know 1t, and do not expect miracles
Further they have rather foolish idea

and experience increase q Jockeys value
as a rider and the weights enable Ameri-
can boys to ride, who have to pass down

terrible list of weight off" every racing
day. Lyme has probably ridden his last
race, he finds it dangerous to reduce to
our rigorous limit, and his record of
stakes at $4,000 and over. for 1905. stands

This gave j. Jones s3S,235. and placed

ride for Mr. August Belmont in England

there was never the slightest foundation.

Not content with having spasmodically
achieved two rich stakes in the East,
little Garner now appears intent on max
ing Rome howl in the Far West. EOS
sibly the effervescent dictum OF John
A. Drake to the effect that Garner was
the coming" jockey has set his brain
to whiriing, and he has not yet heard
what Drake said later. when Garner sue
ceeded in being practically left on every
Drake horse after the closing of the
curiously and scientifically managed New
England Breeders Club.
1t is to be hoped that the megaloepha-
lie spoke-sh will be effectually APP
piled TO the occiput OF Garner before April
18th, and that we may have returned 70
us, undIluted and unadulterated, albeit a
trfe SCARED, the fair raw material for
making a halfway decent rider. In 1906
