a cheap skate of horse on the
strength of speed alone. There would
be nothing doing.
He wants them big, he wants
them we'll bred and he wants them
good looking. In this new purchase
he ought to be pretty we'll satisfied.
There is absolutely no chance to
pick flaws in his breeding. Sired by
Peter the Great, dam by Gambetta
Wilkes Enough said along that line,
for you all know what the rest of it
is. A union of two great families,
Happy Medium and George Wilkes.
Any man who would find fault with
that line of breeding would squeal
if somebody were to die and leave
him a hundred thousand dollars.
Peter Alexander is four years old.

have no idea what Mr.. Dawsop's
plans may be for 1915. The natural
supposition is that the young horse
will be offered for public service for
limited season next spring and
then be made ready for the races.
Good campaigners will not be as
numerous as the leaves on the trees
next season, and a sound young
trotter of Peters speed caliber, and
with a record so far back towards
the woods that he is eligible to the
slow classes, is altogether too good
thing to waste on the desert air.
So, when the starters bell jingles
next season in the Iowa circuits, you
can doubtless look for Dawson and
his Peter the Great trotter.

w. A. Dawson's New Purchase.

w. A. Dawson of this city was in
Chicago at the big sale of blooded
horses a week or SO ago and bought
one of the finest animals offered.
That he made good purchase is in
dicated by the following, from the
pen of that we'll known writer,
Ivanhoe Whitfield, in the Spirit of
the West:
In looking over the report of the
recent Chicago sale l note that w.
A. Dawson, Webster City, Iowa, was
among those present" Also that
he improved the opportunity to add
to his holdings in the Standardized
line by purchasing the young stall
lion, Peter Alexander 53S93.
When it comes to horses Mr.. Daw-
son has a very discriminative eye.
He loves to ride fast, all right
enough, and l have seen him push
on the lines as hard as any Of the
boys; but you can safely wager your
last nickel that he will never be car
ried off his feet by the speed craze
alone.
No. They must be able to show
more than mere speed ability to
make hit with him. In some re-
spects he is what the world calls a
oroply Which uoopc ha ia in aorn-
est. Have you ever noticed that
when a man really gets down to
business and talks straight from the
shoulder, instead of through his
millinery, that people say he is a
crank? Always. And respect him
immensely for it, too. The world al
ways esteems the man who is in
earnest, at least that part of the
world whose opinion is worth hav-
ing.
This man Dawson is a crank on
individuality, which includes size,
style, quality-you know what l
mean. Given all these desirable
qualities he doesn't care two boots
in Mexico how fast the animal can
trot, the faster the better. But you
might as we'll try to hire Billy Sun
day to keep books for bootlegger-
and a fat chance you would have
there-as to attempt to sell Dawson
