 George Klctzbach who is training the well known Cobrc Graado horse that belongs to the Greene and Pack ard string, worked his pride and joy around the uack in 2:141a. though the time announced was 2:15. Cob-c Grandc started to beat 2:1O and failed 70 do it but he trotted a beautiful. mile just the same. There wasn't a break of a step from the wire and he was paced by a running horse under saddle and another in a sulky. IL was fine exhibition of the good material the horse is made of and racing people will keep their eyes on CObre Grandc.
 Cobrc Grandc was raised by William BarEley of Glendale and this incident brought him to a focus. He climbed LID on the judges stand and announced that he had been wanting to talk all day but the judges had r1led him out and now he just had to talk or bust. He said said he was q preacher and everybody knew 1t but Jack Gibson who wouldn't admit anything any way. But even though he was a preacher he liked fine horses and liked to raise them. He raised Cobre CFande and wos proud of it. He said he. had joined the Driving association to try and convert it's members for Inc believed that one converted horseman was worth q half dozen ordinary sinners. lie said though that he had been frightfully lied about since he became a track follower. The sort of sport he indUlged in wouldn't hurt any preacher. He said Brother Plattner had told him that Brother Richardson had told him that s. J. Mcdonald had told him that George KlOtzhach had said that he got excited one day said "gol-darn-it" all of which was a base calunhny and intended to destroy his usefulness in the pulpit The only fault he had to find with the racibS association was that it resorted to the circulation of such islanders. MT. Barkley said a lot Of other things but tiTe was finally called on him and the closing event of the day was an- TOunced. the burro race. There were five starters, King Jones, Claude Jones. Mark Jones, John Crowley and Harry Johnson. Three of them went around the track one way and two the other way. Harry Johnson won in 6:15 and the others all got in before dark.
