In answer to the question as to
how long he had been covering the

which entered the Ark. Where.
upon, Jim Healey vowed that If
he did Tom Lynch made the chart
as they scrambled up the gang

Leighton's early arrival in the
National Capital was not actuated
through any inherent desire. to
let his New York readers know
just how this and that thorough
bred was shaping up at either
Benning or Bowie. Leighton is
not much given to pre.campaign
predictions.
Mrs. Leighton has been in iii
health the greater part of the
winter and it was thought q
change to q more sOuthernly
climate might do her world OF
good. She is now under the care
OF q specialist and will probably
remain here during the entire
Maryland season.
It is not often that a young
fellow makes much Of an impress.
sion as coming Jockey in a very
short time, much less than a day,
but that is exactly what happened
at Benning yesterday. And all
the more so when that youngster
had never ridden a horse before.
Matt Brady, who trains the j. Z.
Davis string, was approached by
decidedly brown skinned lad,
weighing but eighty-five pounds,
with a request for a job as exer.
else boy. Brady gave the kid the
double-O and learned that he is a
Filipino only in this country a
few months.
Asked If he had ever ridden
horses, the boy replied in the mega.
tive. Asked how old he was he re.
piled, Nineteen" There was some.
thing about the kid which impressed
Brady. The Davis trainer ordered
out a saddle pony and the little
Filipino was hoisted aboard.
Brady took the pony by the
bride and started around the bull
ring. After a couple of trips he
stopped, and after showing the
lad the proper spring, cautioned
him to let him know when he
began to tire. Off starts Brady,
the kid and the pony at q can
ter.
After about twenty trips around
the ring, Brady called it day.
But It was enough. The way that
little Filipino picked up the proper
spring ELECTED much favorable com.
ment from those who watched the
performance. Brady believes the
boy has the making of good
jockey. His name is Lorenzo Guier-
rero.
Other visitors at Benning yester.
day were Gen. James A. Buchanan
and his son. General Buchanan
has just returned from Cuba and
states that the season at Oriental
Park has been the most successful
held in several years. Hotel accom-.
modations were wholly inadequate
for the great number Of tourists
visiting the island.
General Buchanan was an inter.
ested spectator when Trainer James
Healey schooled a half dozen jump
ers over the brush. Steeplechasing
appeals more to the veteran Vir-
gilman than competition upon the
fiat
