Man O War Will Be
 Cared for With All
 Luxuries of q King

Lexington, Ky, February 2-Every
 luxury lavished on royalty is to be the
 portion of Man O War, world champion thoroughbred, at Hinata farm, near here, where he has just been retired to the stud.
 A private groom, private feed tubs, a private pasture, where he is allowed to that are being provided by his owner. Samuel D. Riddle of Philadelphia, and Miss Elizabeth Daingerfield, noted wom- an breeder of thoroughbreds, under whose care he has been placed.
 [ Animals such as Man O War are not
 allowed to do the many things their ple- bian brothers and sisters do that might expose them to danger. When the fla
 nous racer left the farm at Berlin, Md, where he was stabled after his return from his triumph over Sir Barton at Windsor, he was placed in padded au- tomobile van and hauled to the express ear. On his arrival in Lexington he was ui.loaded into another van and taken 10 the Kentucky Jockey club race track for exhibition to admiring thousands of Ken tucsians.
 When he was taken from the track to Hinata farm, a distance of six miles, he was aSdln pldCeu III ct Wi du anu AthHASc over the smooth highway to the farm. . There he was unloaded and placed in a stall specially prepared for him, with the companion of all his travels, Major Treat, the old steeplechase racer, on one side and Golden Broom, Mrs. Walter M. Jef- ford's four-year-old stallion on the other. For Man O War loves equine company and he is to be kept satisfied by having his chum with him as we'll as another high-bred animal.
 1 Although Miss Daingerfield whose rep utation as a breeder of race horses is second to none, has said that "a horse l is horse and Man O War will just l have a stable,r she told the representa- ttive of the Associated Press that she had | remodeled barn on the farm for him. I The, box stalls prepared for Man O War and Golden Broom are large and roomy' giving them plenty of room in wnicn to i turn and lie down at will.
 l Feed tubs for Man O War have been l srecially built by Lexington tinsmith'
 special presentations being taken to see i that the famous racer cannot in1ure himself The stalls in the barn are much | ike those in the barn of any thorough Ibred breeding farm, but through ana about the barns at all hours of the night l a watchman makes his way to- see that Tho harm befalls any of the racers. In the house nearby Will i've Tram Loftus the man who always has cared
 for Man O War since his baby days on 1 August Belmonts nursery stud, SIX miles from Lexington on the Georgetown ! pike, and where his dam, Mahubah, and I his sire, Fair Play, still are stabbed. Lof- l tus will stay with the famous horse, car ing for him day by day and on call al
 any time that his services may pc needed.
 ] Man O War is well-behayed anima and no extra precautions have ceer taken in his stall to prevent his inJurins himself" said Miss Daingerfield we have made no very unusual preparations 1 for him. I have had a stable remodeleo with three stalls, one for Man O War, one for Golden Broom, Mrs. Jefford stallion, and smaller one for MaJoi Treat, Man O Wars companion. l have prepared small house nearby for Frank Loftus. his groom, to live in. The regu- lar night watchman of the farm WILL pc on duty during the hours when 1ne 1 grooms and caretakers are not present The books for Man O War and Golden Broom have not been prepared and dc I not know to what mares he will be pred.
 but the plan is to breed him to aoout io ! <htS eca son 's
