silkwood Makes n Half-Mile In 1:01X.
Local and Personal.
SANTA ANA, Aug. 2.-The crowd that
assembled at the race track this morning
to see Silkwood work was large one,
and all who went down were we'll re-
paid, for the great horse went half
mile! in :01H. He would have done
considerably better than this had not
Mr.. Willis feared he would break while
passing the eighth post, and brought
him almost to a standstill once. The
trial was enough to convince all that he
could 60 out tomorrow and 60 mile in
2:04.
Speaking about Silkwood, brings to
mind an anecdote of q well-known
Santa Ana divine who wished to pur-
chase stylish black horse, and if such
an animal could be had he would will
ingly pay $3.50 for it. Soon after, Mr..
Willits came to town driving Silkwood,
and when the would-be purchaser saw
the horse he approached Mr.. Willis,
told him he was looking for q good
horse and said he liked the appearance
of the horse he was driving. Would
he sell the horse" Mr.. Willis smiled
blandly, and asked what the purchaser
would pay. and upon being informed
that he would pay $3.50 for the horse
was informed that Silkwood was worth
more money than that. Today the
black PAGER could not be bought for
$25 900, although in his yearling state
he might have been had for q couple oil
hundred.
