-Yama, winner of the Cesarewitch of 1913. Jockey C. Foy, wiio recently returned to England from Russia, where he had been riding with success, lias left Southampton en route for Spain, having received an appointment to ride for the king of Spain. The race course and stands at Ascot have not been used for racing since June 1914, but the usual contribution to the local rates is being continued. The payment amounts to a seventh of the sum collected. The death is announced of M. Henriquet, a French owner of some prominence, who died at his country seat near Luzarches. Amongst other horses that carried his colors successfully were Cliulo and Lieutel. Mr. C. W. Brindley has purchased Willaura and will put him to the stud next year. Willaura, which cost SOO sovereigns as a yearling, won ten races, and is by William the Third Brillante, by Prince Rudolph. At Victoria, New South Wales, Australia, on September 5, the important Caulfield Stakes was won by Prince Burdolph. with King Kora second and Kings Chancellor third. The winner started at 33 to 1. Lord Rosebery has given the name of Pennula to his two-year-old by Sunstar Chelandry, and his two-year-old by Lochryan Whim has received the name of Whimper. His lordships three-year-old by Sunstar Montem will henceforth be known as Sunny Ridge. Our Paris contemporary, "Le Jockey," the oldest French sporting paper, made its reappearance September !l. Publication of the paper had been suspended since August, 1914. This may be taken as an indication that sport in France is waking up, and that an end of the official veto is in sight. The Irish Bloodstock Agency has purchased, on behalf of a Canadian breeder, the sire Bachelors Beau, by Tredennis Bachelors Beauty, the latter a sister to Bachelors Button, by Winklield Milady. Bachelors Beau, which is seven years old, stood in Ireland at C. T. Lewiss stud at Moyfeigher, County Meatli. The following yearlings, the property of his Majesty, have arrived at Egerton House Stables, Newmarket, from the Sandringham Stud to be trained: Ch. f, by Sunstar Princess de Galles; b. f, by Sunstar Glad Tidings; br. f, by Sunstar Marie Legrayo; gr. f, by Roi Ilerudi Sweet Auburn, and ch. f, by Marcovil Game Hen. Tho big meeting at San Sebastian, Spain, next year will take place on the corresponding dates, and the program will be on exactly the same lines as in 1910, with a "Grand Prix" worth 0,000. The meeting will extend over forty-two days, from July to October. It is significant of the King of Spains determination to foster racing and breeding in his dominions that it is officially stated that the meeting will take place, no matter what may be the international situation. The Doncaster St. Leger for 191S closed on Tuesday. August 29, with an entry of 237, including two made in New York. His majesty has nominated three colts by Bayardo, Marcovil and Sunstar respectively, and a filly by Sunstar. The Bayardo colt is out of the dam of Friar Marcus. The National Stud is responsible for six subscriptions, all colts four by Royal Realm and two by White Eagle. Lord Derby lias taken seven nominations and the Duke of Portland six. Mr. Croker intends putting up for auction before lie leaves for America his string of horses in training, and, in addition, his entire breeding stud of broodmares and sires, the latter being the Epsom, Baldoyle and Irish Derby winner Orby, and the good winner Josh, which is by Grey Leg. The sale will also include foals and yearlings. Mr. Croker has no intention of severing his connection with Ireland, and will return there when he lias derived benefit from treatment to his eye, for which purpose he is going to the United States. London Sportsman. M. Camille Blanc lias had the misfortune to lose his stallion Retz, which, slipping up in the paddock, broke a leg and hud to be destroyed. Retz had a briliant racing career and won more than 15,000 pounds in stakes. His principal successes were his victories iu the Prix de Longchamp, the Prix de Guiclie, the Poule dEssai, and the Prix du Jockey Club. He also divided the honors for second place with Maximum in the Grand Prix de Paris, won by Kizil Kourgan, which just got home by a head. Retz was by Le Hardy Betrouw, by Doncaster, and was foaled in 1S99. Mr. John Crozier, well known in Australian racing circles since the early "seventies," died suddenly recently. Mr. Crozier was the second son of Mr. John Crozier, M. L. C, of South Australia. He owned the Kirlnino Station, near Wentworth, until the early "eighties," when he sold to his brothers, Messrs. W. and A. Crozier. After that lie lived in Adelaide, and bought the famous St. Albans Stud. In 1S90 lie sold St. Albans to Mr. W. It. Wilson, and again settled in Adelaide, where lie remained until about ten years ago. For many years Mr. Crozier raced horses. Probably tho best he ever owned was Hamlet, which ran in the name of 1. Lewis, being then a young man. Savanaka, First Water. Vakeel, Fulham, Lara, Banker, Gunga Din, Security and Hortensius were among the horses he owned in later years.
