filly owned and bred by John
A. Manfuso. won the Monu-
mental. running the mile in q
swift l:37ss. Just a fifth off
the track record. But had
Nickel Boy been around to run
the final quarter mile the re-
suit might have been different.
Nickel Boys racing career
ended just as Unexpectedly as
1t started.
Bred by Melvin Blackburn,
a tavern owner from Ellicott
City. Nd, Nickel Boy did not
figure to be a race horse. Both
his sire and dam - the UNI
known His Nickel and Carick-
macross - were sold to food
professors not too long after
the foal was born.
Nickel Boy became one of
those breeding mysteries.
Sound Of limb, Nickel Boy
started out as a lowly platter,
eventually was claimed for
$4,000 by Max Gluck. who
owned him for the last few
years. and earned 1857, 1903
during his career. Only four
Maryland-bred horses earned
more money.
The old horse never did any,
thing but advance the for
tunes Of all Of his owners.
They all made money with
him, although Gluck pocketed
the most as Nickel Boy i'm
proved with age. Then, too, his
original owner and breeder,
Blackburn, still was receiving
bonuses, which are paid to
breeders Of Maryland-b reds
who win at the State tracks.
Nickel Boy ended his career
with q flourish - making O
powerful move that had VIC
tory written all over it.

Christmas Seals Signify Interest
By Public In Health Problems

During the forthcoming Christ
mas season, the residents of
Jackson County will join with
millions of Americans in using
Christmas Seals on their cards,
letters and packages.
These colorful seals are mail

that our work helps to protect
the health Of all citizens of our
county and state" Mrs. Lockard
