THOROUGHBRED NURSERY OF WORLD England Determined to Maintain Her Pride of Place Among Nations New York August 10 That England is deter ¬ mined to maintain her pride of place as the thor ¬ oughbred nursery of the world is shown by the manner in which she is maintaining her breeding interests despite the limited opportunity afforded to secure a return on the investment because of war conditions conditionsBeports Beports indicate that the best horses in the stud in fireat Britain have had satisfactory seasons Th is particularly true of Major August Belmonts great horse Tracery whose look was full at 250 guineas In commenting on the fact that the superb son of Bock Sand Topiary was mated with forty mares thirtyseven of them other than his own Major Belmont said a few days ago agoThere There is a lesson for the breeders of the United States in the manner in which English owners of thoroughbreds aro maintaining this most useful strain of horses Though their country has been it war for four years and the strain has been con ¬ stant they have never lost sight of the importance of keeping up the quality of their bloodstock The need of remounts brought about the establish ¬ ment of a national stud and I am gratified to find one of the best mares from it among those sent to Tracerv this season Another great mare mated with him was Tagale dam of the Derby winner Tagalie Still another with local interest attached to her is the Berrill matron Qiiecnlct the dam of W B Coes good filly Terentia which is showing such good form at Saratoga Sir Mark Sykes whose Slelmero Stud is renowned the world over has sent Agacella and Sbirtling as well as Queen let Mr Coe was indeed fortunate to secure Ter ¬ entia and other Sledmere youngsters last year as it was the first time they wen ever sold privately privatelyIt It must be remembered resumed Major Bel mont that Tracery is only one of many high priced sires standing in England at the present time His fee was formerly 400 guineas but it was re diiced to the present figure in order to encourage breeders to keep up the work of blood horse pro ¬ duction during the war The subscriptions to Tra ¬ cery this year are an eloquent testimonial to the love the best type of British sportsman has for a good horse horseThere There was a disposition said Major Belmont in concluding to curtail racing to a point where the life of the breeding industry was threat ¬ ened the first year of the war in England The necessity for racing tests in connection with breed ¬ ing and the absolute need of fostering the industry because of what it meant to the nation brought about a revulsion of feeling and this season has been materially lengthened We in the United States are in the same predicament as the British when the future of our horse product is considered Bacing and horse breeding must be continued It would be extremely unwise to abandon any policy which makes for advancement in either field fieldMARES MARES AT COURT OF
