boots forward and quarter boots behind,
and carried his regular seventeen ounce

plum colors, and the STALLION called forth
much admiration by his free action.
The breeze meanwhile had consider
ably increased and betting in the
auction pools was p to 10 hat Phallas

badly. Phallas particularly suffered from
the latter defect. Besides the wind wa
