We of the Judith hail with much de-
light the news that Dan Crowley of
Lewistown has added another role to
his already large and brilliant roper
tory. As a club man, sporting man.
politician or as a staunch friend Of the
ladies Dams past successes are known
TO all. They stand out as plainly as a
pimple on the nose of a vain woman of
the world. Dams latest act is that of a
veterinary surgeon. In the past, when
necessary to treat a horse for the collie
or in the administration of a bran mash
for a too closely fitting hide, Dan was
always successful, but when it came to
IL knowledge of equine anatomy-well,
he found out hat he was not at all in it.
Yes, it was indeed an unlucky day
when the lately deceased buckskin colt
found his way into Dams herd. There
was no friendly hand to stay the mex
perienced knife, so the colt died and
Crowley was the slayer. Dan essayed
to geld the unfortunate animal and
ceeded nicely in removing the left kid
ney.

We call attention to an article else
where giving the iniatory steps toward
organizing a fair and racing associa-
ton. Though started last week, nearly
$1,000 have already been subscribed.
The capital stock OF the association

our horse growers are represented,
but this is because they have not had
the opportunity to sign. We feel sure
they will give the project their hearty
approval and subscribe literally. II

Rfnfax got slightly the best of the send-of
and kept the lead to the finish. The race was fast
from the start, and although Geraldine did her
best, could not catch the colt. The mare was
whipped numerically by her jockey, and re-
sponded by burst that carried her little
nearer Rinfax, but Narvice, who rode Rinfax,
drew his whip and the colt crawled away from
Geraldine, coming under the wire two lengths
ahead. Rinfax is years old, and 10 the prop
erty of the Undinc stables. He is by Argyle, out
