Of the sixteen promising yearlings which August Relmont has in training at Belmont Park, six are of the get of Trap Rock, five are by Hastings, two each by Watervale and Fair Play and one by Uncle. These are tlie youngsters which will represent the Nursery Stud among the two-year-olds of, 1017, as far as the American-bred division of the Belmont stable is concerned. W. O. Parmer, thoroughbred breeder and turfman, has disposed of his farm Edenwold. near Nashville, to Richard Plater, of Nashville. He received in exchange Nashville business property and cash aggregating 00,000, it is said. Several months ago Mr. Parmer bought the old Belle Meade home place and fifty acres, his Idea being to revive the prestige of that once famous race horse nursery. Breeders are reminded that November 1 is the last day on which foals may be registered in tlie Stud Book without a fee of 0. Horsemen generally are famous for their procrastination, and it is well that memory should be jogged. The registration is awav below what it should be at this time, and it is only because the breeders have neglected this most important part of the successful rearing of the thoroughbred.
