THE PARK ROW BEANERr.

THE PIRk ROW BEINERr.
No small Sob to Find u Name OF the Same Call
ibrc ne ''Dotando" for tho FunernI Crowd
to Bct On-But with Unanimous Applause
tho New Horse Ia Named ''Ncehnnus."
They had q horse christening In Park row yes
terday in the beancry. The Dolan funeral crowd
have been on parade: they have buried scores Of
persons who died penniless and fricndless; they
have had many n good days sport AT the race
track: they have celebrated tho birthday of
Slippery 81, the butter carrier; they have made
Pat Dolan's name famous by bridling a race
horse with II, calling the horse Dolandc, but not
until yesterday did they have n genuine horse
christening. When Dolando was sold the funeral
crowd felt as though they ought to wear
Grape on their rockctbooks. Nephew Meehan
and Hickey the Butcher comfortcd the crowd by
promising to buy n new horse. For three months
they had special agents scouting around tho
country looking for another racer that would
keep tho funeral crowd from falling into the
bean pan,' as they say along the row. They
finally landed a yoarling that was sired by the
imported stallion Golden Garter, with Fedalia
for n mother. They purchased the yeRrling,
which has been entered for the Eclipse stake
to be run next year at tho spring meeting at
Morris Park, and yesterday the restaurant on
Park row was closed up for u couple OF hours SO
that "thc push " had n chance to attend tho
christening OF the now horse.
The funeral crowd assembled at tho restaur.
ant at 2 o'clock. They had not gathered in a
bunch since the day Dolando won the mile race
at Brighton Beach. Coffee was served with
other things In long shiny black bottles. At 3
o'clock johnny Mcchan raped on his desk for
order ana said:
