THE DIVERS REPUTED SEVERITY:
"You have tue reputation OF being severe, may say
cruel in your treatment OF horses, remarked to the
| brothers,
| al know it,r said Philip Dwyer frankly " ana I
| can't understand it. We never did run horse when
| he WAS out OF condition, and we think we know as
well and better than the public when our horses are
| fit to run We have no farm 10 which to retire our
usedup racers, and therefore obliged to sell them
| OF give them away. But very particular about
the persons to whom we dispose of them, invariably
trying to place them where they will be tendery cared
for. When we got through with WSrheld we were
be purchaser, We made present OF the horse to his
old trainer, Edward Brown, OF Kentucky who, we

Since their trade for Miss Woodford nearly all thu
purchases made by the Dryers have been colts OF a

consequences. The Dwycr brothers invest from
$40, 0U0 to 100000 every year in yearlings, from
which they secure two three hrst-class colts Last
winter they expended $3.50, 900 stable that had
never earned dollar They own at present fifty
high-bred horses, the majority OF which may never
win a stake.

day on the little track around the stable. Their
exercise is taken usually in the forenoon the colts
being led by stable-boys ridden by apprentced
with new-mown grass. The stalls are thoroughly
cleaned every morning and are filled to q depth OF
three feet with rye straw, which ls changed twice
week. There Is nothing in the stalls that can hurt
kicks. The hay rack is five feet from the ground and
up in corner. In another corner equally high
up, is lump OF rock salt The feed box is portable
and hangs on bar at the door while the animal
feeds when the meal is over il is taken away. The
colts are hearty eaters rule, each one receiving
twelve quarts Of oats and twenty pounds OF hay in the
twenty -four hours the feed being divided into three
meals morning, noon and night.

carrots given for change. The colts broken

has little difficulty In riding them. The success OF the
Dryers with their two-yea -Ods has been phenomenal
This may be accounted for by the quality Of the colts

put through Of sprouts By that excellent
TRAINER Frank McCabe, under the immediate super
vision of the brothers. All In ALL their stable may be
pronounced model one: it is misfortune that there
are not like it.
