HIGH PRAISE FOR THE AUSTRALIAN THOROUGHBRED.
An Australian in England, writing to " Augur " on burl matters, says :— In your "Turf Gossip" of March, while commenting on Musket's greatness as a siie, you say you would like to see some of our wealthy Australians import such another animal. That is all very well as far as it goes ; bub I don't believe thero is a good, well-bred two-mile horse xunningin England at the present time ; and I do not very well sec how you can improve the colonial breed ot horses while you have Nordenfeldt, First King, Trenton, Carbine, Chester, Lochiel, Malua, Commotion, and many others to chooee from. The only two-mile horses running in England now are Exmoor and Humewood, and neither of them would bo within 301b of any of the above-named colonial celebrities, even supposing they could be brought together.
