GREAT DAN PATCH IS
PERMANENTLY RETIRED
viii Never Again Be Asked to
Attempt to Lower Worlds
Records.

NEW YORK. July 2.-Dan Patch has
been permanently retired from the racing
and speed exhibition stage NJ. w. Saw
age, his owner. is authority for the state
ment that Dan Patch will never again be
asked to start in attempts to lower
worlds records. He says the great. horse
has done his share of work and that his
life from this time on will be spent in
enjoying we'll earned rest, in watching
other harness horses struggle to lower
his records.
While the champion will not be called
upon to make any of the efforts that have
made him famous. he will still do some
travelling, and during the coming sum-
mer and fall will be an attraction at a
large number Of fairs all over the United
States. He will be exhibited in special
stalls where people can get close look
at him. He will still be under the care
OF Charlie Plummer. who has hardly
left the horse a day for seven years, and
his care and equipment will be such as
BELTS the monarch of the harness world.
During the coming season Dan will still
be the toDliner of the Savage combina-
ton of PAGERS. and whenever Minor Heir.
George Gano, Hedgewood Boy and Lady
Maud G. race and try for new records
Dan will be on hand.
For ten years Dan Patch has been
without peer in the harness horse
world In manners. in disposition, In
courage, in gameness and speed he has
stood alone.
The performances Of other horses have
been judged by the standard Of this
worlds champion. He has repeatedly per-
formed what experts once pronounced
impossible feats He has paced seventy
three miles under 200. He has lowered
the worlds record fourteen times and he
now holds seven worlds records.
Dams last fast miles were at Phoenix,
Ariz., last fall, where he paced two miles
in 2.03A and 2.G2k without much prepara-
ton. Early in the season Dan slightly in
jured one leg on a half-mile track. and
this bothered him some last fall, SO that
Hersey did not key him mp to extreme
miles. These two miles at Phoenix were
email on account of Dams having no prac-
teal preparation, and many considered
them the greatest of his performances.
Last winter, on the International Farm,
Dan rested in his stall more than ever
before in his life. He is today in grand
physical condition. He is jogging sound
ly and many who know the horse are
willing to venture the prediction that he
would train this season and go more fast
could do this. He has watched Dan
Patch defy all Of the laws that ordinarily
govern horses, and he has unlimited faith
in him.
Notwithstanding this fact the horse will
not be asked to try. Mr.. Savage thinks
too much of him to take any chances OF
breaking him down. He will be kept in
good health to enjoy the many years that
are left for him.
Dan Patchs life story is an inspiration
to breeders. He has been consistently
great.

INTERNATIONAL POLO
CUP CHALLENGERS
Old Etonians Coming Over to
Try and Regain Coveted
Trophy.

| NEW YORK. July 1.-The decision OF
the Old Etonians to challenge for the
International polo cup has given great
satisfaction both in this country and in
| England. The recent death of King Ed
ward and the failure to secure a suffi-
cient sum by public subscription to send
representative English team over led
| to the belief that international polo COM
petition would be postponed for at least
one year. The stand taken by the new
| ing on the situation. His request that
| his fathers death should in no way inter-
fere with scheduled sporting events has
received the most liberal Interpretation.
and as result Britishers are not ma
terially curtailing their recreation and
amusement. The challenge, which was
forwarded by the Huntington Club of
London. found ready acceptance by the
American Polo Association. and the game
will be played at the Meadow Brook
Club. Westbury. l.. l., the last week In
August.
The challenge was all the more unex-
pected in view of the report carried to
England by the representatives of the
two British teams who were over here
during the spring, which was to the eff
feet that the American players were SO
splendidly mounted that the invaders
would have very little chance Of regain
ing the trophy. While not thoroughly
representative team, the Old Etonians
comprise a formidable aggregation. Ac-
cording to the British polo experts the
composition of the team is very satisfac-
tory, and has the additional merit or be-
ing in excellent working order. The team
will consist of the Earl Of Rocksavage
Lord Wodehouse and the twin brothers,
F. o. and r. N. Grenfell. The American
will be Harry Payne Whitney. captain;
Larry" Waterbury, Monty Waterbury
and Devereux Millburn. The four are
members of the Meadow Brook Club and
succeeded in bringing the trophy to TINS
country last year.
Two games will be scheduled with an
open date for a third contest in the event
of tie. The latter contingency is, now
ever. somewhat remote. unless the VISIT
ors should develop more strength than is
anticipated, although they are by no
means inferior players. 1t is expected
that the birmingham Club will detach
$1,000 from its treasury to the aid or the
Old Etonians. for the purpose OF the
purchase of suitable ponies and defray1ng
the expenses of the trip. The Old Eton-
ians will probably. receive financial as
sistance from other quarters. which Will

The Duke of Roxburghe. who will come

two other teams will be here this fall.
F. A. Gill has arranged to bring over a

will take part in any of the tournaments
that may be open to them.
