The stallion Arion, by Electfoneer.
dam Manette, by Nutwood, is critically
sick with pneumonia at the stables of
his owner, j. Malcolm Forbes, at this
place. There is said to be very Httle
hope for Arion's recovery. He was
purchased by Mr.. Forbes as a 3-year-
old of Leland Stanford for s125,oo0 AT
that time he had a mark of 2:10A as
2-year-old to high wheeled sulky, and
this mark has never been beaten As
a 4-year-old he made a record of 2:07A.
He is now years old. .ttAe

many people anxious ito get a bet down
on Mike Murphy on the strength of his
FAMILY connections that the stable
would never be able to place a decent
wager. / am not saying, mind you,
that II was on this account that the
colt was christened 'Rastus, but simply
to bear out the argument that there
are whole lot of things to be consid-
cred in naming a horse. Take the case
or Fleur de Lis, for instance, the
Maxim filly that won the Racing
stakes. The ladies who were out that
day were greatly taken up with the
name Fleur de Lis. and they all had
bets down on her. Her price was cut
from IL to / to to in no time. and
when she won her owners money was
on at the short price. I'll wager If he
had the naming of that flly over again
he'd call her Cross-Eyed Mag, or some
thing equally unpoetic."

barring accidents. have two 3-year-olds |
