Mr. Cassatt is a generous. honorable and honored
supporter of the turf. Every honest man would be

Bu there seems to be some fault the training or the
riding IL the Dryers had his horses they would easily
win with twice many races as Mr. Cassatt WINS
Not that he cares for the money value OF the prizes
But IL he had such trainer as Rowe or McCaoe OF
Stops or snedeker. and such jockey as Mclaughlin
or Donohue Hayward the honors OF the race-course
would cluster hcky on his brow ana many OF inc great
stakes would all to his lot.
