Another very successful and popular member of the Jockey Club is Lord Rosebery (1870), and the same may be written of Mr. Leopold de Rothschild (1881), and Mr. C. D. Rose, (1891). We should say that the best bearer of the blue and yellow cap was St. Frusquin, who was unlucky to have been foaled in the same year as Persimmon. It was the same with Mr. Rose whose Ravens- bury fell in the same season as Isinglass. But it may be that Cyllene was the best horse that ever carried the blue-black sleeves and red cap. Lord Rosebery has raced for many years. He has won all the five classic races, but there is no doubt one of the proudest moments of his life was, when Prime Minister, Ladas won him the Derby. Prince SoltykoflTs (1867) colours are always well received, and so years ago were those of General Owen Williams (1881) and the Marquis of Zetland (1875)- In conclusion, we may add that the Duke of Richmond and Gordon is the oldest living member of the Club. His Grace was elected as far back as 1838, and then comes a wide gap, for we have to come to i860, the year the Earl of Coventry and Sir Frederickjohnstoneenterea the Club ; four years later comes Mr. Henry Chaplin. Apparently the last member elected was Mr. J. W. Larnach at the recent July meeting of the Club. VOL, Lxxiv. — NO 487. 13 I70 [Septbmbek How are we to Breed Cavalry Horses ? It may sound rather gimcrack to take up a theme from the lessons which this South African war has taught us but probably your readers will be interested in a review of the situation as regards the means that must be employed towards the encouragement of the home breeding of horses for cavalry and mounted infantry purposes. It is well to know that the War Office, as well as the country generally, is alive to this question, and its ventilation has brought forth an abundant crop of suggestions, both practical and the reverse. Mr. Phillpotts Wilhams has suggested a scheme of horse breeding and rearing by Government on a large scale on tracts of land leased or purchased
