 | Bill Mellon, 8 Michigan trainer who | taught the best mare of the season, Star Lily, how to go square and fast, says: ''She was knock-kneed. Spreaders and side weights had no effect. So tried piece ot electric webbing reaching from the outside of the knee to the shaft bearer on each side. It worked like a charm and ought te help kneeknockers. I put it on without tension, and when the knee is doubled il has tendency to pull the joint outward"
 William L. Scott was not surprised by Torso's defeat of Reclare in the Flatbust stakes. When the elevator boy at the 1 Fifth Avenue Hotel asked him in the morning what he thought of the race he re pled: "My colt will win in a walk. It's { dead sure thing. Nothing can beat Torso to-day" The ex-Congressman probably had little money on, as sJimmy"' Nc Cormick was seen to invest five hundred dollars at the comfortable odds of twelve tt four. There was an impression that Torso could not run in mud, he slipped an( spra.vled so badly on certain occasion a Monmouth, but, to judge by his perform ance at the Flatbush, he is as much in hi! element in heavy going as his sister Aurelia IN. Y. Tribune.
