HIS seems hardly the time of the T yeur to talk about rowing races, does it? If the weather hadn't been so much like the Indian summ you read about it would seem en- tirely out of place to discuss such events. This fall, however, the air has been so warm that there has been plenty of opportunity for the oarsmen to work out, and consequently the sport has been kept alive and kicking longer than ever before, It is a common sight these days to see various scullers in work-outs on the Harlem, and on the Hudson, too, many crews have taken advantage of the balmy weather and gone out for long spins, Maybe it is the unusual weather for this time of the year that is respdnaibile for the great interest that has been aroused in the Colum- bia-Yale eight race, which will course in New Haven Harbor one week from Friday, The Blue and White and Eli haven't measured strokes since July 14, 1895—~ over twenty years ago—and you can't wonder that the students of the two universities are greatly excited over the affair, A big crowd is sure to attend, as the race takes place the of the ¥, Princeton football game, : It is only since the advent of the!

S. Sievier, Who Will Bring Over Noted Stallions and Mares, Declares That Man Who Follows Sport for Betting Alone Is By Bozeman Bulger. A far man who goes out to the racetrack, bets on a horse and shows no interest in the Dreeding, even if his favorite wins, 1s of no use to the sport, of no assist- ance to the breeding indystry and does not love a horse. That, in a nutshell, expresses the views of Robert 8. Sievier, the fam- ous English horseman now visiting America for the purpose of acquaint- ing himself with the methods of American stud farms and the future of racing as a sport. “Moreover,” explained Mr. Sievier, the kind of man I mention Is the one who is responsible for the great- est sport in the world falling into de- cay in America. A person who Is not interested in the breeding of horses has no real interest at a race meet. He ts merely a gambler. “By that I do not mean to say that men ought not to bet on’ horse races, Men always have bet on their favor- ite horses and always will. Without this element the sport would lose much of its zest, but betting should not be paramount.

Slevier has gn mind the impor- tation of twenty or thirty of the very best race horses in all Englasd to America for the purpose of building up our breed. If conditions warrant it is his purpose to bring the choicest horses of England over here and after racing them sell them to Amer- jean breeders. Race horses can be bought at half the usual price in England just now and this, accord- ing to Mr, Sievier, is the time of all Umes for America to buy. Mr, Sievier is Chairman of the Race Horse Breeders and Owners’ Association of England, which is next in importance to the Jockey Club, many prominent horsemen belonging to both organizations, Ho has bred and trained more good horses tha any man im the wocld and has the distinction of having sold a two- year-old for the highest price on rec- ord and for having paid the highest price for a yearling, Mr. Sievier not only owns a big string of horses, but trains them per- sonally, At one time he had a string of forty-four thoroughbreds, many of them stake winners, all of which he trained himself. A few years ago the and all trainers in the matter of win- ners. That year he captured in stakes £32,000 ($160,000), Some of the famous horses owned and trained by this English sports- the great English mare, who was ‘ld to Sir Willlam Bass for $125,000, a record price at that time; Duke of Westminster, Tod- dington, Warlingham, the long-dis- tance handicap champion, and others of lesser note, It is his only regret that he never won a Derby, though he made any number of attempts. Mr. Sievier’s horses have won every other important race in England, “The time is ripe now,” said Mr. Sievier, “for America to atep to the front in the horse industry, and it js the industry that I am Interested in more than in racing. We must have racing, however, as a test for our thoroughbreds. We cannot develop speed or find out what is best in blood for a horse unless we try them out on a track. But for that breeders would lose interest.” “Is racing dead in England now? 1 asked him, “No, not dead,” he replied. “But the difficulty is in realization. For Instance a@ horse that would hav brought $20,000 to a breeder two years ago now be purchased for less than $10,000, It is a golden oppor- tunity for buyers. “tam going to investigate con- ditions here, and if the idea seems feasible it f# my intention to bring over the very best stallions and mares. in all England for racing and breed- ing purposes. For these animals I will pay on an average of £5,000— 5,000, I intend to bring twenty at least.” One of the first moves of Mr. Sievier that startled the horse world was when, several years ago, he paid $52,500 for the mare Sceptre as a yearling, and it proved a profitable investment. He again came into prominence when he sold to George Faber the Duke of Westminster for $130,000 as a two-year-old. Inct- dentally, Mr. Sievier tells an interest- ing little story In connection with that sale, After the Duke of Westminster had been delivered to Mr, Faber and he had received a check for $130,000, Mr. Silevier asked him if he was thor- lv satisfied with hia trade. most certainly am,” said Mr, Faber “All right, then,” said Mr, Sievier, “Tam going (o beat you with Sceptre the first time the two horses meet.” And he did. In the famous event known as the “2,000 Guinea” Sceptre beat the Duke of Westminster ten lengths, “T am going to Pimlico,” said Mr, Sievier, “to inapect the track and look over the horses there, Of course I know they are not your best, but it will give me a chance to see what 1s really needed.” Chetnea A.
