five years contract with the Hamlins
expires this fall. Nobody at present

Star Pointer or Brown Hal.
Will Kelly has lots of good hors

thousand dollars in stakes an,
purses, sold the horse for a larg
price, has returned home and say
he is done with the race horse busi

arrived at Cumberland Park, Nash
