as Andrew at his stable, and although
the horse probably will never race again
he pays as much attention to him as he
does to Knobbie and .PIayfellow, his two
roted Juveniles. He has him in the stall
adjoining Vibrate and seems to take
special interest in father and daughter
Vibrate is not a sound horse. She is
re all over and when she comes out of
the stable In the morning she is scarcely
able TO walk. In her exercise gallops
refore a race she is the same way but
when sent to race she forgets her pain
ana races like a champion. She is an
exceptionally fast filly and as courageous
as pebble. While warming up and

as result Mr.. Wilson's colt was heavily
backed and went to the post at to 2.
while Vibrate receded in the betting
until to was obtainable against her.
When 1t came to racing Vibrate ran
like to 20 shot. Joe Mooney was in
her saddle He got her away from the
barrier winging and sent her along at
terrific pace three lengths ahead of her
opponents for quarter of a mile. Then

spell and reserve some of her speed fol
the final run. AS he eased her Sea Cove

alongside and the pair raced head and

Moon sped along three lengths back.
When Strengthened out for home
Mooney gave the fiily her head and she
dashed away from Sea Cove and when
passing the final furlong pole was four
lengths in front. At this point Dry
Moon challenged He displayed a good
burst of speed and gained a length and
half. but Vibrate had plenty of speed
in reserve and continued on her yictori-
Gus journey until she won by two
lengths. Sea Cove quit to n walk in the

for place honors by ten lengths. Vibrate
