THOROUGHBREDS FOR UTILITY PURPOSES. "The value of the thoroughbred for everyday par l«ses is strongly maintained by T. II. Lore, of Montreal, who uses ten of them regularly in his big laundry business," writes Francis Nelson in the Toronto Globe. "Until recently Sehroeders Midway w.rs one. Lin trainer Allan Rulcroft came around and ottered 00 lor the horse, desiring to put him in training again. "Five hundred dollars is the price, said Mr. Love, and when it was suggested that ;s5 mi looked a nig price for a laundry wagon horse, he added, thats what hes worth to me. right there with the harness on him. I have ten thoroughbreds at the same business and every one of them is worth two cold-blooded horses. Sdiroc-ders Midway is like the rest of them: be does as tntnh work as tw dinaiy horses, and I figure thai 1 am saving fifty per cent, in thai part of my business bi their use. They d more, wear better and cost only as much as owe to keep." Mr. Bul-cioft bough I the horse and ran him several t hues last week at Blue Bonnets. He was outclassed there, but is still good enough to win where the quality is not so high."
