and the public invested on the race, but il
was most betitting. For nearly half a GEN.
fury the name of Swigert has been prom
inent in the annals of the American turf
Carlsbad was bred in the heart of the blue
grass region Of Kentucky at the historic
Elmendorf stud, the nursery OF Salvador,
F'lrenzi, fremont Los Angeles and other
equine stars whose performances have
passed into turf history. Ere Robert A.
Swigert, conspicuous ornament to the
western turf, donned his Arst pair of long
trousers, he was the proud owner OF
! Lady Wayward, one OF the gamiest and
speediest of race mares and the dam OF the
winner of the American Derby OF 1892 Since
his early colthOod it has been the intention
of the Swigert family TO install Carlsbad al
the head of the stud rs the successor OF
his SIRE the great Gelenelg, and with that
end in view he had been so iudulged thai
the racing public came to regard him as
household pet, aud subjected TO a liberal
discount his owners tiattering estimate oil
his racing qualities.
While the appetite of the assembled
thousands was being whetted by the two
interesting purse races thst preceded the
event OF the day, Joseph Swigert, uncle OF
| Robert, and brother of Daniel. bobbed in
and out through the crowd on the lawn
exchanging greetings with the dis
tinguished Kentuokians who formed nj
small part of the groups of well-groomed
men who elbowed their way through the
holiday crowd. He is not betting man
but apart from his family interest in the
stake and the prestige accruing therefrom
he stood 10 win $1,000 in the wittel
books and he felt confident. This conf
dence he tried to share with his friends
but they thankfully declined. They re
ceived his advice with raillery, patted hin
good on the back, and went of
to play ARA, whittier the public followed
them.
Now, you all mind what Pm a-telline
you" said Uncle Joe when he struck ar
appreciative listener; 'if Carlsbad win:
Pm agoing to celebrate. Dye know wha
that means! Well, 1t means that I'm 60
ing to celebrate-that's all.''
And he did celebrate
