Winnipeg. She is powerful and rangy

wind on our track last summer. She will

dash.

former name was Bashi BazOuk, under
which nomenclature he ran many steeple-
chase races. Since arriving here he has
run mile in 40 with shoes and carrying
1876 pounds weight. His owner, however,

trials and is worked every afternoon.

The Chicago club is still in the lead in
the race for the National league pennant,
