According to what Bill Brannon told the
writer, he at once saw a chance to make
a good thing, and as Hendrie was disgust
ed that his crack should be easily Beaten
by ''haif-breed," he had no trouble buy
ing Glee Boy at a cheap figure. AT De-
troit Brannon fell in with ID. q. McDon-
aid, the ontario lawyer, since celebrated
for his connection with later ringing
schemes, and George Riclings, the jockey
ruled off at Lexington for pulling Meckie

and Dan Clark in other plans.

raced for several years as the ooW'lbine
stable, aud retired completely from the
ringing business.
