ing power, but he is so emphatically SUI
perior to his brothers and sisters that
anything can be expected of him. His
dam is a granddaughter of Virgil's dam,
| Hymenia, another short-cOursed strain.
| Russell completely outclasses all the
| two-year-olds seen thus far by from
seven to ten pounds. He has improved
| in his temper. Walden says he had not
taught him to break properly, and he
| had been ridden by a green boy, which

ent reign, that fugitive from the
wrath of the shah could find a sanctu-
ary in the royal stables. So long as he
