And the Great BeDeflts to California Breeders That Must Necessarily Arise From Such a Venture. The recent sale of Mr. J. B. Bagnio's yearling fillies in Eogland, opens up a new market for well-bred American bores. It shows first that the English racing men hare no prejudices against American-bred horses; and secondly, that a really high bred horse will sell for as much money there as anywhere else. And it shows likewise that the English remember the great horses of bygone years with memories more faithful than ours. Pantaloon, a chestnut horse, foaled about 1S30 as near as I csn recollect, was far-aod-away the most beautiful horse of his time: and it way Admiral Rons who called him "the first gentleman of ; He was probably the greatest of English broodmare sires, barring Sir Peter, from whom his dam wbb descended. Pantaloon got The Libel from Pas- quinade (sister to Touchstone), by Camel; The Libel got Traducer from Aretbusa (dam of Fern Hill, a great race- horse) by Elis, the Si. L?ger winner of 1836; and Traducer got Sir Modred, who appeared in the list of Australian winning sires six years after his exportation to these United States of ours. It #as the Sir Modred fillies that made Mr- Haggle's London sale the great success it wap, one of them bringing £300 and two others over £600, while three others brought somewhere in the neighborhood of £500. I know of several wealthy Australians who have taken up their residence in London. One of these is Mr. Daniel Cooper who owns New Haven, winner of the Melbourne Cup of 1896 and Moos Meg, winner of the Queen's Vase of 1891, beating the great Nunthorpe. Another Australian who is now prominent in English racing circles, is Mr. J. W. Larnach, owner of the Derby winner Jeddah, who also won the Prince of Wales' Stakes at Ascot and ran second to Wildflower for the 8t. Leger. Mr. Larnach's father
