A UNIQUE FEATURE FOR HORSE
FANCIERSsWITH THE GENTRY

That great proportion of the general

regard as the most intelligent of the
lower animals, will be especially in

moving picture reproduction of Dan

During the past five years Dan

records ana appears in a fair way to

in the lime light so far as horse fam

There are thousands of these who
would travel hundreds of miles if time
and conditions permitted just to see
this famous horse go a mile against
time-for Dan doesn't race any more
since it was discovered that there was
no horse for him to go against-and
these thousands of horse fanciers as
we'll as the other thousands who love
fine horse for the horses sake
alone will feel indebted to the Gen
g
tunity of seeing Dan do his record
mile, although that mile is done on
canvas screen.
From time to time since Dan
Patch leaped into general notice in his
earlier record breaking days, picture

photographers of every class and
shoWmen of all degree. made overtures
to NJ. w. Savage of the international

first and only moving picture film
made with Dan on the track was Sc

the other innovations being the pres
