year 1906, naturally the man WIG has
won most money comes first. Thsa is
James II. Keene, whose colors havss en
before the racing public for moro I'm
twenty-five years. He is the only <gNeri-
can who has won the French Grand
Prix, and that, too, with an American
horse Foxhall He IS tine only American
who has won the EPSON Oaks with a
filly bred in America. This was Cap and
Bells I. who ran away from her oppon-
cnts.
Mr. Keene would have won the Derby
and st. Leger of 1881 with FoXhall If
that son of King Alfonso had been en-
tered, but the colt did far more diff
cult thing--he won both the Cesare-
witch and Cambrdgeshire Handicap, TAX
Ing up n penalty In the last-named which
made him carry 12G pounds, which was
never done before or since, if memory
serves.

This is the sort OF turfman, man
loyal to the sport through good fortune
and bad. Americans delight 70 see VIM
ner He is the most succesSrTl breeder
| and turfman of the age, and long may his
| colors dominate is the fervent aspira-
ton of hundreds who know what a gen.
erous heart beats beneath a somewhat
austere exterior.

four races and $l555i9. They We're train
ed by James Rove, once a good Jockey
himself, then a trainer for the Dwyers,
| and after that a steward in California
| and an excellent starter in the east. Man
! and boy Rowe was well and favorahiy
| known to the turf world for the last
thirty years. You will find his chubby
| face in famous picture published years
ago by the once we'll known firm OF
! Currier & Ives in which Rowe is seen
| riding Harry Bassett against Longfel-
low,
Schneider Has Won Most Races
| There Is a turfman who won more
races than any other, but only about
half the amount of money that Mr.
Keene's horses have won. This is
/ Barney Schneider, OF Missouri. who
realized in 1905 what great differ.
! ence 1t made to his bank account
whether horses of the class of DR.
Gardner and Nealon We're racing foi
$500 purses in California or $4,000
stakes in the East He sold the two
colts mentioned for about $1,000 solo
Horace L. for about 100000. and before
