RED LEAF A HOMELY RACER. "There," said J. O. Keene, at Brighton Beach Saturday", as he surveyed Bed Leaf just liefore she departed from the paddock to try her luck against Dandelion in the Seashore Handicap, "is the best racehorse for her looks 1 ever saw bar one. The exception was a horse I saw in Bnssia, He was no Idgger than Bed Leaf and he did not have anything on her in the matter or conformation. Yet lie could carry 150 pounds ami win at five miles. They have good horses in Bnssia, too, mind you." Red Leaf is not more than fifteen hands two inches high and she Is a ewe-uecked, scrawny, raw-honed little thing. But in spite of Oier poor looks she has a quick turn or speed, she is game and she can go any distance. She crowded Dandelion closely in the Seashore. Miller had to do his best fo get the Hamburg stallion home "first.
