New Impetus Horse Breeding.
The Government's decision to devote the Queen's Plates in future to the object of improving the breed pf horses will be satisfactory, says a home farming iournal, in all except . racing > circles. The plates now given are. 500 guineas at Newmarket, and 300 guineas each at York, Richmond (Yorks), Xiverpopl, Lichfield, Bath Stockbridge, Ascot, Lewes, and Winchester (alternately with Salisbury): a total of £3200. This sum, made up to _.SOOO by a Treasury contribution, will be nlaced at the disposal of a trust of which the Master of the Horse will be a member, and itTs expected to be divided into Queen's nri-es for horse-breeding at the chief Cultural shows. That will be a more St way of encouraging horse-breeding than contributing to, race funds, which do not now want supporting, and in whfch the Queen's Plates cuTa somewhat insignificant figure. _____________————*—_■
