silks though in promiseMr his trials he gave brilliant promise Mr Woodward did not stop with the im ¬ portation of this mare but he also made many notable importations of other matrons from both England and France and already the Belair Stud though its first representa ¬ tives were sent to the races in 1918 has met with a most satisfying success That year only three went from the farm and each was a winner Since that modest beginning the Belair Stud has accounted for considerably more than 100 winning races and the prize money has been almost 200000 200000STAHLE STAHLE A XEW OXE OXEThe
