y
 Investigation would disclose that the neigh belongs to Gallant Fox, greatest money winning horse of all time. An interpreter of thorough bred neighings would give you the low-down:
 "Yes, Big Red is a trifle concern cd. You see, his ears have picked up rumors than Sun Beau has de- signs on his all-time money winning record.
 Big Reds father, Sir Galahad III, whose quarters are right next door, has frequently tried to allay the youngsters fears with nickers of assurance that Sun Beau will not de- throne him. Even if he does,' req sons Sir Galahad III, his record will lack the luster of yours. You cam paigned only two short seasons while he has been at it four years Still, it is apparent that Sun Beau is some thing of a nightmare to Big Red."
 Dopcstcrs Say So
 Expert dope does say that Gal lant Fox has cause to worry. All tips point to Sun Beau in the Agua Cali ente Handicap March 22-and this in spite of the fact that the talented son of Sun Briar-Beautiful Lady must shoulder 129 pounds, and pos sibly more.
 Seventy-two are eligible for the second renewal of the Agua Calente event and the weights range from Sun Beaus 129 pounds down to 90 pounds which four horses have been assigned. Willis Sharpe Kilmer's horse must carry 13 pounds more than Mike Hall, Easter Stockings. Crack Brigade and Challenger II, an n E,nD1anI
 Three additional pounds will be fastened to Sun Beau's saddle if he attends the New Orleans Handicap and wins. However, those closely associated with his handlers say he will remain away from New Orleans and concentrate on Agua Caliente.
 Many have questioned Owner Kill mer's wisdom in naming SAn Beau for the Baja, California classic. They see in him an undisputed champion during the 1881 summer and fall campaigns. Kilmer should allow him to rest up during the winter, they contend.
 But Sun Beau is credited with winning $265,8l9--and there's where the rub comes. A victory in Agua Cal,ente's $140,000 affair, crossing over $100,000 for the winner, will brimg Sun Beau's winnings to some thing like $366,00O. Kilmer wants to see his thoroughbred overshadow the records of S341,36 won by Gal lant Fox; $335,340 won by Ksar, the French wonder horse of several years ago, and $313,639 won by Zev in national and international cam paiGns.
 Looks Good
 Sun Beaus training workouts at ha iv.G Grn1Indc in Cn1Ir1hia are encouraging to w. A. Doc) Crawford, his trainer. Doc has ad- vised the horse that Owner Kilmer plans to retire him to the stud at his New Market, Va., farm, follow ing his final dash from the barrier March 22. It would appear, then, that whatever plans Sun Beau has made with regard to busting Gallant Fox as the leading money winner of all time must be carried out that day at Agua Caliente.

HOOCH HELPED HAWAII

The pastor of St James church in Montreal, Canada. Dr Lloyd c. Douglas, told the Y. M. c. A. in that city that rum led to the conversion of the inhabitants of Oahu in the Hawaiian group. Intoxication. said the minister, was strictly forbidden by the religion of the natives. When Captain Cook introduced rum among them they took to it like ducks to water and drunkenness became com mon. Finding that they suffered none of the punishment threatened by their old religion the Hawaiians decided to adopt Christianity.-The Pathfinder.
