which greatly assisted in placing Hill
dreth In first position.
It's q strange freak Of turf lore
that his peerless colt was In position
whereby he could have changed the
winning list about SO that either Of
three owners could have ended the sea
son at the head Of the column. Novelty
was bred by James r. kecne ut Cas-
Teton Stud, sold as yearlinG to John

early parl of las. year by Madden to
ffildreth.
Now here is hcw the little word "if''
cuts so prominent figure: If Keene
had retained Novelty his winnings
would have amounted to $4,000, In
stead OF s6l,390. and naturally Hil-
dreth would have only won S80O1b.
This would have put the veteran turf
man: first without any contention. II
Madden had kept Novelty in trio barn
he would have topped tho list with
