In 1851 her horse Bold won
the PreakneSs and later was
killed by bolt of lightning while
standing in the center of one of
the large pastures. Everett v.
Ellis, the stable foreman who
showed us about, pointed out
the spot. The grass still doesn't
grow there. He also showed us
the bronze marker on the grave
of Cavalcade who. in 1884. won
the Kentucky Derby, the Arling-
ton Classic and the American
Derby and came second in the
Preakness behind his own stable
mate High Quest.
The Brookmeade horses are
sent to Belmont, the Long Island
track where Mrs. Sloane has a
large training stable. One thing
is certain. No horses are stabbed
better than hers. The housekeep-
ing is perfect.
AS we left the handlers were
bringing a string of yearlings
in from pasture. They were
ready to be shipped north for
training. No one can tell so
early in the game. There might
be another Cavalcade among
them.

Middleweight Holly Minis of

Minis changed from his usual

command from the start. In

on leather and was a knockout
winner by lis Of the second
round.
A left hook early in the round
put Baxter down, and after he
got up another left to the face
bounced him back to the can
vas. He again was able to get
up, but that was all and Referee
Eddie LaFond stopped it.
The crowd of 834 was treated
to another sudden ending in the
scheduled Six-round seminal

Cooper of Washington and Willie
Brown of New York, with Cooper
the winner at lao of the third.
The out-of- shape Cooper was
getting the worst of this fight
until he sank a stiff right into
Browns middle in the third

before the 10-count but was
