the course the best In this part OF the coun-
try. Mr.. Rowland says he has found 1t
necessary TO use the sbOw-horse barns for
the training speeders on account or the

all that apply. Every thing is TO be per-
fectly on the square. There will be no gam

Both of these young horses are not only

1t Is indeed difficult TO find q young
horse that carries blood that representa-
Uniform and extreme speed more than that
found in Doctor Mack. His sire. AFRO
wood. is one of Nuswood's very best bred
Bons. and as n sire promises to outrank tho
record of even that great horse. lt Is ex-
pected that he will place at least seven two
snd three-year-olds in the list this season,
that number having proved their ability
80 perform in standard time. Glenwood
Prince. that Is ont OF the dam OF Doctor
Mack. is now In George Starts srable at
Terre Haute and gives every promise of
being q sensational performer. The other
BtailloD, CharoD. comes very near be-
ing what can be called thoroughbred
frottern he having four standard genera
lions on the maternal and i've on the pa
ternal side of his pedigree. He was sired
