Hitchcock of The Jockey "Club, who has been a breeder in France and a natron of French racing off and on for a number of years, will sell the Rock Sand stallion Sandy Hook and the mares he lias in France. Sandy Hook was a good race horse, and it is to Ikj regretted that he was not brought back to the United States, as there are too few representatives in the male line of this staying family in this country. No doubt there will be strong American competition for the stallion Maintenon, head of the Vanderbilt stud, and some of the royally bred mares, many of which are noted producers.
