The catalogues for Short Grass Stud Farm sale are off the press and being mailed out to those who have listed their requests for them. There is, just now, a strong demand for thoroughbred mares, especially for young English mares such as are several of these brought over last summer by Emil Herz, and for mares in foal or with foals at foot. The consensus of opinion is that they will sell well.
