he humorously remarked that hundreds of
people would go to the P0ughkeepsie meet

to see the meaneSt man on earth get killed.

looks she would have continue! round OF
victories, but nature, after making her
racehorse. afflicted her with a species OF
nervous rheumatism, which has crippled her
when big prizes have seemed within her
grasp. The Lady. who is by Miser, out of
Bonnie Lass, by imDorted Buckden, Second
dam Bonaventure, by Harry of the West
third dam Maggie G. by Brown Dick, is n
chestnut tilly, looking scarcely more than
pony. A close examination. however, shows
her power. She is picture ITO follow"
with grandly muscled quarters right down TO
the hooks, a splendid shoulder, deep barrel
and strong back.
