session of ongress Mr.. Holman has had
to stand up against no unusual pressure,
such as Mr.. Cannon encountered. No
one has failed to learn that the surplus

purposes of government honestly and
economically administered.
Mr.. Holman and his friends even went
further. They strove with some success

of the great horse. President Hugh Web
ster, of the board of agriculture, formed a
syndicate and raised the enormous sum Of
$l75, 900 for the repurchase of Ormonde.
During the formation of the syndicate
many English breeders and horsemen re-
fused to subscribe because, they said, Or
monde was ''roarer" (Which in racing
parlance means that his wind was affectedl
and as roaring" is said to be hereditary,
these horsemen argued that Ormonde had
left his country for the good of his coun-
try's future racing stock.
Ormonde is bay horse, by Ben dor,
the Derby winner of 1880. Ormonde was
foaled in 1883, started thirteen times,
was never beaten and won the sum Of
sl25, 900 in stakes and purses. Among the
great races that he captured were the
Derby, the Two Thousand Guineas' Stakes
and the ST. Leger. The world famous
jockey, the late Fred Archer, piloted Or
monde to victory in nearly all his races.

No horse has been the subject of more
discussion in Great Britain of late than the

sidered by many turf authorities to be the
greatest horse that ever raced in England,
and when his owner, the Duke of West

Brazil, and the latter carried his prize off
to the Argentine Republic, howl of dis
pleasure arose from the British sporting
public.
