FORTY HORSES IN TEST
Six TbOrOughbredsi in the List. Four of
Them Coming From Kentucky

Six thoroughbreds have been entered
for the endurance test which Will start
from Fort Ethan Allen on Monday, Octo-
Der H. and finish at Camp Devens, Mass.
the following Friday night. Four of these
have been entered by the Thoroughbred
Test club of Kentucky. This organization
is composed of admirers of the thorough
bred horse who got together in a deter
mnation to see that the thoroughbred
was flttingy represented in the great
contest this year Last year only one was
entered but he failed to start, and there
was talk at that time that the thorough
bred men did not care to accept the issue
in such a severe test. The Kentucky
organization, however, gives assurance
that four horses will go to the line fully
prepared to go. through with the long
grind. Two other thoroughbreds have
been entered by individuals.
The Thoroughbred club has named Mos
cowa, a bay gelding; Majella. a chestnut
mare: UTwenty-Three, a chestnut geld
Ing. and David Craig, chestnut gelding.
These horses and one other were shipped
from Kentucky to Vermont several weeks
ago and have been in training ever since
over the stiff roads of the Green Noun
tain State.
Edward r. Bradley has entered his
brown thoroughbred stallion. Helmet,
while Joseph II. Choate, son of the ia
nous lawyer. has named his chestnut
gelding Sunfisher. Every one of these Is
a recognized thoroughbred. Moscowa Is
n grandson Of the great English sire,
Persimmon, which won the Derby in
1896. Moscowas paternal granddam was
Isonomy and these two were among the
most famous horses on the English turf.
! His maternal granddam was Folus, than
whom there was no better IN this coun-
! try in her day. Isonomy and Folus were
great stayers, and Moscowa is expected
to prove one of the really great horses
| in the test. Majella is a daughter of i'm
ported Carlton Grange. Helmet Is son
of Disguise and st. Mildred, the latter
the imported daughter of ST. Simon, a
Derby winner. UTwcnty-Three Is by
| Ivan The Terrible, out of Colloquy, and
comes of noble lineage. David Craig is
by Peep o'Day, out Of Avon, Ind. The
Choate entry is by Woodson, out of Lady
Betz, the latter being the daughter OF the
great Hanover.
Tho trotters will be represented by two
| entries, made by John f.. Madden, while
O. b. Brown has entered an American
saddle horse. Among the entries thus far
tabulated are three grade thoroughbreds
three registered Morgans and nine regis
tered Arabs. 1t will be number of days

thought it might have something to

BOYS FIND WHISKEY
Ten Hotties Of "Old Crow Located in
Very Heart Of City

A discovery which may lead to impor-
tant developments was made about Sat
urday noon when three small boys dis
covered ten quarts Of bonded whiskey in
the rear Of the buildings located on Main
street between Church and st. Paul
streets. The whiskey was bottled by the
W. A. Gaines company and bore the gov
eminent stamp. which testified to the
fact that the whiskey was made in 1914
and bottled in 1920 The labels declared
that the whiskey was made only for
medicinal purposes and it is evident that
either the whiskey or the government
no whskey is supposed to be handled now
except that which is closely followed by
government employees
The boys who found the goods are Ed
ward Mckenzie of Center street, Roy
Livermore of King street and Kenneth
Roy of Church street. They were playing
near King street when they found in the
yard a sack which bore signs of having
been out in the weather for some time.
They looked into the matter with the re-
suit that they found ten quarts Of whis-
key which had been there so long that
they it was hard to read some Of the la
bells. They broke open one bottle to see
what was in II and as soon as they

matter to the police. Men were sent from
station one to secure the goods and the
police now have the bottles in their Gus
tody.
Various theories of how the whiskey
rame to be concealed in the bushes have
been advanced. the most commonly &C
cepted one being that the whiskey was
left by some one who feared to take Il
out after he had concealed it there. 1t ha:
been rumored that large amount o.
bonded whiskey has been for sale in Can
ada for some time. The fact that thi
was labelled 1920" a year during which
NO whiskey is supposed to be shipped
without permit. shows an irregularit,
somewhere.
The whiskey was of the "Old Crow
brand which was well known in the Uni
ted States few years ago. The bottles
had evidently been enclosed in cartons
which were nearly destroyed by the rain
last week. The police have made no dis
position OF the whiskey, but it Is expected
that it will eventually be destroyed, o.
order OF some court. as has been Gus
tOmary in the past.

He received severe bruises on one arm

Morris was hit by the second wheels of
