SIRE TEN POINT DIES FROM COLIC XEW YORK. X. Y., July 25. AVord was received at the office of the Jockey Club of the death at Avon. X. Y.. of the eleven-year-old sire Ten Point, by Jack Point Gold Ten, by Goldcrost, which L. A. A4ste of Xew York had loaned to the Breeding Bureau of the Jockey Club, and which had been sent to theGenesee Valley before the opening of the breeding season this year. Ten Point was a fine specimen of the big, rugged type of tin? thoroughbred and he was a successful sire for his chances. Everything that has been trained, with the exception of a couple of two-year-olds, that owned him as a parent has been a winner. As a racehorse Ten Point was one of the best of his day. He was better than he showed the public, as he was knocked out while being hurried in his preparation for the Kentucky Derby of 1913, which was won by Donerail, a colt that couldnt warm Ten Point up ordinarily. Ten Point was second, but should have been in the barn, according to Mr. Aste, who said that the horse arrived in Kentucky with a fever after winning the Chesapeake Stakes at Havre de J race. From the inception of the breeding bureau it has had no more active ally than Mr. Aste. He had another fine stallion in the valley in Eyebrow, by Star Shoot, and there are a number of fine colts by him in the Genesee Aalley Breeders Association. Acute colic was given as the cause of the death of Ten Point. The horse was insured by the Jockey Club for Mr. Astes account.
