Cavendish Hope writing in a London paper says:
The Sledmero Stud, near Malton, in Yorkshire. is the most famous breeding place for racehorses in the world, and the sales of the Sledmere yearlings at Doncaster every nutumn have become landmarks in the history in the Turf, for no other stud has ever realised such prices.
Last week the tradition was well main- tained. by Lady Sykes, who has carried on the stud since 1 the death of her hus

For a hundred years and tore 'Sled- mere has been a chosen quarter for the British thoroughbred. The accommoda tion is unsurpassed anywhere There are fields and paddocks of every size, wonderful ranges of comfortable stables and sheds, and an abundance of shade and water for the mothers of future Derby winners and their young children.

were a secondary consideration. He wan too fond of them. He kept too many, and, as he declined to part with the fillies, the paddocks soon became over- crowded. Only one classic winner, oddly enough called. Sir Tatton Bykes, re- warded the great Yorkshireman for what was really the devotion and work of a lifetime, and that honour did not come to him until he was 74
His son, determined from the first that Sledmere should not be overstocked again. He limited his stud mares to a certain number, and made up, his mind to keep no stallions.
Two of the earliest purchases for the stad were sensational. 12.600 guinens be- ing paid at auction for La Fleclic, and the comparatively small guineas for Plaisanterice of 2,000
La Fleche must have produced nearly $40,000 by her children, while Pinisan- terie, who was shot in 1900 at the ripe, age of twenty-five, was the mother of off- spring which brought the Sledimere stud. a sum of nearly £20,000,
Mumtaz Mahal was born at Siedmere and sold by Lady Sykes for 9,000 guiness to the Aga Khan, and now, after two years on the racecourse, in which she has won for her facky owner nearly £14,000 in stakes alone, she is retiring from active racing to go to the stud.
Few people realise the amount of money which is made by a thoroughbred after bis short racing career is over.
The Tetrarch, for whom a stud fee of 1600. guineas is charged, must have earn- ed more than £100,000 for his fortunate owner. Stallions generally live to a good age and are frequently active when more than twenty years old,
