Fred Cook, the St. Louis thurman,
will ship his string of crack horses
east from san Francisco in time to take
in the big Memphis spring meeting. He
has his promising S-year-old colt Odnor,
by Pirate of Penzance, entered in the
Turf Congress Stake while John Baker
Haviland and The Monk are in the
Montgomery handicap and Peabody
Hotel handicap. Strange to say, Cook
has failed to enter John A. Morris.
Tayon or Great Bend. three of his best
horses, in any of the Memphis stakes.
These horses will doubtless be fresh
ened up for the big ST. Louis and Chi
cago stakes. Cook has the crack light
weight jockey Eddie Dominick. under
contract. Up to date. Cooks horses
have performed rather disappointment.
When he shipped west last fall all hands
predicted that his stable would surely
cut big figure in the racing at Oak
land and Tanforan during the winter.
but so far Tayon has been about the
only horse in the stable to earn his feed
bill. The long trip across the Rocky
Mountains, together with the sudden
change of climate and water, is thought
to have knocked Cooks horses out for
the time being. Later on the stable
will doubtless be heard from more
favorably.
Sam Hildreth will campaign a strong
stable of horses through the middle

close study Of the horse situation in
America today tiiscloses a startling arrow
OF facts. The difference in the census az

TACT that although the population has in
creased very materially. the number Of
hofses IN the United States has de-
creased. until there is an actual short
age IN the supply of horses. In the last
decade the foreign demand for horses
mas been enormous, and together with
domestic consumption, the suitable horse
is not only scarce article. but a costly
one. The transactions of the CONNER
cial world are largely dependent on the
horse. and the leading society function
is the annual horse show. King Horse
has been elevated to a higher plane than
ever, and he is the erstwhile idol of the
hour. Those who loudly Wanted the
advent of the horseless age have failed
miserably in their prophesy. Naturally
with this state of affairs existing if is
but natural that the wiseacres should
confidently predict an era of uneya.A
