Silkwood enjoying life in his box stall
on the ranch.
He will not be driven any more for
speed, his owner now intending to drive
him merely to harden the horse. He
has shown speed enough to prove that
should no accident happen be can con-
sidersbly lower his record made last
year.
Horse talk is all one hears now-a-
days, and visit to the race track dis
closed the fact that there are many
horses doing fairly good work there.
H. w. Sylvester has taken Nutford to
his ranch, but will again work the horse
in time for the races here.
