1t is not generally known that the
two-year-old champion Arion came
very near being owned in Cleveland
by j. f. French. The story runs in
this vein: A year ago Mr.. French
asked j. G. Sibley, who was then on
his way to California, to pick out
colt by Electioneer, for him. After
time he heard from Mr.. Sibley, the
latter's selection being bay colt by
Electioneer, out of Manette, and the
price $1,000. 1t took Mr.. Lathrop
some time to get down to that figure,
and finally an option was secured
until Mr.. French saw the youngster.
While Mr.. French was on his way to
California the future champion in
jured one of his hind ankles, and
when the would-be purchaser saw her
he hesitated about giving $4,000 for
yearling with big ankle. The sale
was not made. The colt remained at
Palo Alto and now has two-pear-old
record of 2 :141.
