Y., June 24. The Breeding Bureau of The Jockey Club is continuing its activities with renewed vigor in the State of New York. Two valuable stallions have been acquired within the last few days. They are Chin Chin II., by the Ascot Gold Cup winner Saritoi, from Focus, by Revenue or Blairfinde, donated to the bureau by David Jay Ely of Lyme House, Hauppage, L. I. and Curate, by Fair Play Irish Abbess, by Celt, donated by Joseph E. Widener. Curate is well known to the Metropolitan racing public, having won 5,000 in stakes and purses on New York courses. He ia wonderfully bred, of good size and appearance and absolutely sound. Wideners other contributions to the Breeding Bureau included Mont dOr II., by Val dOr Loneliness, by Ayrshire, which for five years made the stud season at "Horses Home," the farm of George V. Bailey at Glen Head, L I. Mont dOr II. stood seventeen hands high and weighed close to 1,400 pounds. His death last February was a great loss, not only to the Breeding Bureau, but to the breeders of Long Island. Widener also donated the French-bred horse Maintenant, by Maintenon, from the American mare. Martha Gorman, by Sir Dixon, and the sire of Haste, winner of the Saratoga Special and Withers, and now a most successful young sire. AFFILIATED WITH GOVERNMENT. The Breeding Bureau continues its close affiliations with the remount department of the national government, the national guard of the state of New York and the New York state constabulary. Handsome cups and trophies are offered as prizes at state and county fairs and horse shows for the best of the get of stallions owned by the National Remount and Breeding Bureau. The Sturgis Cups, presented by Frank K. Sturgis, chairman of the Breeding Bureau, are offered at Piping Rock Horse Show, Smithtown Horse Show and the North Shore Horse Show, for horses bred on Long Island. The breeding station at "Lookover," Avon,-Livingston County, New York, under the care and management of Mrs. Herbert Wadsworth, is a model as a breeding establishment and Mrs. Wadsworths untiring efforts are greatly appreciated by The Jockey Club and all lovers of the thoroughbred. L. S. Sutcliffe, an English horse photographer, wrote the Breeding Bureau on the Genesee Valley Fair and Horse Show: "Mrs. Wadsworths show exceeded my wildest expectations. Surely there is nothing to compare with it in any country. Fifty-four mares and foals in one class; sixty-nine yearlings in another! The enormity of her achievement is amazing and deserves much more publicity." Curate has been placed with the New York national guard at its breeding station near Huntington, L. I., where Gold Bug and Maintenant have been standing for several years under the management of Col. James R. Howlett. At this station are more than twenty foals and yearlings, almost all clean thoroughbreds by these stallions, and the entire establishment is a great credit to . Colonel Howlett and his associates.
