Mr.. Galway Is sportsman OF the old
school. He has been a member OF the
Board of Control has been one OF the
Board of Stewards and has been looked
upon generally as one Of the pillars OF
the turf At his stock farm, Preakness,
near Paterson. N. j.. many good race
horses have been bred. especially Linden
and Belvidere. The "old man." as he 10
called has his own IDEAS about racing,
and would rather own a winning selling
platter that he had bred himself than a
great stake horse that was bred by some
other person. He Is on the turf because
he loves a racehorse, not because he
makes money out Of the game. AS a
matter of fact his turf experiences have
cost him many thousands of dollars.

got judgment against the Association,
Of which Mr.. Withers was the head, for
something like $4,000. Mr.. Withers in
tended to carry the case to higher
court, but before the time arrived to
move in the matter he died.
