1t will be found that the horses which
have steady and constant work are
the ones which stand the hot weather
best. Spasmodic work is worse on
horses in summer than winter, al
though it is hard enough on them at
any season of the year. A team that is
in the pasture field one day and in the
plow OF on the road the next. will be
found soft and unable to withstand the
hard labor which it would were it given
something to do every day. The idea
of resting up horses is often an erron-
eous one, and generally works more i'll
jury than it does good. a laY-Off of a
few days from hard work does a horse
but little good. The best way to re-
cuperate a jaded animal is to tighten
the work little each day. 1t is much
better than to keep it entirely from
work tor awhile and then start in to do
as much work each day as usual. The
most enduring horses are those which
are kept constantly moving and given
good care while at work.
Gen. Alger, of Detroit, says he is quite
fond of a good horse, but never had one
in race on the track. His experience
has been that his horses have been
faster in the stable than on the road.
He purchased one that was reported by
the man who sold him to him to be SO
fast "that unless he kept his coat but
toned up he would undress him in a
minute" He never went very fast after
he paid for him. One difficulty with
hic hoe hnnn fhsf fh0
watch was too fast for them-a common
experience, he thinks, among men who
are not professionals in that line.

forces on the second day. On the third
day the 1924 pacing class and the 2:4O
trotting class will fill the bill, while on
the last day of the meeting the 2:27 and
the 2:21 trOtting classes will supply the
fun. The purses are from $3.50 to $3.50

Mr.. Phillips, the owner of the Ley
bourne Grange stud farm in England, is
a farmer who resides a few miles from
Maidstone, and who, until within the
past three or four years. knew abSO-
lutely nothing of thoroughbred stock,
but, seeing the late Sir Joseph Hawley's
splendid paddock lying idle, embarked
some of the profits he had derived from
hops in few brood mares. He recently
sold twelve yearlings at an average of
nearly 800 guineas each, filly realizing
5000 guineas, a colt $500 guineaS, and
another 1,150 gulneas.
Since Spokane's arrival at Saratoga
from Chicago, last Saturday, Secretary
Wheatly has been trying to arrange a
mile and quarter special sweepStake
between Proctor Knott, Spokane, Long
street and Long Dance. If Salvador is
sent up there for the IrOquois Stake
next Tuesday, which seems likely, he
also might be induced to enter. Such
race would draw an immense crowd.

or on the American turf, as we'll as The

min Kahn, was, sold at auction at the
Brooklyn track last Monday to satisfy

is owned by W. A. COwleS, of AnsOnia,
Conn. The horse won $4,000 clear as
his share of the $4,000 stake, and his
owner got $1,000 more out OF the race IN
bets at average odds of 10 to 1.
Senator Hearst believes that the only
good Jockeys are negroes and 1rishmen.
The negro, he says, is naturally horse
man. Put him astride a horse, and lin
riding a race he doesn't know what fear
is. The Irishman is all heart and soul,
and if he does know what fear is his
enthusiasm carries him to the front be-
fore he has had time to calculate the
chances.
There are now sixty-three living thor
oughbred foals at Belle Meade, near
Nashville, Tenn, which were dropped
this year. This is the greatest number
of f0als ever dropped at this famous
stud in single season. Among them

sister to BoOtjack, full brother to Eg-
mont, and a half-brother to Bancroft.

garded as fifty pounds too high in flesh.
His shoes weigh five ounces forward
