A Turf Tragedy Recalled.
.Om the Dundee Advertiser

The death of St. Simon, perhaps the
greatest race horse of his generation. re-
calls an almost forgotten tragedy of the
turf. Half an hour before the race for
the Two Thousand Guineas of 1883 Prince
Batthyany, who bred st. Simon, and who
was one of the most popular racing men
of any time. was talking with Lord Cado-
gan in the luncheon room of the Jockey
Club stand at Newmarket. when he sud-
denly reeled and fell to the floor. He was
carried to Weatherby's Office and doctors
were summoned; but the prince was be-
yond all human aid, and just before the
bell rang for the race, for which his colt

favogite. he breathed his last A few

death of his owner that Galopin's great

which he would almost certainly have
won.

To supply this want realty men through
