BROOD MARE SIRES OF THIS YEAR MEDDLER LEADING IN NUMBER OF MARES AND MONEY WON BY THEIR PRODUCE THE GLENCOE IN ¬ FLUENCE STILL POTENT BUT IN DANGER OF EXTINCTION IN THE MALE LINE By EXILE EXILEIt It is nothing short of a tragedy the threatened passing of the Hanover line fortogether with his sire Hindoo this Gleneoe strain of Mood besides being acknowledged to be tlie best of all lirood mare lines in this country is also well able to hold its own abroad To our shame we hare permitted the mighty line of Lexington to be swept aside and now the shades of the evening fast dim the rays of the once resplendent sun of Hanover For all this the GlencoeHanover influence still makes itself mani ¬ fest but what is there left to carry on the male line Should the present hope Great Britain fail it would leave but one remaining chance the Halma of France Last your it was Sir Barton and Sir Bartons dnm his Lady Sterling by Hanover This time the Hanover Influence is once more paramount in that the Kentucky Derby and Suburban Handicap winner Paul Jones is a son of May Florence by Hamburg son of Hanover Hindoo sire of Hanover also sired Jim Gore and Jim Gore is tlie sire of Fair Empress dam of Exterminator Yankee son of Hanover is the Sire of twenty mares whose off ¬ spring this year have won nearly 10000 Among the offspring of Yankees daughters are United Verde and Normal Handspring son of Hanover is the sire of Dainty Dame dam of the Great American winner Touch Me Not Prudery winner of the Fashion and Rosedale Stakes is a daughter of Polly Flinders by Burgomaster son of Hamburg Tryster

daughter of Hanrose by Hanover Miss Oertel is by Handsel tlie dam of four in Mythology Opportunity Don Dodge and Bobbie Allen Handspun by Hanover is the granddam of Atta Boy II and Broom Spun and in spite of all this some of the bloodstock breeders seein to stand willing to see the HanoverGleneoestTain pass outy V Saratoga sijU stlina apprqr chesc Therefore forfhb better iiiformation of those whosointention it is to make purchase of thoroughbred yearlings at the Spa the records for the present year of tlie leading brood mare sires may be of interest and also act as a guide iu ycarlnig selection selectionEvery Every now and again I read something touching on tlte good old hard bottom American thoroughbred blood but each and every one of the fortyone sires whose daughters have bred the winners of 10000 or over this year trace to a Bruce Lowe figure taproot as do all of the thirty odds leading winning sires and this no surmise of my own but incontrovertible fact factHistory History repeats itself year after year The same stalilons stand out as brood mare sires Those wonderful daughters of Meddler place him this time well in advance of all competitors The offspring of thirtythree of his daughters have already this year had fortythree winners or nigh unto 100000 Star Shoots daughters also are exceedingly fine Twentytwo of them are productive of winners Daughters of Rocl Sand are exceptionally good Members of the HanoverGlencoe line cannot be beaten as brood marcs What with Hamburg Yankee Hanover The Commoner and Handsel all having a place in the appended list and Jim Gore sire of Exterminators dam Fair Empress only just beyond the 10000 pale Each and every one of the first twelve leading brood mare sires is bred to be success ¬ ful in this particular for in the pedigrees of all are to be found the same strains of blood which are responsible in the past for the best and most productive brood mares in all turf history Meddler has his Petrarch Macaroni and Kingston Star Shoot his Hermit and Young Melbourne Rock Sand his St Simon Hermit Wenlock and Stockwcll Hamburg has Hanover Australian Lexington and Glencoe Voter Hermit and Barcaldine Hastings a coming brod mare sire Australian Lexington Glencoe King Tom and Sweetmeat Yankee Hanover and Himyar Broomstick certain to lake an even higher place in the near future for he is only as yet a youngster as a brood mare sire lias his Bonnie Scotland and strains of Galliard GalopinMacaroni Bend Or and the Herod Klngley Vale Sain with his St Simon Thor maiiby and Barcaldine and membership of the Brown Bess branch of the No 3 family was from the outset certain of success Sain moreover is one of the baslbred allaround sires ever imported and had he beeii accorded even a decent chance none would have equaled him as a sire and a wellbred Sain mare is as near perfection as can be Ogden mares too are coming on apace and this on account of his AnstralianMatchcm descent and his dam Oriole being a daughter of that good brood mare sire Bend Or Disguise also is doing well for is not his dam by Galopin and granddam a son of Young Melbourne Queen Mary Star Ruby half brother by Hampton to Sceptre is another coining brood mare sire and of course Peter Pan as I wrote for Daily Racing Form last autumn is yet another certain of suc ¬ cess as a brood mare sire Failure of any horse as a brood mare sire In whose pedigree is found close up strains of Darebin Lexington Thormanby Hermit See Saw and Cremorne is next thing to impossi ¬ ble bleIt It is understood that tlie anxiously awaited Vol XII of the American Stud Book is about to make its belated appearance and when it does come to hand I shall add tlie number of mares returned for each sire and suggest that all save this winning brood mare sire list for reference at Saratoga sales time so that you may be better able to judge of the character of the soil from which the good crops Producing Daughters Meddler 1 by St Gatien Busybody 33 2 Rock
