Including a Jumping Race.


The big day of the week at the track
was yesterday. and 1t was a very pref
~. large, exciting, and in some cases
sensational day. The big event, the
Ogden stake. went according to Maud
Ferguson's way of thinking. She is the
star breaker. The lightning break she
made at the start amazed many spec
tators. A great many formed a hasty
idea that she was given two lengths
the best of the flag, just because Starter
Ferguson is the father of T. G. Fergu-
son. the owner of Maud Ferguson.
These men would not yield their point
and actually went to bed last night
brimful of the belief that the starter
mad given Maudie the advantage of the
start, and that Mr.. Ferguson would
nave done the polite thing If he had in
sisted upon some other gentleman tax
Ing the pedestal and making the start
for the horses, two of which his son
owns, thus eliminating every possibility
OF an unpleasant controversy over an
alleged partial start. on the 9TH
er hand, as many men said
that the start was good-a fair
sendoff for the field; that Maud is the
quickest breaker at the track and that
her hasty flight in front was due alone
to her ability to break quickly and not
to any advantage that the starter might
nave given; that the best horse won,
and that's all.
L. Garnet Ferguson, the owner and
trainer of the winner, is probably the
youngest raine in the country. He is
only % years old and has been training
but a short time. "Garny," as he is
Familiarity called, always sends his
horses fn the most sfEt - $780, e..
mans life" Young Ferguson inherits
his training ability, as he is not only
the son of the widely-known starter.
but is also the nephew of H. p. Nc
Grath, owner of one of the most famous
studs in Kentucky and one of the best
known racing men in the country. And
Garny is a handsome young man and
handles MS wealth as he does his horses
to an advantage.
