RUSSIA TAKES THE BEST
The effect of Russia's purchases of young stallions in England,, in. order to re-establish the- ..one-time famous cavalry regiments was demonstrated at last month s show of premium stallions in the Royal Agricultural Hall in London. ' . ' . . ■' ' A London exchange says that, consequent on the dearth of young stallions, many of the prizes went to veteran thoroughbred stallions of fifteen and twenty. It continued as fol-' lows:—"The judging ring fully demonstrated the extent of the serious loss such a large-scale export ■ of young breeding stock will mean to British light-horse breeding this coming .season. There was such a dearth of highquality young stallions for the judges to handle that very few reserve awards could be made at all. Russia has .paid several thousands of pounds for the British light-horse breeders', most promising youngsters." ■'". : ■ i .'■ '.
