STUD NEWS AND NOTES.

— Carbine is now- standing at a fee of £200. — The Irish stallion Galimule's list is full for 1905 and 1906 at 200gs a mare. — It is said that the pedigree of an Arabian horse can be traced back for over 2000 years. This item reads a, bit tall, but it is given for what it is worth. — The well-known French breeder and sportsman M. Edmond Blanc has a stud of 66 mares all beautifully bred, and 35 of them have been mated this season with F'lyingiFox. He has also -45 (including foals) of JFiyicg Fox's stock in hand at present. The stable's winnings this season total 210 less than £70,000. — Adam, Val dOr, and Jaidy, three two-year-olds all by Flying Fox, have each won four races this season, and never been seriously extended when gaining their victories. Jardy won the Middle Park Plate with the greatest of ease, but was not opposed by Cicero, or the best of the English two-year-olds which have appeared this season. —Mr J. R. Crossan, of Berwick, reports the folowing foalings at his stud: — Zephyr (St. Olair— Mistral), Eathlinda (St. Clair—Kathleen), and Western Bell (Occident — Bay Bell) have each produced a filly to Peerage; and Susie Wild (Wildwocd. — Susan), Creole (dam of Lieutenant J.), Whroo (Berlin — Waaideroo), Susan, and Butterfly have each produced a colt to George M. Patchen. — Carbine's merit was recently brought to mind by noting that at the A.J.C. meeting held on November 19 Raeburn, by Simmer out of the Carbine mare Carbelle, and Marie Corelh, byCarbine oi\t of Vendetta, got'aruongst the winners during the day. New Zealand blood also got a further boost on the same day by the victories of Philibeg and Sweetness, two ffii Lochiel's progeny. ' — Victorian exchanges report that The Pet, by St. Albans from The West, was recently destroyed at Calstock (.Tasmania). She wa.s 24 years of age, and very feeble. She was hajfsister to both Occident and Devon, ancl was dam of Lilith. Her first foal (1884) was Whizgig (dam of Rapid), a.nd her last (1900) Lord Afllendale. She was a descendant of the late Mr Thomas Field's famous mare, Farmer's Daughter. — Some- interesting stud news comes to hand this week from Mr Crossan, of Berwick. Zephyr, a sister to the defunct Pampero, and Mist, the dam of Vladimir, has produced a filly to Peerage ; and Kathlinda (dam of St. Denis) and Western Belle have also produced filies to the same horse. Peerage is one of tha few male descendants of the celebrated Darebia in Australasia, and the debut of his stock, which, are highly spoken of, should be watched with _a great deal of interest. — iCegio. who, carrying 10.10, won tlie Rosstown Plate, six furlongs, in 1.16, at the V.A.T.C mee'lug on November 19, is one of the best performers up to a inUe seen out in Australia- in recent years-. He is bred on. New Zeal-amd lines, as he was got by Medallion out of Welcome Queenie, a daughter of the Traducer horse Welcome Jack, who won the Great _\ortliem Derby, the Auckland. Cup, Grea.t Atitnmn Haaidicara. and Canterbury Cx^» (twice), in the colours of" Mr J. Pf'brOw. — The most successful sires at the Taliuna Park meeting were Del Palo, Young Burlington, and Kentucky, each of whom sired th» winners of two laces. Del Paso was responsible for Moutero ancl Del Avis, Young Burlington for Miss Burlington, and Kentucky for Queen V. and Cedar. Other successful sires at the meeting were Vancleve (Verity), Prince Imperial (Impetus), Electioneer (General Electiu), General Tracy (General H.), Mambrino Mao (Miracle Jack), Almont (Embrace), Young Irviugton (Neglected), Fopthorn (Kohuru). and Kremlin (Alamra), and Stewardess gained winning .honours for Brookholm. — Jardy, -the winner of this year's Middle Park Plate, though bred in France, is of English parentage, his sire being the Derby winner Flying Fos, and his dam the Oaks winner, Airs and Graces, who was sold to M. Blanc for 3000gs. She is by Ayrshire out of Lady Alwyue, by CambaUo, and was bred by Major Fife at Langton H»il in the North Riding. Lady Alwyne's dam was Florence Aialabie, by Young Melbourne, but in Jardy's pedigree Galopin ia the dominating note, for his name occurs three times, Flying Fox having been closely inbred to the 1875 Derby winner, while Atalanta, the dam of Ayrshire, was also by Galopin. Tho Blacklock blood also comes in through Irony (the granddam of Flying Fox), who was by Rosebery, and through CambaQlo, whose maternal granddam was Volley, an own sister to Voltigeur. Therefore, though Jardy is of Stockwell descent in tail male, he has much more Blacklock than. Birdoatcher blood, but when extended, says the Field, lie reminds one of Flying Fox, Orme, and Ormonde, and he- lias very httte Newininster appearance, though Ayrshire was by Hampton, and Cainbuscan (tha sire of Camballo) by Newminster himself.
