DANNY MAKERS SUCCESS.
Has Won the English Derby Three
Times,

Danny Maher, the American jockey Is
lust now the sensation of the turf in Eng
land. His victories in the Derby and Oaks
q few weeks ago, at the famous EPSON
Downs course. is something that any rider
might nell feel proud of; but Maher re-
mains the same modest lad and has never
forgotten his old-tlme friends and acquant-
ances in this country. Maher is the son
of Hartford Comm saloon keeper ana
twenty-six years of age. He has been rid
ing about ter years. and spent about hair
that number of years abroad. He has woa
the English Derby three times, and also
came in first in the Grand Prix of Paris,
one of the richest events on the French
turf.
One of Makers boyhood friends is Jockey
Frank Duffy of Cincinnati. Duffy has
known Maher since the first day he ever
stepped foot on racetrack. and was very
chummy with the little Yankee during his
early days on the turf.
"A most perfect gentleman is Danny Ma
her." remarked Duffy recently. He start
ed IN life a poor boy, but is now worth
about 100000. He helped his mother along
when quite young and always saved the
greater part of his earnings. His first nota-
BILE victory, as I recall, was on Arthur
Whites Geisha. at Saratoga in 1897 when
he beat Willie Simms on Mike DwyeI 9

Danny told me the happiest day or his

brought home Briar Sweet, Scotch PAID

success by winning the Brooklyn Handicap
on Banastar. He also rode the same morse
In the Suburban and was left at the post.
Ranastar was acting so badly that Maher
hit him over the head, and was set down
for one year. Banastar was the neanest

could hardly be blamed for doing what ne

"At one time Maher aspired to be an

with a suddenness almost startling
manufacture has taken Southern labor

the Southern Form Magazine, men have

The progress that has been made was

will not be reached until the idea Of picking
