EARNED MORE THAN s164,0U0

NEW YORK, September 3o.-A sue
cessful bread winner In the world OF the
thoroughbred horse Is a fine thing to be.
Even If the horse doesn't nppear to know
much about IT, there are plenty of 5hu-
man beings who do, and many a. pleasant
hour is spent In gabbling over the per-
fornances OF the more celebrated Of the
four-footeds flyers.
Just now the United States happens to
possess n colt that has set two continents
talking, because Of the easy manner In
which he has been earning oats for. him-
self ana some Of his less fortunate COM
pnnons. Ellis name Is ss.aonby. Flo be-
longs TO Mr.. James r. Keene, who has
possessed many another good youngster
In his time, but only one that WAS more
OF financier than sysonby. This was
Domino. q 5}T3
Sysonby, Of which American turfmen
arc all SO proud, has earned more than
$4,000 for his owner and he Is engaged
In more stnke races for the present sea-
son, to say nothing Of his posi- blllties IN
1906 ana the years to come, If Mr.5l<eene
decides to keep him on the track and the
world uses him well.
There aren't many "big bugs In the
horse financial world, when you come to
look the list over. Those that can give
away 800 900 or more to postcrity are
few and far between. OF the lot there
aro& but two of the weaker sex MISS
Wooclford was one and Fircnzi another.
Remember what great pair of racers
they We're? .s sE5
Two Famous Horses.
There Used to be men who would sit on
tho rail at the race track and swear pV
Miss Woodford and Frenzi. Their fame
still exists, but they are seldom spoken
81 M except by the members of the old
guard who become reminiscent every
timc that some youngster Of tho present
hobs up viii, n good performance, and
begin TO cudgel their brains for n race
that they saw back In the seventies
which could beat 1t a city block. ~
Domino Is the greatest money winner
that tho American turf ever had.. Il
wouldn't be surprising II Sysonby should
catch him before another year is over.
and it wotld be less surprising II he
were to 90 ahead of him. II he winters
