Show Drawing the Line. The lines of stud book registration are narrowing. Blood will be the only open sesame. The American Clydesdale association as-sociation after 1S93 will record no mare that docs not show four crosses of registered regis-tered sires and no stallion that does not show five such crosses. This will exclude ex-clude many animals eligible to record in the Scotch stud book. It is a sharp advance of the standard and means that the formative period is passing. And now comes the American Cleveland Cleve-land Bay Society of America with the adoption of the following rule: "This society will not accept for registry regis-try after the close of volume 3 of its stud book any animal showing a direct thoroughbred cross; that is, whose sire or dam is sired by a thoroughbred horse." This draws the line at most of the Yorkshire eo!ieher3 which have heretofore hereto-fore been admitted to the America Cleveland Bay Stud Book. Breeder's Gazette. |
