Kentucky and Tennessee wore in the habit of get ting in the old flush times, and gave the be ■ ! ing Industry a new and powerful impetus, arc as keen about breeding thcroiighbrods as tiny an about racing them. And one of the meet wholesome developments of this desire of these new ama to breed ti.e runners that, in the fa tare, will bear their silks is that it is bringing ahant ■ rehabilitation of the branding industry in the Atlantic Seaboard state-, whici for fifty yea:- played a poor second fiddle in this respect to the iiie-hanted bluegra.-.s country of Tennessee anil Kentucky.
