watch in one hand and a gold headed cane ill the other. You just can't convince the clockers, the trainers, the grooms, the swipes and all the others whose work is done in and about the big green and white barns beyond the backstretch at Churchill Downs, that Colonel Ed won't be around when Bimmy brings out the Idle Hour silks.
 They allow as how, over there where the air is sweet with fresh clean hay, and the clang of the blacksmith's anvil, that the colonel's heart is strong enough to stand anything. Hasn't it, they argue been ticking along for 30 years now despite many a shock. It didn't stop when turn of card cost hlm fortune, or when Behave Yourself cost him another fortune by beat ing Black Servant in the rundown the stretch, or when a gun was thrown on him in his early days in the wild and woody west, or when the dice and the little ball ran against him in his casino at Palm Beach.
 He wasn't supposed to see Bime- lech make his first start of the year in the Bluegrass Stake at Keenland last Thursday, but when the field went to the post it paraded past an automobile parked alongside the rail. In the car, and with no doc tors around, was Colonel Ed. AS ii rehearsing for what the doctors say he must do next Saturday, the Col onel kept his eyes turned away from the track at the start, and lis tened to the radio. But when J. E Widener's Roman took the lead and led Bimelech into the first turn, the Colonel switched off the radio and turned the glasses on his baby.
 As if he felt the eyes of his mas ter on him, and drew inspiration from the adoring glance, Bimelech turned on the heat and drove tc the front. As he passed the mile pole, the colonel smiled and said:
 "He did it in thirty seven and two. And the tracks two seconds off,"
 The Colonel had clocked him, and clocked him right on the nose.
 Maybe the doctors will keep him at Idle Hour 75 miles away, but who wants to bet they will. ] wouldn't be surprised if the Colonel himself wouldn't make book on it My guess is that when the field comes on the track the Colonel will be somewhere close by and joining in, though softly, when the crowd huns My Old Kentucky Home."
