MI Colt gave a big price for the horse,
namely, for horse solely for jumping
purposes-so 1T will be a disappointment
TO MN IL he does not mend his ways and
take more kindly to his new vocation. A
morse with his speed, staying ability and
Welght-carrying power is just the animal

1T Is a good idea to be a little guarded
in your remarks when addressing an en-
tire stranger. Tom King, the hero of the
big fight with Heenan, in after life be-
came very prominent and prospero1,s
boekmaker iii England. He was a tall.

At the race meeting at Warwick in
England big, clustering bettor. who
was evidently not a racing man or he
would have known King. came and claim
ed bet off him. King searched his book
over once or twice but could find no trace
of it, and informed the bettor "he must
have mistaken him for some other book
maker This the stranger vehemently
denied and announced his intention, If
King didn't pay him there and then, of
proclaiming him welcher, which would
mean a rough deal for him at the hands
of the mob.
Don't you do it now. You are mis-
taken in your man and I shall make it
mighty unpleasant for YOU
The man wouIu not be warned in time
but started to put his threat into execu-
ton. He had the word "welcher' half out
of his mouth, when King seized him by
the throat Twisting him around, he took
hold of him by the nape of the neck and
the seat of the pants. With gentle run
of 20 yards or so, he lifted his 200 pounds
of avoirdupois and landed him with tnud
over the fve-foot ornamented fence on
his back and into the track. Either the
fall or the astonishment completely over
came the stranger. AT any rate he did
not care to renew his application, and let
it go at that.
When Tony Taylor first came to this
country as trainer for Senator Sanford
he understood nothing of the advantages
of the watch for training purposes. In
deed, he had always heard the use of the
watch in training horses ridiculed by
horsemen on the other side.
The senator understood this, but wish
ing Tony to become accustomed to using
it, brought him one down from the city.
They were about to work some horses
and the senator instructed Taylor how
to proceed in his management of the tim
ing machinery. Tony took in all the in
structions. and having told the boys what
he wanted of them, sent them off to work.
The senator stood by his side at the fin
ish, and each held watch on the horses
After the work was over the senator
turned to Tony with the remark:
We'll, Tony, how fast did you make
it?"
Tony glanced down at his watch for a
second to see what that had to say, and
then turning his face to the senator with
a smile, said:
by gum! l forgot to pull the bloomin'
trigger.
