release in English and have clipping come back in
Spanish German and French. Strikes me sort Of
funny. anyway"
THE COOPERATION OF FOREIGN journalists is
nothing short Of amazing, Jaeger continued. especially

posted on all important races hopefuls for the Inter-
national and cht-chat Of the turf world He
also spends couple Of hours daily scanning foreign
papers for news.

THE ATTRACTION AT Trainer Jim Arthur's barn
was a strong bond Of affection between Two Hasty,
3-year-old ally and nanny goat Arthur started to
lead the goat away and Two Hasty made such rumpus
he had to bring her right back.

The filly nipped the goat, though reprovng It's
unfaithfuness but when feeding time came the goat ate
out Of the same pail with no objection
