Nellie A., 2:19, stands to the head, but
there are regarded serious obstacles In
her way from the local contingent OF
horse critics around Lexington, mainly
her size, as she is 1871 hands, and
weighed before the present seasons

pounds, Well, one thing remember,
she was a big two-year-Old and won
three SIS, 900 stakes last season and If she

The new grand stand at Chenille
track is an imposing structure, and is
quite becoming addition 10 this popu-
lar race course, but the wonder Is now
In the minds of many visitors and horse
men as to why they did not. before
building the $4,000 grand stand, make
the popular track wider in the home
stretch, to keep pace with the progress
OF the harness racing industry, as now
adavs we see large fields in almost every
race, and to get off Is TO IS starters as
sometimes now comes to the wire, many
OF them

are wonderfully handicapped by the
dozen that are in front, and oftentimes
good horses entirely lose their chances
to win. A few years ago, when one sell
dom saw field OF ten, or, indeed, 1t was
at rare intervals, fifty or sixty foot
tracks were amply satisfactory, but it is
wearing upOu Tue pat'chNO va "H $500

starter to give all fair chance as they
come now.
The meeting that opened Monday has

the rules, and 1t must have been in a
moment of utter forgetfuness OF the
prohlbitive clause, as regards swerving
In the home stretch that be forced

side fence. The Judges, who are ever
on the alert here for faulty happenings
or intended wrongs, promptly dis
tanced Red Bud, Curry's friends
were strong in the faith OF
the chestnut son of Red Fern
TO come out OF the race crowned with
victory and sheckles for them that had
been wagered on the result, and 1t was
hard fall TO lose on race like this.
