SMILING PETER Some graceless fell
low has caused an Eastern sporting paper
to print the following story about genial
and well-meaning habitue of our California
tracks, and who at one time resided in
Sacramento: Peter Brandow is q man
well known to the horsemen, and is good
deal Of a character over there, besides he
was one of the original forty miners. He
was, III the days gone by an honest fisher
man by profession, and in that way made
quite a little money. One day 1t dawned
upon Peter that he was originally intended
for a trotting-hors driver, so he hustled
around, sold his fishing outfit for cash, and
began hunting for something 10 do up the
boys. He couldn' get a trOtter to suit him,
SO he bargained with man for a PAGER,
that showed a pretty fair clip, and left the
horse to be sent to him. When he arrived
at Peters stable he was PAGER, sure
enough, but it wasn't the horse he lad
bought. That did not make any difference,
Is he showed some speed and acted well.
Peter named him Swindle, and started out
with him. AS money-making scheme
the horse was a failure, but Peter didn't
mind that as about all he cared for was a
chance to ride in sulky and be around
with the gang. Finally he picked up
trotteT or two that went along a little better,
and with these he was fortunate enough to
get place once in a while. When DOble
and HickOk went out there on their first
trip Peter got chance to drive in a local
race against these two noted pilots from
the East, and he was in the highest glory.
After pretty hard tusSle he beat them
both, consequently he was tickled nearly
H. death. As he came off the track with
the air of a conquerOr and the broadcast
kind Of grin on his face he called out to
q friend: I'm happy, and ready to die.
I've beat the right and left bowers
