and his illustrious rival, Minor Heir, and
many other famous horses are 10 training
Dan Patch is not the only horse to
have a mascot. Minor Heir. next in
rank to Dan on the Savage farm, is ac-
corded that privilege. He has chosen
as his favorite a remarkably we'll
bred and good looking Boston terrier
This favored female is very jealous OF
the atter tions of MiGor Heir and is con
tinually on guard to make it unpleasant
for strangers who veLture too rear her
fAyorite's quarters.
Minor Heir accepts the blandish-
ments OF the Boston terrier with pleas
ant unconcern but is always careful not
to move when it might prove dangerous
for the Heiress, as this little mascot is
called.
Both of these pets will be the travel
ing comparions of the two world famous
horses during the coming summer and
fall They will visit and be part of the
reception committee when Dan Patch
aud Minor Heir visit Detroit. / is tc
be hoped that the Yorkshire and Boston
terriers do not allow themselves to be
drawn into any pitched battles over the
merits of their respective atfintes wher
these two get to fighting it out for the
championship of the harness horse world
