Lamb,s Tenure OF lie Not Iona.

A party of privileged sightseers
were admitted to private view of a
menagerie between performances
and among other things were shown
what was called Happy Family"
that is to say, in one and the same
cage there was a toothless lion, a
tiger, somewhat the worse for wear,
and a half-famished wolf Beside
these wild animals, curled up in one
corner, was a diminutiye lamb which
shivered as 1t slumbered.
How long have the animals lived
together?" asked one OF the party.
About twelve months" replied the
Snowman.

that"
"Oh." said the Snowman. quite un-

coffee).

II the pertinent question should be ask
ed, Why call the stakes The Washing.
Herald Two-year r-old Trotting Stakes. tbs
answer Is that no Washington paper
thus far. has done as much to promote
these stakes as The Herald The reason
why Mr.. d. J. McCarthy's place Of busi-
ness has been selected. at which tht
owners Of candidates shall meet for ini-
tial action. is because the scheme Of a
two-year-old stake race originated witt
him, and he has ever since been a prime
factor In the matter. The same condf-
tions printed to-day may be applied to
foals born In 1917, and who will be ell
gible for the stakes of 1914 The owners
of 1872 foals are especially enthusiastic
over the proposition. and 1t now looks
as IL there would be an even dozen OF
1872 foal owners who will be entrants
1t cannot be stated now the number OF
1911 foals that VIII be entered Decem-
ber .. 1917 It should be borne In mind
that all foals Of racehorse blood date In
the matter of ago from January I. 90
that every foal born In 1911 Is. according
to turf law, two years Of age January L
1919 All foals born in 1872 will be two
years old January l, 1914 In the neal
future We shall publish q list Of owners
Of foals born In 1911 and in 1872 who have
already expressed q desire to enter in
stake races. The value Of stake races &c
owners Of highly.bred trotting foals need
no elaborate argument. The fact that
they arc entered In stakes increases theiI
value Immediately. and the most inter.
esting feature Of the subject Is that nc
colt owner can say which youngster will
win until the race Is finished. 1t should
have been added in the conditions that
the stake will be divided into foul
parts. the colt finishing fourth getting
10 per cent Of the purse.
