THE INDIAN MARKET.
In Australia there have been no purchases of importance for India this autumn, says the “Referee,” but in England n April Silver Balm (St. Primus —Queen Silver) Avas bought for the Chief of Kagal, the owner of Bachelor’s Wedding, and Vidi (Vitez —Winkfield’s Pride) for the Maharajah of Gwalior. It is to be regretted, but it seems none the less certain, that Australia has practically lost India as a market for high-class racehorses. Perhaps Cider may do sufficiently Avell dur ng the coming season to cause owners in India to again turn their attention this way. Of recent years several well-credentialled horses have entirely failed to reproduce their Australian form on being raced in India, and as, in consequence, they have been well beaten by those from England, buyers have naturally been influenced in favour of those bred in the latter country.
