occurred In the history OF racing.

olds. Red Damsel won by length and

IL Is old-this romance or legend OF King
Arthur and his doings, but Mr.. Pyle has
been decidedly successful in putting an
entirely new dress on 1t and succeeds I'm
giving old subject a delightfully."- new
and fresh charm which the youngsters
can't help but read with new sensations or
pleasure
The author IS well known as being re-
sponslble for that classic I'm juvenile
literature, robin Hood" and IN many
ways we are inclined to consider his latest
effort The Story Of King Arthur and
His knights" better than the others.
Each succeeding chapter seems to grow
clearly told. that we feel like paying the
author a compliment by saying II does
