stretch to win by two and one-half
lengths from B. F. Whitaker's Myth

see thoroughbreds worth hundreds Of
thousands of dollars striving for new
fame and glory. And behind every
one of these proud bluebloods is a
story.
Three, four, perhaps even five years
ago, a horse breeder worked late into
the night. Upon his desk were spread
the pedigree records Of the thorough
bred horse. These records have been
called the oldest social register in the
world" but this is being unfair to the
thoroughbred horse. His is more than
a record Of ancestors, for only the
most worthy are deemed deserving
enough to be reserved for breeding.
Carefully Chooses Stallion.
Our breeder, from these records and
his experience. is hoping to select for
his mare just the right stallion to help
produce q foal possessed of The quail
ity of bone and muscle, and. abuve all.
the disposition, the speed and the
COURAGEOUS racing heart to be cham
pion among champions. Finally he
closes his record books. walks through
the night to his stable for an inspec-
ton, gives his favorite mare q good
night lump of sugar as though to tell
her he has made up his mind. and. his
decision, made, he turns in for some
much-needed rest.
He may have chosen = stallion

He may have had to back his judg-
ment by paying . fat stud fee run

he has to care for her and feed her

Montgomery Board Makes
Final Offer for Strip on
Connecticut Ave.

A final offer of $500 for the
abandoned street car right of way on
Connecticut avenue between Chevy
Chase Circle and Chevy Chase Lake
has been made to the Capital Transit
Co. by the Montgomery County Board
of Commissioners, it was learned today.
Authoritative sources indicated that
the compromise offer, which is now
under consideration by the Board OF
Directors of the transit company.
might be accepted. The board two
weeks ago repeated its offer OF $4,000
for the 20-foot strip. which has total
acreage of slightly less than five acres.
The transit company has been holding
out for $4,000.
Hagner Plan Is Voted.
The board, it was learned today,
passed resolution on motion of Com
missioner Robert D. Hagner, in whose
district the right of way lies, raising
Its offer from S., 900 to $500. Although
Mr.. Hagner did not include it in his
motion, he said today that If the offer
we're not accepted he would urge that
condemnation proceedings be instituted
Immediately.
Board members have been advised
that the Maryland State Roads Com
mission is prepared to begin work on
the Connecticut avenue Improvement
project as soon as the right of way
can be secured. Many Chevy Chase
civic groups have requested that Con-
necticut avenue north of Chevy Chase
Circle be repaved The street car
tracks have been covered over with
a surface of macadam from the circle
to Bradley lane. North of Bradley
lane the tracks have been removed
entirely. leaving 2o-foot ravine be-
tween two strips of pavement. which
ioin into a single road at Chevy Chase
Lake.
Increase Held Not Warranted.
While the S2,500 which the board
added to its first offer is not warranted
by the actual value Of the property,
Mr.. Hagner said. the price would be
justified if the expense of condemna-
ton could be eliminated and the right
Of way obtained Immediately so that
the Improvement work could be started
within the next few weeks.
The right of way has been the sub
ject of dispute between the County
Board and the transit company for
more than year. The board has
several times made an offer of $4,000
on the ground that the strip is of
little value except for parkway
between the two traffic lanes. Com
pany officials, however, claim that the
property was carried on their books
at valuation of $4,000 and that they
were not in a position to dispose of
It for less.
