BY HENRY MLEMORE

NEW YORK; was being
strapped into the side saddle for
q canter through the park today
when the groom, chap named
Bride, showed an important
looking letter into my hand.
1t was from the Turf and
Sport Digest of Baltimore, ask
ing me to vote on the selection
of the horse of the year" I
could have given my answer
right there, but not wishing to
offend the horse I was sitting on
top of, l cut the thongs that
bound me to the saddle, and
hurried here to the office to cast
my ballot.
In very large letters on the
voting slip for the outstanding
horse of the year wrote
J-O-H-N-S-T-O-W-N. That's my
choice, first, last and always.
You may have your Challedon,
your Kayak the Twice, and your
Bimelech.
I'll take William Woodward's
big three-year-old who brought
the red hood of the Belair stud
rolling home in front in the Ken
lucky Derby and the Belmont
Stakes.
JUST TOO FAST
He broke down during the sea-
son, sure, but what do you think
made him crack up? Nothing
but this: He was too fast for
his own good. There was so
much speed, SO much drive, so
much will to run in him, that
his body couldn't stand it.
It's no secret that the big
fellow cracked seven--yes, seven
track records in his final
workout at Aqueduct before be-
ing shipped to Chicago for the
Arlington classic :.
That workout must have fin
ished him, because he wasn't
himself at Chicago and he never
ran another race after that one.
His breathing became bad and
his legs began to show the wear
and tear of his blistering jaunts.
But what a running fool he
was before he broke down! Had
you seen him at Louisville, maxi
ing every pole a winning one in
the Derby, you'd vote the same
as I have. He was at his best
that day, and, given a fast track,
which, after all, Is the kind races
are supposed to be run over, he
made Challedon look like some
thing unhitched from the chill
dren's pony cart.
He could carry his weight and
speed over a distance of ground,
too. He proved that in the Bel
mont when he went mile and
a half and came past the judges
with his ears erect and his joe
key holding him back.
TWICE BEAT CHALLEDON
Johnstown whipped Challedon
twice-in the Derby and in the
Dwyer Stakes at a mile and
one-eighth.
Challedon beat big John twice,
at Arlington and in the Freak
ness. But the big fellow was
ailing at Chicago and the mud
was fetlock deep for the Freak
ness.
A fact that influences me In
picking Johnstown As the horse
of the year Is that he won the
two stakes that are tops with
horsemen-the Derby and the
Belmont. The Derby requires

a stubby undistinguished looking lit
tie person with on arm and very
quantity made suit of sporting cloth
es. Nevertheless, there was some
thing almost like affection in Matres-
ser's eyes as he watched him ap-
proach.
"Good staff work, Yates" he said.
"Have you got it,"
Yates drew from his pocket an en-
velope and from the envelope photo
graph. He handed it over. Mattress
ser gave one glance at it and returned
it.
Keep it locked up" he enjoined.
II never had any doubt really but we
seemed to have got into too close quar-
tiers to risk a mistake. Did you see
Fergus?"
The little man was silent and Mat
resser realized that there was trag-
edy in his face.
There's bad news about Fergus,
sir" he confided. "They have just
fetched DR.. Andrews from the other
side of the wood. He had fit OF
delirium this morning."
"Delirium? But I thought he was
almost himself again."
$50 the doctor thought, sir. So
we all thought. He was to have got
up today. Mrs. Foulds took him up a
bath and found him on the floor. He
gave one moan when she came in and
fell over. She sent boy on his BIZ
cycle to fetch the doctor but they are
afraid that he is dead"
Matresser was silent for several
maments then he shivered slightly.
Keep as quiet as you can about
this, Yates" he enjoined. II should
think that you will probably find that
it is only relapse. AS soon as you
can get any news, send a card down
to Humphreys" lodge. shall get it
at luncheon time"
"There is nothing else can do,
sir?"
Nothing except keep this quiet"
Matresser insisted earnestly, "Dont
let soul know what has happened"
"I understand, sir, perfectly"
Matresser turned his head. His
loader stepped forward.
"You will excuse me, your lordship"
he said, Humphreys whistle went
two mintes ago. The birds are COM
ing over the knoll. The young ladies
are reckoning to you"
Matresser snatched up one of his
guns and hurried off. Elisabeth SIAM

he wanders off without any fixed in
tentions. He shoots a great deal of
course but a healthy mans appetite
for that sort of thing must decline
before middle age. He seems to have
the real wanderlust. Do you know
that when he goes away we can only
correspond with him through an Of
flee in London? They forward our
letters to him and he writes to us care
Of them. He makes no plans. There
is no system whatever about his tray
els"
Bemrose twirled his gray NOUS
tache.
II sometimes wonder whether you
quite do your son justice, Lady Mat
resser," he said. Don't you think
it possible that he may be doing a lit
tie work we none Of as know anything
about?"
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1939-03-03

"Do you really believe that?" she
asked curiously. "Have you ever heard
anything that would lead you to think
sou
"Well l would not go so far as to
say that" was the cautious admission,
"but do know that the Foreign Of
flee had sent for him several times
before he went abroad and I have
heard it said by people who ought to
know that if only he would work on
more rigid lines he would be inval-
liable to the government"
First time I have ever heard such
a thing limited at" Lady Matresser
confessed frankly.

At dinner that evening the Coun-
tess of Matresser made what was al
most an official announcement. She
had been talking to the Earl of Benz
rose, who was seated on her right.
Ronald has practically given me
his word" she confided, shat his
wanderings are over. He is going to
settle down and do his duty to his
neighbors. We have been without a
man here long enough" :.
1T will be good news for the coun-
ty, Of course" he admitted, "and as
you know the Lord Lieutenanacy Is
his for the asking. On the other hand,
I cannot help wondering sometimes
whether he will be quite content"
II might share that fear" she con-
fessed, "if only there had been more
point about Ronnie's travels. If he
had been an explorer for instance, or
a climber had discovered new coun-
tries or sailed in strange seas and
written about these places, then I
could have sympathized with him, but

| like a butcher. Nothing would ever
convince me that in private life
whatever he may be-he has not the
instincts of a butcher"
She turned to Elisabeth.
How does he strike you? she ask
ed.
81 think that you are letting your
! imagination run away" Elisabeth
answered. 81 have taken no special
notice of Mr.. Westrheene but he
seems to shoot in the same fashion
as the others, only very much better
than some of them"
"Look out!" Matresser warned
them. Here he comes"
Van Westrheene came swinging
down the ride followed by his loader
and with an abject and obsequious
underkeeper by his side. He was be-
ing conducted to his stand as though
he were royalty. He raised his hat
with flourish as he neared the little
group.
Evan Westrheene," Matresser said,
"let me present you to my sister, Lady
Ann Matresser and Mademoiselle
Elisabeth Stamier."
Again Van Westheene from his
great height, bowed stiffly but with
an attempt at geniality.
1T is great pleasure" he MUIR
INJURED. 81 find this, Lady Ann, if
may say so, most beautiful family
property of yours-so near the sea,
such beautiful woods, such enhancing
country. It surprises me only that
your brother, with such possessions,
should be such great traveller"
my brother is turning over a new
leaf now" Ann confided. "He is GO
ing to settle down at home and look
after US ALL"
ut is decision" Mr.. Van West
rheene said, "taken with excellent
TASTE"
Another flourish of the hat and he
passed on. Matresser turned to Ann.
IF you girls want to see any shoot
ing," he proposed, "you had better
take that ride to the left. Make your
way along it for about half a mile
without talking and just after you
have passed one of the shelters turn to
the right and you will come to five

the outside of the wood down as far
as there, and if you open it's softly
and come and sit on the knoll and wait
for me there ought to be something
doing, but you would not find it pleas
ant walking down outside with me.
There are two streams to cross and a
lot of Doggy land"
Ann nodded and drew her compan-
ion away. Matresser with his loader
in attendance, made his way into the
meadow. He shot high pigeon and
few minutes later a snipe, then he
had a somewhat profitless walk across
some rough country until he reached
the bend before the knoll. Here there
was pause while the left wing of
the beaters swung around. Matresser
tied his handkerchief to the end of his
shooting stick and waved it for a
moment above his head. Almost i'm
mediately, white gate leading out
into the road was opened and small
man came briskly through. He was

Ter GREETED him with a curious look of
apprehension in her eyes.
"Why were you talking to that little
man for so long while all these pleas
ants were getting away?" she asked.
Matresser exercised the privilege of
a man with a gun. He went on shoot
ing and remained silent.
