unhurt but Engineer Cook, jumping from

thrown from the track and the engine OF

garians and their treatment of the Amer
lean boys.
I'VE all did well over there, and the
racing fiourished. A native Hungarian
who rides with the short stirrup and
reins led the jockeys for the season, with
ninety-one victories to his credit Fred
Taral was second, with sixty-eight win
ners Russell a California boy, was third,
with forty -four, and ranked fourth with
forty-three firsts.
Charley Van Dusen was right at my
heels with thirty-nine, and Van would
have done much better but was set down
for fouling, which, 1 think, was purely
accidental.
This kept Charley on the ground for
long time, and he was riding in such
good form at the time of his suspension
that had he not been put down he would
have had a good chance for first place"
When asked what chance he thought
Johnny Reif and Milton Henry had to
win their suits in France, Gray had this
to say:
Johnny Reiff sued two French jour
nails for libel and it is the prevailing
opinion in Paris. where we stopped three
days, that Reiff will win his suits.
Henry, however, is doomed, and from
what we could learn l believe Milt has
no chance.
Instead of taking Reiff's course. he
sued the Jockey club. and here is where
he made a great mistake

RECORD OF DAN PATCH.
At Six Years Old Is Unbeaten and
Holds Lowest Record.

New York, Dec. 17.-While it is the
largest sum ever paid for a PAGER. the $780,
900 which NJ. w. Savage of Minneapolis
has just turned over to NJ. z. Sturgis of
New York for the great Dan Patch is, all
things considered, not extravagant
price. This unbeaten son of the famous
old Joe Patchen is but years old, and in
the three years of his career on the turf
he has earned nearly half the amount
which Mr.. Savage paid for him, and
equaled the worlds record to harness

Mass, five years ago Star Pointer was s
years old when he set this mark, which all
PAGERS have since been trying to reach and
surpass. Since Dan Patch is sound as

and improve his speed the probabilities
are that even in the coming year he VIII
set an exceedingly low mark II this IS
accomplished and the country remains IN
