those used for road purposes, are now IN
winter quarters.
II has been decided by the Drivers and
Riders Association to hold no more
matinees until the coming spring. About
the middle of February the greater share
OF them will be taken up again, probably
clipped ard hardened up through the
Jogging process
1t may be taken for granted that the
mistakes of last winer and spring will
not be repeated, when horses intended for
speed contests were given fast quarters
and miles in January. repeated in Febru-

AS for Miss Hobson. no one but her
owners know what her future Is TO be or
what is her exact physical condition.
She was thrown out Of action last season
because Of an aIling leg or two. If she
can be made TO race sound, IL is believed
that miles better than 2:l0 would not
bother her much. No one at this stage
knows what Z. F. Hall will DO with
Manueila in 1911 Perhaps he does not
know himself what disposition he will
make Of her. She is by FAR the speediest

There Is a green mare in town called
Miss Kushan, owned by J. A. Jones, that
has been showing great turn OF speed
at the trot. She seems to be level-head-

Kushan. and on her dams side belongs
to the great family founded by Pancoast,
whose descendants are doing more TO
