; I ; i j t I i FINE HORSES ARRIVE HERE ♦ Two-Year-Old by Brown Prince — • Mother-in-Law for Hancock. ♦ First Foal of Snowcapt Comes on Steamship Meltonian Consigned to Her Owner and Breeder, Walter J. Salmon. ♦ NEW YORK, N. Y., May 9— In addition to the four jumpers whose arrival has been reported there were a couple of well-bred young fillies on the steamship Meltonian whose coming will also create interest. On© of them is the first animal bred in England by Walter J. Salmon. The other is owned by Arthur B. Hancock. The latter is a good-looking two-year-old filly by Brown Prince — Mother-in-Law, a winner of five races and dam of Sorvin-Iaw, the best all-round stallion in England. He won the Oesarewitch and other good races. In three years he has sired the winners of about 00,000, so his book rapidly fills. As Son-in-Law and Brown Prince were both sired by Dark Ronald, Mr. Hancocks filly is a three-parts sister to Son-ln-Law, which makes her valuable as a stud prospect. Mother-ir Law was fast. She won five good races. She has bred five winners. Including Queen Wasp by Bayardo. for which A. K. Macomber paid a big price last year. This season Queen Wasp has a colt foal by Buchan, to which she has again been bred. BE CAXXIES GOOD RECORD. The second dam is Be Cannie. She won seven races. Her six winners include Kings Courtship, which won the London Cup, Chesterfield Cup and five other races. The granddam of Be Cannie is that good mare Seclusion, which bred the famous Derby winner Hermit. Mr. Hancock has made a judicious purchase. Mr. Salmons filly is a bay. first foal, by Cicero, from Snowcapt. which was bought for ,750 in the December sales of 1P2L This year she has a nice colt by the Grand Prix winner Lemonora, and has been bred to Lemberg, the champion stalilon of 1922. Snowcapt is by Roi Herode, sire of The Tetrarch, from Snowflight. dam of five winners, by Cyllene, from St. Donatts. by St. Simon. She was a good winner and a half sister to the dam of Pommern, the best horse of 1915, when he won all the English classic races. OTHER SALMON FOAL. Mr. Salmons three other mares in England have all produced foals. Princess Sterling has a handsome colt by Bachelors Double and has been mated with Jay Crusader. This colt is a half-brother to St. Louis, winner of the Two Thousand Guineas and full brother to a fine colt sold for 6,000 at Doncaster last year. Zefa, by Orme — Ornament, dam of Sceptre, has a fine lengthy colt full of quality. He is by Swynford. The mare has been bred to Buchan. Brig of Ayr, the dam of GarpaL Fordinbridge and other winners, has a filly by Swynford. Lnfortunately, Mr. Salmon sustained a heavy loss when the mare succumbed to blood poisoning a short time after foaling. Several English breeders had vainly endeavored with big offers to purchase Brig of Ayr from Mr. Salmon, who refused to be tempted. His sportsmanship in refusing to sell was ill rewarded when the mare suddenly died. Her foal is promising and being brought up by hand. She is so well bred that she must possess great breeding value in any evenL
