JOHN LUMSDEN PLANS BIG STUD FARM I . New York. April 25. — John Lumsden, the wealthy Canadian turfman, is enthusiastic over his recent • purchase of the Pequest Stud Farm, comprising 450 1 acres located near Andovor. X. J. "I ex|»ect to cultivate 2«Mt acres of the tract." said Mr. Lumsden. "This will leave me 150 acres 1 of as fine blue grass as I would care to see. beside;, another WO acres of rougher land. If tliere is anything in blue grass, limestone and good water, I Itelieve I iiave as good a place to keep thoroughbred* as any in Kentucky. Besides having a place for my other Iiorses. I ex| oct to keep about twenty broodmares. In a short time I ex| ect to have twenty foreign -bred Iiorses. all yearlings, shipped I there.* and these will have a home lqiou their arrival. Mr. Potter had everything complete and up , to date for keeping both horses aud cuttle, and it is a great s|iot for a dairy farm, such as E. R. Bradley runs in connection with Idle Hour Stud, near Islington, so I also will have at least fifty cows on the place." Mr. Lumsden now has no less than twenty-eight Iiorses in training, but this number will Is- cut down. He still experts to have eighteen ;it lim-lico when racing starts there next week.
