an Austrian archduchess, continues, in
spite of her SNOW white hair and rank

Hunter began his turf career at the

him for a racer. Hunter madet he cir

far east as Chicago. Two years ago he
came 70 the coast with jacob Krause and

nearly eight years Gold Bug made a

The son, Who'll asst night attempted TO

on returning at midnight discovered his
