but has not rendered his bid up to date. |
A few weeks delay in coming to de- |
,ision about time and place will injure |
40 one.
Good reports continue to come in re-
yarding the speed and manners shown |
oy the Peter the Great two-year-old in
Ianson's hands. owned by Javins Bros. \
md E. F. Hall, Of this city. As matters
low stand. it looks that IL he can beat /
Hal Hardin. a year his senior, the big
md Of the stake will be his. However,
10 race is won until it is raced of. |
stakes are won on representations. The
FOOD colt of today may be an inferior
me next week or next month. The most
,heering thing about these infantiIe f
takes is that not single colt owner
las yet quit because of cold feet
