question of her lowering it five or six
seconds the following season.

"Wednesday was the first day Of

NineGy-two head were sold and
brought $17,0 600.
Inc following is from a leading
stock paper, and was written by emil
nent authority in regard to the indie
pendence kite-shaped track, but may
ne of interest to some of our readers.
as Columbia has the only kioe-shaped
track in the South: Everyone now
admits the necessity of early training,
aud a point equally as important Is
the selection OF the place where the
colt IS to be worked. The old fash
ioned, rough, half-mile tracks with
their sharp turns and short stretches
are not well adapted to the purpose,
and many young horses have been
ruined for life by hitting themselves
while being driven at speed oyer they
before their gait had been fully estab-
tished. The regulation mile track
which is often imperfectly cared for
, il not the place to be chosen If access
= can be had to the kite-shaped variety
The one at this place is now admitted
TO be the fastest track in the world
and the advantages to be derived from
working horses over such track cal
be seen at glance. The long
stretches and the one turn, which Ii
practically the same thing, reduces
, the danger of horse hurting him
self to IA minimum"
