ticularly impressive was the manner
in which he worked; slow, graceful
motions; long, easy strokes with .
sledge and a quick appraisal Of his
finished product. "It's simple, any
body can do it," said Larry. but the
question is how long can he keep it up.
From in the morning until

training to accustom the mus

There are about 200 blacksmiths
who serve the thoroughbred areas OF
the country and they do not operate
on a cut-throat basis. Each one has
his own customers and their travels
are determined to q large extent by
the plans of those customers. IT one
Of their customers changes his sched-
ule and ships to point in another
area the blacksmith notifies = friend
at that point and the horseman is we'll

20 Shoes = Days Work.
Thoroughbred horseshoes average
only from 3 to 4 ounces in weight and
in size from to 13 inches; that Is,
the steel or aluminium shafts, before
they are treated, measure that dis
tance. A good days work Is five sets
of shoes. or a total Of 20. In addition,
it requires an additional hour to shoe
a horse and If he is bad ector some
times it takes much longer. A set Of
shoes will last an active thorough
bred about one month, but when a
muddy track comes up Unexpectedly
the blacksmiths have plenty OF rush
Jobs in equipping many Of the days
starters with special shoes for on
tracks.
Blacksmiths do not make special
efforts with better horses. They love
horses as much as the owners and
trainers do and they take as much
care with the cheap chalmers as they
do with stake horses. Sometimes q
smithy is blamed for horse losing a
race because of faulty shoeing. OF
course, blacksmiths occasionally make
mistakes, but what usually happens
is that the horse is bad actor and
has kicked against the starting gate.
or perhaps in close quarters another
horse has run up on him, loosening
the shoe. A race track blacksmith
could not afford to make many mis-
takes and still expect to hold his
clients and fer this reason most of
the smiths are artists at their trade.
Pelleteri's Luck Varies.
Tony Pelleteri is one of the shrewdest
trainers of horses now operating in
Maryland. His charges failed dismally

The cry of biased judging in dog
shows as everywhere else often is
raised. An exhibitor often will say in
positive tone. "Of course, he is
crooked. This dog has defeated II
champions and now So and So puts
that pup over him. That pup belongs
to Whosit and the judge had dinner
with the Whosits last night"
The exhibitor may forget that
the Judge and the Whosits were
friends long before either were
interested in show dogs.
Also. he may forget that dogs, like
everything else, have their off times
and off days. No animal can main
tain the acme of condition and
bloom" at all times. And an excel
lent dog in an off-period almost will
always go down before q mediocre one
that is right up on its toes.
The American Kennel Club keeps
q close check on the wins Of all show
dogs. and statistics over q long period
Of time show that top dogs sometimes
in their careers are defeated by others
note quite so keen, but that over a
period Of time and in competition over
q large area and under many judges a
good dog invariably gets his share Of
the honors. A striking example of how
dogs must face grueling tests is fur
nished by Ch. Nornay Saddler, which
is considered the smooth fox terrier
of the century. In rolling up Is terrier
group and 10 best in show victories this
dog was passed on by 81 different group
judges and rs different best in show
judges. Two judges who gave him
best in show at very large fixtures
failed to give him the same honors at
less keenly contested events when he
appeared bit of form.
Dog Bartering Intrigues.
The Fredericksburg Dog Mart is
scheduled for October 20. This Is q
different kind of dog show, a revival
Of q custom of Colonial days when
white men and indians met to barter
dogs for other necessities. While q
bit Of bartering may 60 on at the
modern affair, most Of the present.
day interest centers in the informal,
open-air market at which dogs of high
and low degree are sold. The day is
climaxed by an auction at which one
may offer dogs for sale to the highest
bidder. The auctioneer is as pictu-
rescue an individual as will be found
in "Ole Virginny," and the whole
performance Is good for many laughs.
If the weather Is good, which generally
it is at this time Of the year, the trip
down Is q delightful one, the atmos-
phere of the little park where the
dog mart Is held Is full of cheer and
interest, and the town itself certainly
Is worth seeing.

vision of his stable was winning with
regularity around the New York circuit.
At Laurel I expect 1t to be = different
story. Any time you see horse trained
by Pelleteri going down in the betting
odds, make sure that the size Of your
wager goes up. Tony seldom misses
when he has his money on the line.
It will pay you to tab the ring action
ON his charges very closely at all times.
Remember q few days ago when
Phara Belle won at Havre de Grace
and paid only An $50 mutuel, not
withstandlng the fact that she was .

q line on her capabilities? The secret
Is out. Bedwell made q wager in New
England which. according to reports,

wager received wide publicity.
Every telegrapher from Maryland to
New England knew about the tip,
which accounted for the filly winding

Mr. Bedwell undoubtedly will take care
that there are no leaks and he will get
the price he should obtain.

calls Tor fewer entries Tor the same
number of points, 1t IS expected that
many Northern breeders will take ad-
vantage of the Old Dominion's favora-
Bile location to compete for points.
Oddly enough, in some breeds which
have had their rating raised in the
Northern district. notably collies. the
rating in this section has been lowered
This means that the competition over
the last year or so has been keener
than ever in those breeds in the North
and has fallen of in the South.
However, the new rating,
which Is expected to bring in
entries from the North, will not
affect the quality Of the COM
petition the Northern dogs will
buck here.
Although there may not be quite so
many dogs or as large dog shows south
of the Mason and Dixon line there are
individually and kennel owned dogs in
this vicinity capable of defeating the
best in the country. Some Of the best
Of their breeds in this country among
English settlers, bulldogs, Boston ter
riers, collies, Shetland sheepdogs, Irish
terriers, dacbshunde and several other
breeds may be found within a radius
Of 10 or Is miles Of Washington. If
the Baltimore area be accepted as
local." the number easily may be dou-
bled. This statement is based on re-
suits of the keenest competition avail
able at national speciality shows, Nor
ris and Essex, Westminster and other
trials.

NEW YORK, Oct. In q swiftly
run 6la furlongs, w. E. Boeing's Por-
ter's Mite, holder of the world record
for the distance, nosed out Eight
Thirty to win the Belmont Futurity
today and take down s57,045 Of the
gross purse of $4,000.
The time was 1:16 As, two and two
fifth seconds slower than the record
set by Porter's Mite in the Champagne
Stakes two weeks ago. The sturdy son
OF The Porter, once owned by j. H.
Whitney. barely lasted to beat Eight
Thirty. the entry Of George D. Wide
ner, in a close and thrilling finish.
Third Degree, owned by Mrs. Payne
Whitney's Greentree Stable, was third,
a length and half off the leaders,
with William Woodward's favored
Johnstown fourth.
Benefactor, Col E. R. Bradley's
Kentucky Derby hope, ran seventh
in the field of II.
Owner Misses Victory.
Porter's Mite, a 6-to-1 shot despite
his victory two weeks ago over the
same sort of track, was we'll back at
the start as Jockey Jimmy Stout sent
JohnstoWn away in the lead. Com
ing up fast, the Boeing entry was two
lengths to the good a furlong from
home, but then had to be driven hard
by Basil James to hold of the chal-
lenge OF Eighty Thirty, quoted at
8 to 1 and ridden by Wayne Wright.
Boeing. Seattle Wash, airplane
manufacturer, was delayed in the West
by bad weather and did not see his
Futurity winner come home. He
bought the colt from Whitney last
winter in California for sum re-
ported to be about $500. To date
Porter's Mite has won more than
S6400G for his new owner.
Eight Thirty earned $7,400 for Sec
ond. with third place worth $4,000
and fourth, $1,000.
Romp for War Admiral.
Rigan Mckinney, crack amateur,
rode Thomas Hitchcock's Annibal to
a hollow victory in the Grand Ma
tional Steeplechase. The other two

The brown son Of Man O. War, at
