ago that Broomstiek set a new world s
record for the mile and quarter dis

Broomstick on that occasion. and the
race was one that will live long in the
memory of the followers of the sport.
When the horses came back to the judges
stand il was discovered that Irish Lad
had broken down in the running, but had
put up one of the gamest finishes ever

sensus of opinion is that the race lies
between these two, Flip Flap and Dan
delion. Hamburg Belle, the premier miller
of the American turf, is asked to go
trifle further than she is supposed to care
with great interest.
Rams Horn, the famous western per-
former. who seems only recently TO have
come back to form, Dolly Spanker, a
consistent winner at a mile and there
abouts; Cairngorm, stable mate of Ham
