nine times, and retired at the end Of the
season with only one victory to his credit.

Many shrewd turfmen have already select
Cd him as the winner.
Bob Smith. the we'll known horseman,
who returned from the blood horse meeting
at San Francisco not long ago. states that
there will be Ut least 800 horaes from the
Pacific coast on the Montana circuit this
season. Many of them were seen here last
year. but there will also be a good MANY
new ones among them. Mr.. Smith is mn
der the impression that Sir Matthew. who
was sold q few days ago. was bought for
Airkendal Bros. of Helena.
