Another Nodaway Horse

The Northwest Missouri horse is get
ting reputation all over the United
States. "What- er lou" a four year old.
bred and raised by Lamar Brothers, of
near Elmo, is adding greatly to his repu
tatIon. Two weeks ago he won tie
inaugural on the st. Louis race track
winning purse of $500 for his owners
John Huffman & Co., Of Louisville, KY,
and this week he won the gentlemen's
club stakes event, winning purse OF
$500. The former event was a mile and
half dash. He made the latter dis
tance in POS, leading the horse which
won second place by eight lengths.
What er lou" has had history, which
when it becomes known, is likely to be
looked upon as n phenomenon. Two years
ago, when he was & two-year-old, he was
shipped to Louisville by the Lamar
Brothers and Charles Ramsay, along
with car load other well-bred horses.
The Kentucky market was gIutted with
blooded animals that year, and it looked
for awhile like none Of the horses in the
car load would be sold. Finally, What
er-Lou" and another colt, whose name
has since been forgotten, we're put up at
auction, and both were knocked down to
Huffman Il Company for $50.
Huffman's trainers decided that there
was something in "What er-lou" and he
was carefully trained. Last year he won
almost all the three year-old events in
which he was entered, and he started
off in a way that promises to make him
star this season.
"What er-lou" was named by Charles
Ramsay, Postmaster Grem's genial as
sistant in the postoflice. Judge Ramsay
his father, is great admirer Of Napo-
leon, and it was because OF this that
Charley decided to name him Water
lou. The rather fanciful spelling Of the
name Is original with him. What
er- -lou's" sire Ia White" and his dam
"Alma Lamar" both OF them still owned
by the Lamar Maryyiile Republican.
