who can beat Han dor for the der
byT" From his race with Plaudit
Thursday he will be a hard horse TO
beat. He looks like as fast a horse as
Hanover ever got, and he is certainly

ter a sister to Han dor. Mr.. Brown
has always been in the cattle trade. but
around his home place he keeps from
two to ~fve-never more than nve-

when he gets his own price, which Is
high for a good one. and very low for
one whose foals do not suit his critical
eye. He will not keep a poor breeder.
and he never buys a mare that he is
afraid to breed to the highest priced
horse i'm his stable. IL the horse suits
him in conformation and breeding.
