ONE or THE SIGHTS
at the track Is old Troubadour, the conqueror Of
Miss woodford The horse looks In grand bodily
health, but his legs will not stand training.
Rogers, who has always trained him for Capt s. T.
Brown, tried very hard this year TO get hum up to
race. but whenever It became necessary TO give
him the nnal wind up he went lame. At last 1t
has been determined 10 try no longer with him,
and at the END OF the meeting TroubadOur goes to
Kentucky TO enter the stud.
