Collecting Horse Hair a Fad.

There was g somewhat unpleasant
incident at the Yarmo.n race meet
ing caused By o curious hobby which
is growing increasingly popular among
lovers OF race horses. y horse sud
denly Iashed out with its heels, and
a man who was behind It narrowly
escaped injury.
The trainer spoke to the man
angrily and when asked TO explain
the incident the trainer said that the
mar had been trying to auil haiys
from the horses tail. lie added that
many people made collections Of the
hairs from famous horses. Ordinarily
they wrote to the owner or trainer for
them. but there were a certain Num-
her of men who cried to make money
by plucking them from the horses at
different meetings.
1t appears that there are many such
collections, and one of them recently
changed hands for $780, Such d price
is above the average, but this colIec-
ton contained sixty hairs, three from
each Of the tails Of twenty winners
of classic races, among them being
Galopin, Ormandie, Flying Fox, Scep-
ter, Ard Patrick, Rock Sand, Pretty
Polly and Spearmint, the genuineness
being vouched for by letters from tie
various owners and trainers.-London
