Robin Grattan 3619S

ROBIN GRATTAN il handsome bay
stallion. with dark points, stands l6 hands
and weighs los pounds: foaled 1902
Bred by Mcneil Bros, Bowen, III.
During the past history of the light
harness turf. different families have, in
different years, says the Horse Review.
made some remarkable showings it
remained for the Grattan family. in 1905.
to eclipse everything of that nature in turf
annals 1t was ''Grattan year" from
start to finish-and when the returns were
all in there was just one universal verdict:
that nothing like it had ever been heard of
before.
Had Grattan's fame as q sire to rest
upon 1905 alone, it would secure him place
among the greatest of progentors. But it
is of no such sudden, spasmodic growth.
1t was established years ago. and has ever
since been steadily growing. like the snow
ball of the adage growing, growing,
growing. until now it has assumed such
proportions as to dwarf that of all but a
scattering two or three other living STALL
ions.
Robin Grattan individually is horse
of grand finish and plenty of substance,
with fine disposition. deep, strong Shout
ders, stout back, very strong loins and sti-
files, strong bone, with good feet and legs.

Lexington, KY, Sept. 12.-Friends
In this city of Gov. J. C. S. Black
Turn, of the Panama Canal Zone,
have received word that he, accom-
panied by his wife and grand-daugh.
ter, Miss Lucille Lane, will sail from
Panama on September 30 for New
York. He will proceed at once to
washington to confer with Presi-
dent Taft, to whom he has rendered
his resignation, and will then come
t" Kentucky. 1t is believed here that
Gov. Blackburn positively expects his
resignation to be accepted, and that
when he arrives in Kentucky he ex-
poets to make his residence here for
The remainder of his life. 1t has long
been the ardent wish of Gov. Black
burn to retire from public life, and
make his home on the little farm,
hear Spring Station, in Woodford
county, where his father lived, and
he and all of his brothers and sis
tiers were born and reared.

Without sleep the nervous

and the healthful activity of all
the organs obstructed. Restful,
bodybuilding sleep accompanies
the use Of DR.. Miles Nervine
because it soothes the irritable
nerves, and restores nervous
energy. When taken few days

natural and healthful. Get a

it all according to directions, and
if it does not benefit he will re-
