NATIONAL STUD YEARLINGS LONDON, England. — It is announced that an important decision has been reached in connection with the future sales of national stud yearlings. In the past it has been the custom to lease certain of these to Lord Lonsdale for their racing careers, and last year several were leased to the king in the same manner, but the private sale a couple of years ago of two colts at 21,000gs. to the Aga Khan gave rise to considerable critical comment by several big buyers of well-bred yearlings. The director of the stud, Sir Henry Greer, has now determined that there shall be no further cause for complaint in this regard, and the horses will come up for public auction yearly at the Newmarket sales, beginning in July.
