golden dividends. As proof, we

It is noteworthy that the shrewd
trio who shared in this harvest were

quite in the gypsy owner" class,
but far removed from such lavish
establishments as Greentree sta

old for $4,000 last October from
the well-knoWn Hirsch Jacobs by

man. Jacobs, long respected for
getting cheap horses and moving
them up. had claimed Marriage pre-
viously fer $1,000. But he did not
rate the platter worth more than
five grand. Hence. it was Coward
who cleaned up. One month after
Coward got the horse, Marriage
