AN illustration of the precarious nature of for
tune which is Invested in a race horse was fur
nshed this year by the financial operations OF POr-
ter Ashe's famous flly Geraldine. Last year when
she one of two or three turf sensations, Ashe
could have commanded almost any price for the
crack racer, and il looked very much as though he
would reap fortune on the turf this year. But she
was into the rails and had her fore legs so
ha ,ly that she practically crippled for the
racing year. 1t is said to have been u plot of the
hook-Inakers. She brought only g. 900 at auction.
Ashe won more than this on her in many races last
year.
