BY HENRY T. WHITE.

With Myron K. McHenry at the
helm. chances are the Farley stable
will cut a big figure In this years

Farley likes the sport, often driving
his own horses in races. and II goes

stable II McHenry runs across any
thing with class enough to win al the
big meetings.
AS reinsman pure and simple. Nc
Henry has stood at the head of his
profession for years. and for this rea-
son there has been in some quarters
an impression that he is not equally
capable as trainer, which Is far
from the truth. Sonoma Girl and
Dan Patch are two shining. eamples
OF his skill In that direction. The big

he had raced a season and taken a

the trouble and remedied II by radical
work on Dams hind feet the follow

When McHenry took Sonoma Girl

she trotted In 2:o5 IA against Wilkes

From the day he came out as a
