ONLY $4,000
To TIE
By TOM THORP

VIII the c. v. whitney stable
establish a new money-winning
record before the end Of the pres
ent year?
That is the question paramount
in the conversation of most Of the
racing fraternity. To date the
popular Eton blue and brown has
compiled = total of $416.000. The
triumph of May Trump in the En-.
durance Handicap at Bowie raised
the winnings to this high water
marx for the season. ..
However, this is some $2O,OOO
short of the American record
made by the Rancocas stable in
1923. Harry F. Sinclair's thor
oughbrads earned the record sum
of $438, ,C49, the greatest in the
history of the American turf.
Thomas j. Healey, commander
in-chief of the C. v. Whitney rae
ing force, feels confident his
charges will surpass the present
record before the end Of the sea-
son. will ship another division to
trainer, has a string OF stars at
jefferson Park. Jack Healey. a
son, will ship another division to
Florida. Both strings should be
able to compile enough earnings
to establish new American
record.
Record to Shoot At
The Rancocas stables record
has often been held up as a tar
get for other owners to set 1or
trainers. It stands out in bold
relief over the nearest rival. The
nearest any establishment ever
came to equaling the marx was
when the late Jimmy Rowe, sr.,
was in charge of the Harry Payne
whitney barn in 1925. He COM
piled a total of $407, ,139. !,
The Rancocas stable was trained
by that great horseman, Samuel
Clay Hildreth when it made It's
American record. "Unce SAM,
as the veteran was best known
to the turf community, was one
of the greatest horsemen devel-
oped in American racing. Many
are of the opinion ne was the
leader of all present-day trainers:
Hildreth was a deep student OF
horseflesh. He was raised IN Cne
Western horse country. After serV-
ing as a jockey on various quar-
ter tracks of the Southwest. ne
came East with a reputation.
However, it was not until he was
placed in charge of the Rancocas
stable that he rose to national
fame.
Many ThOrOughbreds
Hildreth had many great thor
oughbrds in his charge. He de-
veloped many a champion. But 1t
remained for the little, game colG
Zey to establish him at the peak
of the money winning trainers OF
the American turf. Zev was the
real cause for the American rec
ord of $43S, ,849. BY his triumph
over the graf British star, Papy
rus, in the international Sweep
stakes at Belmont Park, ZeV
earned $4,000. He won in a COM
mon canter through the mud in
the good time of 2:35 2-5 for the
mile and half.
The C. v. Whitney barn has
had the advantage of the winning
efforts of Top Flight, a daughter
of Dis-Donc- -F1yatit, considered
the greatest filly bred in the
United States. The champion
filly has earned $4,000 by her
unbroken string of victories.
Tom Healey is confident his
charges will earn enough between
now and the end of the year not
only to surpass the American
mark. but establish one which
will stand for many years to come.
Nose Golblatt has a string Of Is
stars at jefferson Park. Several

papers or copies are sent to persons Of the
same family name in the United States. This
gives an appearance Of genuineneSs to the game.
The letter continues, "a few estates to which
misguided persons believe themselves to be
heirs but which actually do not exist are Sir
Francis Drake, Hyde, Jennings. Patrick Ruoker.
Hedges, Mosher, Weber, Duke OF Argyle and
James Dixon. News stories frequently appear
in a certain class Of the sensational press stat
ing that q certain person has inherited vast
sums from England which win soon be released,
by the courts Of chancery, after which nothing
Is ever heard OF the alleged estate. It Is also
known that there are certain persons who come
to England representing heirs Of such estates
as the So-ealled Drake estate and have lived
here in idleness on the proceeds Of money sent
them by persons in the United States who can
Ill afford it,"
A list is added to the proper sources of infor-
nation to which Americans may write, and the
procedure that must be gone through. list
Is also added Of all the improper Offices and
persons to whom letters have been. but should
not be sent This Is done in order to help am
bilious heirs" get the truth I'm the quickest
and cheapest way.
The estates that are most frequently In
1uired about have been looked up and the situa-
ton made clear For example, the British
Foreign Once wrote to the American Ambassa-
dor at London that there is not and has never
been any unclaimed Drake estate. Information
that is known is included In the letter sent out
by the Department of State. And the fact that
there are no known estates awaiting claimants
is stressed.
The British embassy in Washington has also
received so many appeals for assistance in the
gaining Of estates that form letter has been
drafted This simply states 1--WE have heard
from his majestys government that no such
estate exists" and refers the writer to the
American consul.

been going on for centuries. The sucker, other

WiM Life Valuable.

THE tremendous value of the wild life Of O.
Nation Is wen illustrated by rather exc
haustiVe survey carried on in South Carolina
as q representative State the survey showing
that the game represents an annual return Of
$l3,00OOOO
The value Is divided into several categories.
The meat and fur value is set at $2,75O,OOO.
The destruction Of insect and other pests Is
valued ct IS, 2OO. 900 and the yield of fish at
$4,000. The money spent on hunting equip
ment lodging and other incidentais to a hunt
ing or fishing trip make up the balance of the
$l3000OOO. II the same figures may be taken
as average for similar areas throughout the
United States the tremendous value Of the Wild
life can be easily estimated
