is the owner Of the greyhound. This ami
NAL is probably as well bred dog Of its
kind as there is in the United States, since
was secured in London, England, by Olin
Finney, owner Of the Cold Spring Farm
kennels Of Bethayres, Pa The exceed
ingly large offer of S400 came from a
Plattsburg, N. Y, man yesterday, he
having noticed the animal as it lithely
leaped after the automobile in which
rode the owner and trainer Prof. Landi
has for several days given the thorough
bred an opportunity TO reveal the char
acteristics of his species, one of which
is fast and long-distance running. This
eight -months -old pup managed to keep
close to its owners car as the speedom-
ter registered 40, and with an amazing
leap bounded into the rear part of the
car. A running mate has been secured
by popular restaurant proprietor. Both
these animals are registered in the u. S.
