He asserta that there are Dow in Engiand 2,000 more horses run- ming long distances’ and carrying heavy weights than there were twenty years ago, and that the present system of early training is the oniy way of geuting vid of worthless weeds and maturing strong and enduring English race horses. The Thoroughbred Horse—The Anglo- Arab Racer—Admiral Rous on Turf Prospects, [From the London Times, Feb. 9.] To THE Epiror or THE TimEs:— Sin—The racing season of 1873 expired without any symptoms of decay. This does not bind me to the fact that there is a Diack cloud on the hort- zon threatening destruction to the turf. It is some advantage ‘To hear tho thunder ere the tempests roar, The billow ere it breaks upon tae shore. Equine historians, from the earliest records, have written absurd nonsense. In 1756 W. Osman states :—“it is a cruel thing to say, but a very true one, that among the present breed of horses in this nation a man or any tolerable judgment can hardly find one in fiity for his purpose, either de- signed to draw or to ride.” In the Gentleman's Magazine, 100 years ago, “Senex” complaing of the deterioration of our horses by the introduction of Eastern blood, which has had the same effect on our breed as the vices of France and Italy on our degenerate nobility. We have now modern writers quite equal to their predecessors, One complains that in breeding strength and endurance are not thought of; speed for short races is all in all; and even this quality 1s damaged in tue end by the strain prematurely put apon the horse’s powers. Anotuer writer says | itis high time that Parliament in:erfered to check system; and @ third, “The Jockey Club were em- boldened to Oy in the tace of French experience, aud to devise that no limit suould ve put upon the time when two-year-olds should be stripped ip pudiie’—he knowing that the 22d of Marca was fixed as the commencement of the racing season. To which EF repiy that strength ana endurance are the summum bonum of all breeders, and that we have 2,000 more horses running long dis- tances and carrying heavy weights than we had twenty years ago; that breeders are not such fvols a8 to Carry on their wade at a loss; that in France and Germany the cleverest and the most successful sportsmen run two-year-olds for our earliest. spring races without damage to their suture prospects. Filleae Air won the Woodcote, the following year the Great Three-Year-Old Stakes, including the Oaks, and finished by the Alexandra Plate. M these gen- tlemen had avy pretensions to racing lore they would comprehend that the Ist of August is the | worst day in the season to commence two-year-vld | racing, especially for one mile, because it neces- sitates ast galioping on the hard ground in June and July, and I recommend my French and Ger- | Man ineads to commence on the Ist of Apri, Our two-year-olds ure HOL 80 Severely treated vecause our courses are restricted to lour aud five iur- kungs—rarely to 8ix surlongs—beiore Juiy, and the Jocacy Club Made a Most avsurd alteration in tie fliteenta rule—"that no two-year-olds suould furlongs — for Kun avove six sweepstakes.”” apparently to e courage speedy jades, ‘there cau be ho objectiou to running @ mue in Septem. | ber. fwo-year-vld rac.ng Commenced at Newmar- ket in 1799; 1n 1.97 & Weight-.ol-age race, turee miles, Was estavlished, two-vear-vids carrying & featuer, ft was the most tuterestiug aad popular Face M the autumn.

No wise man could disregard such Past MAXIMS AS these; yet there are weak mei who would ask Paritament to interfere and force us to run counter to them. In the olden times, when Six nile Faces and four mile beats were in Vogue, our racehorses were about the same form as our butchers’ hacks, A» we advanced im civilization we became more mercilul; heats have been abol- ished, courses shortened, and the result is that four or five mile sweats under three suits of clothes are almost unknown, to the great improve- ment of the animals, Livery owner of a stud tries | to breed the stoutest horse, because he is of the highest Value; but a person arganmg that by run- ning long courses we shall propagate a stouter race ought to qualify for a lupatic asylum, With respect to long or short courses, it is a mat. | ter of taste, and it is the height of nmpertinence to dictate to any horse owner how he is to amuse himself 50 long as he runs on the square; for every restriction on any trade, unless actually impera- lve and the Corny ea demonstrated, is re- pugnant to British fe to A nobdie lord, ascertaming that there were 741 races in 1872 under a mile, which afforded amuse- ment to the million and great satisiaction to gen- tlemen who preier winulng @ short race to losing a long one, proposed a law that three-year-vida should not be allowed to run under a mile, having an erroneous idea that short races enc: a the breed of roarers, He was not aware that Eclipse ‘Was @roarer. If the disease is hereditary we must caten it from hn, My authority is Mr. A. Youatt. I believe that in tropical clumates the disease is unknown. This wasa strange attack on the rights of private property and presumptuous to dictate to men as good as himself yow they are to manage their stud. Nobody dictates to the noble lord how he is to hunt his hounds or to shoot lis coverts. Is ® person who keeps racehorses to forfeit his posl- tion as an English gentieman and to submit to & tyrannical dictation? Before the racing season was limited two-year olds ran in February, Thormanby, the winner of the Derby, won a two year sweepstakes in March, ‘The ist of May was appointed m 1869 jor the com- mencement of two-year races, without consulting or paying the slightest deterence to gentiemen with large studs, or to persons who have em- barked heavy sums in breeding establishments and building speculations relative to the turf Can there be any wonder if a sensation akin to dismay” should spring up with so much at stake? Thetr money is really at the mercy of the members of a selt-elected club, who may some fine afternoon vote down the value of their stock flity per cent, owing to some newlangled notion of sport, or to some silly opip‘on whether or when two-year-olds Should be allowed toran. Lf at the last meeting of the Jockey Club tue petition of all the great breeders and the clerks of the courses, represent- ing upwards ol @ million sterling, to remove the restrictions on two-year-olds, had hot met with Success; If the wishes of 100,000 persons and the in- terests of ten large towns had been treated with contempt, it would have been unpardonable. It Was childish to object vo the 22d of March, when every sensible man tries his yearlings before Christmas, and the members who objected to the Motion have had no serupics in engaging their ‘two-year-olds within the lormerly proscribed limits; equally silly to attempt to damage the Middle Park Plate on the plea chat it hurts the Derby betting, and that two-year-olds were reserved for this par- tuucular race, @ great attraction to Newmarket, General Peet has registered a motion to correct these absuraities—“That no new rule of racing can be paseed or any existing rule rescimded or altered without being previousiy advertised three times tn. the Racing Calendar, and notice given of the meet- ing of the Jockey Club at which it is to be pro- posed. Any owner of racehorses or persons afiected by such Hew ruleor alteration muy petiy tion the Jockey Club through the secretary, all such petitions tobe read at the meeting betore the question is put.’? This may reassure the pub- lie what when wid and visionary schemes are pro- posed some dejerence may be paid to tue mterests of a@ large class of persons who have invested their capital relutive tothe turf, No one would com- plata it the Jockey Ciubconfined its interierence vo Newmarket, but when it arrogates to itséif the most arbitrary means, it becomes a matier ot necessity that those who may suffer should have @ voice in their adoption or rejection, Nothing could be so jatalto the turf asthe in- terterence of Parliament. It could not legislate on matters of th Kiod with success, having nO means of eniorcing breeding, It 1s powerless to dictate the terms upon which the use oi the horse shail take place. Owing to extsung cost aud other dimecuities, 1t can too easily destroy by its dictation what exists; but it cannot reconstruct alter tt has placed hm.ts to the freedom of rivalry. If hunting men compiain o1 the scarcity of goud horses it is owing to our renown, and their value on the Caqn- tinent, whick place them, like our best short horus, at a fabulous price, There will be no de- terioration of thoroughbred stock as long as there are races to win worth many. thousand pounds; but the interference of Parhament, prescriving limits and enorcing Means, would be tantauiount | to a revolution and would anuibilate the turf, Lf | the writers in tae public papers had any wish to | amelorate the ture they might mitigate tae hos- | tuty of the Chancellor of the kxchequer | ald persuade him to reduce the preyos- | terous tax on racehorses, by way O1 en- couraging the breed, and they might point out to our friends across the water the bewuu- fui poucy Of reciprocity.
