If this is l true and real free-for- -aller is l bought by a Stafford man and stabled here Stafford Springs will be an oft l mentioned place in racing annuals to come. It has already gained distinc- tion in this line through the worthy | Forrest B., who won 13 races this l year. Peter Hopeful and Frank Watts l seem destined to add to it's distinction.
