That was not so a few years ago. Then
authors had other and necessary

in a magazine from month by month,
that its sales would be lessened as a
book. However that mistake has been
put away long since with others. Now

money. He sells his story for serial
publication and gets big price for it.
Then he has it put into book and re-

In selecting names for race horses,
men prominent in all sorts OF profess
sions, together with states, cities NV
ers, and many kinds of business have

The most famous horse named for
a governor was Luke Blackburn, while
Senator Bland was the best thorough
bred ever called afte IA United states

the name of a famous broker was
Jake Greenberg, while Hugh Penny,

all other horses that had been named
for knights OF the plgskln. James h
Keene's Domino received his name De-
cause of his color, and has never been

David Garrick was the most sensa-
tional horse that was ever named for
an actor. while Butterflies, who won

Naming race horses is no easy task.
Some owners spend much time and
thought in selecting appropriate
names, while others are willing to take
any word or phrase that comes to
mind
