has thus far sired nothing OF note in
the way OF phenomenal early speed.
Nevertheless, he has for two seasons
past hcadeA the $50 speed list. On the
other hand. his stable companion, Moko.
heads the list Of money winners of 1913.
The value of sire Is based upon the
earning capacity Of his sons and daugh-
ters-
The Mokos, like the Peter the Greats.
ana the Bingens. have the racing and
the money winning habit, and because
Of this. their descendant command top
figures in the auctions. Moko has sue
ceedcd his sire. Baron Wilkes. as sire
OF futurity winners. On the other
hand, Peter the Great inherited no such
title of nobility. He mas ennobled him
self by what he has been able TO per-
form. as did the First Napoleon. who.
dated his nobility from the day he had
all Of Itaiy at his feet begging for peace.
Only three short years ago. Mckinney
headed the list OF 30 sires- He has
been dethroned by ihe son of Pilot
Medium and Santos. and 1t is not i'm
probable that he will hold the crown
for years to come. San Francisco. like
Walnut Hall. Is stable companion of
Moko. His get impress all who have
seer them. and as IL is the policy of
Walnut Hall Farm to scatter its young
sters broadcast over the land, We shall
soon know whether the San Franchises
are as good as they seem.
Two weeks only remain for owners Of
eSigibles I'm the two and three-year-oli
District Of Columbia, Maryland and Viz
ginia trottinE stakes to get in line The
stakes close March /. The larger the list
OF entries the greater the value OF the
stake. Business is none TOO sood. nor
money none too plenty. nevertheless We
apprehend that S per month will not
stop many colt owners from INDUCING In
q little sport. II will soon be time to
take up the youngsters that have been
turned out for the winter and give them
haTness exercise. II would he an excel
ID Mt thing IL the government could be in
cuced to turn over temporarily piece
OF soft footing In Potomac Park on which
horses could be safely exercised. Pri-
niarily. the park is Intended for n
breathing place and playground for the
citizens Of Washington. Motor cars have
made the footing of the roadways of the
PARK unsafe for horses, and unpleasant
for tirnid horse owners. Equestrians are
slready provided for. The devotees OF
tho exciting game OF polo have also been
cared for. and il is understood that golf
links will soon be established in the park.
