Information Regarding Thoroughbred Stallions Owned
by the Kentucky Racing Commission, that are available
for service in Kentucky.



                  INTRODUCTION.


  On September 10, 1915, the Kentucky Racing Commission
met at Lexington and among other matters passed a resolu-
tion appropriating funds with which to purchase a number
of first class Thoroughbred stallions for use in Kentucky.
By the terms of the resolution the stallions are placed under
the control of the Department of Animal Husbandry of
the State University.
  Ten stallions have been purchased for this work. They
are large, docile, breedy animals that will sire useful colts.
They will be sent to the communities where they are most
needed to improve the horse stock. The service fee will be
moderate and from the funds derived in this manner the
expenses of care and keep of the stallions are to be met.
The stallions will be sent to their new homes February first,
and it is probable that they will be returned to Lexington
next fall in order that they may be maintained in first class
condition during the winter.
  The stallions will remain the property of the Kentucky
ltacing Commission at all times, and they will be under the
supervision of the State University all of the time. Infor-
niatirjn regarding them can be secured by corresponding
with Professor J. J. Hooper, Lexington, Ky.
  l' is suggested that parties desiring further information
should write immediately for full particulars.
