known to partake of the cup
that cheers from time to

Anyway, upon being question
ed as to his condition he
stated that he had been 10 4

him To take it easy for
awhile. Further questioning
revealed that the doctor had
recommended a strict diet
of fruit juices nothing else.
When asked what kind of

short while ago has firmly es-

as a most unusual and en-
barrassing incident. Over in
Pennsylvania a horse named
Grey Boy received a big
ovation for his performance,
grace and beauty. The crowd
gasped as Grey Boys tail fell
off as he left the ring. Seems
Grey Boy had lost his tail as
colt and the owners had
tied a false tail to the stub
of what was left making it
appear that the horse had a
full. tail. My, N.Y.!
