BY HENRY ". KING.

All thoroughbreds are more or less
courageous, but seldom did one show
as much pluck as did Richard T. Will
sons -year-old colt Forest Lore
yesterday afternoon at the Empire
City track. With an artery in his
right foreleg cut SO badly that blood
gushed forth In a heavy stream he
in the Rainbow Stakes. He didn't win
the stake. but that was not due to his
injury. He met with other bad luck
and finished third. behind Robert L..
Gerry's Ruddy and John Shaugh-
nessy's Fulton. He wasn't beaten off
either. for at the judges he was only
length in back of Ruddy and on
almost even terms with Fulton. A
majority of the racegoers believed he
finished second.
The injury came while at the post.
Fulton, son of Friar Rock. was frac-
tious and mischievous while awaiting
the start and lashed out with his hind
legs and struck Forest Lore a powerful
blow. He made the Wilson colt vince
FOR an instant and tempted him to re-
fuse to run. When the barrier went up
he wasn't on his toes as he had been
before he was kicked, but when Shook
uns Bell clucked to him he broke quick
ly and chased after his opponents. who
were several lengths in front And a
stern chase he had. To get near them
he was compelled to race on the outside
all the way. but he raced on at
y terrific pace~ despite his injury and
gained ground with every boupd Com
icy l., 4. l. t.-l..
He was giving up every bit of speed
and stamina he possessed. but little
Bell was unable to help him and Ruddy
was too far ahead and he was COM
pelled to accept third honors
Veterinary Saves His Life.
When he returned to the scales his
right leg was painted crimson and while
he stood before the stewards while Bell
weighed out he bled a bucket full. Tom
Healey. his trainer. realized the danger
and sent a hurry call for a veterinary,
hut before he arrived the colt had bled
so profusely he was weak. The veter-
mary stopped the flow and saved the
colts life. but 1t is not likely he will
be able to race again this year. His
veteran trainer said he was the gamest
colt he had ever seen.
In Prince James Charles II. Thieriot has
winter quarters'tb king OF the turf He
scored his sixth consecutive victory in
the Fearnaught Handicap and accom-
plished his feat in such remarkably fine
style as 10 warrant the belief that he
will go on and beat all of the champion
ship contenders before the end of the
Pimlico meeting. His only opponents
were Mrs. Payne Whitney's Exodus and
r.. T. Wilson'S Tangerine. He made
f1,ovx. I@A1 L q -. H.
ing platers. He galloped throughout the
one mile and a sixteenth journey and
was eased up to almost a walk at the
end. four lengths ahead of Exodus
Taplin broke him in front. but took
back Immediately and allowed Exodus
to set the pace. Exodus was full of run.
but Taplin had to seesaw on his reins
TO keep Prince James from running over
him during the first half mile. Just be-
fore leaving the backstretch Taplin gave
his mount his head and Prince James
bounded forward so rapidly it seemed
as If Exodus had broken down. So fast
did Mr.. Thieriot's colt ravel that when
the hornestretch was reached he was half
= dozen lengths in front and fighting to
gain more.
At the final furlong pole Taplin looked
over his shoulder for his opponents. but
couldn't find them. He seemed sur
prised. and after taking another look
began TO pull up his mount. Despite
the ease with which he travelled Prince
James covered the distance in the real

Prince James Cost $500.
Prince James is a four-year-old SON Of
King James out Of Lacona. He cost Mr..
Thieriot only $500. Jack Goldsborough.
his trainer. picked him out at the Oxnar,i
yearling sales at Saratoga three years
ago along with Flannel Shirt and Mon
day Morning. Because of weak ankles
Prince James couldn't stand training
as two-year-old. and 1t was not until
late this spring that Goldsborough had
them in good enough condition to stand
hard training. They are in fine shape
now and II they remain so IL Will take a
4 mighty powerful horse to beat him In
the long distance races at Maryland this
fall.
