which he has bestowed the name OF Fair

ago from Capt ]. E. willard, the Lieu
tenant Governor elect OF the Old DOmin-

by good judges OF horse flesh.
Several days ago man who has fol-
lowed the races considerably. and is i'm
bued with the idea that what he does
not know about thoroughbreds is not
printed In the books, went to see Fair
fax. II should be remarked here that
Colonel Mullany is a deep student and
reads a great deal A friend had pre-
sented him with a copy Of Ambrose
Bierce's book. containing the story call
ed "Chicamauga.
He sat poring eagerly over its pages
when the horseman came in and began
10 talk about the good qualities Of Fair
fax. Colonel Mullany paid little atten-
tion TO the visitor. being too much inter
ested in what he was reading. Finally.
the man asked, speaking Of the horse:
whats his breeding?"
Colonel Mullany misunderstanding the
question thought he said, "whatyer read
ms" agd replied.
"Chicamsuga by Ambrose Bierce.''
"Oh. well, then, his pedigree is all
right % exclaimed the horscman, "Chica-
mauga is mighty good mare. and Bierce
