finishing in front.
Grimnins IS another OF the alert type
who Viii get along. He Is the Bob FftZ-
Simmons Of the local riding colony. He is
star scrlDuer. hence he will be called
'aiirky' all mis- life. And he is built some
Whaf Cn the order of the Australian rug.
He is nearly all legs. but, from his waist
up, while rather short. he is wonderfully
sturdy. He has 4 tremendous uair of
shoulders and arms. and is an exception
ally strong finisher. He looks I.k. a boy

There will probably he a crack lot Of
o-y-ear-olds uncovered here this winter. It
has always beer the case that the Texas
bred srrintcrs of o. G. Parks have been
able TO trim the more fashionably bred
ones they have met here in the early
three-furlongs dashes. but whether they
will make suC.l good showing this year
is open n speculation. Last year the
Morrises showed one, Niperine. that could
hold her own with the young Gallantry
colts. and this year Doc Street Will send

farm. and Sam H!ldreth will probably
bring down the entire thirty-nIne recently
purchased by him for f. E. Snathers;
A lot of other good ones are also spoken
Of around the track. and when the young
sters begin to parade there will be lively
times.
An odd state OF affairs came up here last
week when the mare Nowe,a was entered
by Jenkins Brothers. Presiding Steward
Bryan. in looking the mare up in the form
chart records. found a note that. after
winning a race at Deimar, the mare was
placed on the prescribed list.
Mr.. Bryan, pending an investigation OF
the matter. ordered the mare scratched.
and then wired Secretary Woodruff of the
Western Jockey Club for particulars. Mr..
Woodruff answered that there was no ru!-
ing recorded against the mare. and she
was accordingly permitted 20 start when
she was rc-entered. and came near carry
