CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
 ON THf RACE TRACK
st"ry of Hazel Fetch. One of the S'a,s
 in the Bisbee Stakes.

Hazel Patch, POP IA, and zoIock, 2:O5, are entered in the Bisbee stake for free for all pacers. In this race are eight other of the fastest race horses in the United States, six of them having records better than 2:O8. This is likely to be the most hotlv contested and sensational race ever in America. The racing reporter of the Los Angeles Examiner relates this curious fact about Hazel Patch:
 Hazel Patch (2:O2 1-D, the sensa- tion of the grand circuit of the season just past and considered the best pac- CT in the country, barring Dan Patch. has never had a rub-cloth on him. does not know the feeling of not wa ter, has yet to experience the applica- tion of liniment, and has travelled thousands of miles without a brace or bandage upon his legs. This is all contrary to every principle of training race horses, but J. w. Flack, the vet eran Wisconsin driver, insists that liniments, rub-downs and bandages are all useless, and instead between each heat and during long trips he gives the great pacer Christian Science treatments.
 Sclence race horse in the world" said Owner Flack, "and at the same time the best pacer racing. There is not a classier horse on the track and I have an open challenge to race any pacer with the distance sixteen feet for S10,00O. My horse can race all day and never tire. and this I attribute absolutely to the Christian Science treatments. I never think of giving him a rub, applying liniments to his legs, nor do I brace his legs on long journeys"
 And considering this Hazel Patch Is certainly a marvellous animal His performance after reaching San Ser nardino was the talk of the California horsemen. Tuesday, October 31, he was loaded on a box car in Chicago, i and started across the country, with out a single bandage to protect his legs. For seven days the car was bat tered about as it crept across the des- ert, arriving at San Bernardino We'd nesday morning. He was unloaded and two hours later worked a fast mile. Thursday he was worked three good miles and Friday had three miles before the first heat of the Zolock race which was stepped in 2:OS on a heavy track. Saturday before winning two heats from Zolock, Patch was worked two miles.
 "No horse could do this," says Flack, without nelp that the average horse does not receive. But the San Ber- nardino performance was not the only one of the kind. Last year he was shipped seven hundred miles in a box car, the trip requiring three and one half days, was unloaded and lowered the Minnesota state record for a mile on half mile track to 2:09 IA; won the free for all at the Minnesota fair and beat a field of seven, the average time of which was 2:05 3-4, at the Illi- nois fair, all in the course of seven days. Did you ever hear of a horse winning so many races in such a short time after being shipped so far? I consider the treatments I give him re- sponsible. This horse has been racing since July and every race has been better than the last. Rather unusual for. pacer to be on edge for the en- tire season, growing better with each racel"
 Hazel Patch began racing in 1908, was in thirteen races, winning nine,
