Allowmaise broke dow. and lie is now in the stud. Another prominent turfmen arrived in the pcrso of Mose Goldblatt, who is improved iu health. II contemplates getting together a band to race th coming winter in Mexico. Mr. Goldblatt says all h wants is a racer as good as was Jessie Jarbo while carrying his colors. Gene Elrods special arrived from Lexington tonight and all of the regulars, including starter Mars Cassidy, were aboard. The weather is ideal and the prospect for a glorious inauguration of the meeting on Monday is good. John Grillin II. is the original "come-back." Age seemingly does not affect his high Might of speed. It is not many years since this noted racer was plowing corn in Kansas. While thus engaged, he attracted the attention of a country doctor, who purchased him. John Grifiin II. then supplied the motive power for the doctor in his calls earlv and late over the Kansas plains. The old gelding finally rebelled and ran away one day. The country doctor was conveyed to a city hospital aud for some time lie was in a serious condition. The doctor said John Grlftin II. certainly was no family horse, but belonged on a raco course. The diagnosis was correct. A trainer bought the horse for 0, corrected him of the habit of running off mil in the meantime, developed his speed. This trainer informed D. C. Cottle that John Grillin II. had the speed of a ghost and Mr. Cottle bought the horse. For several seasons Air. Cottle raced John Grillin II. around the bush tracks, running him a quarter of a mile and occasionally a. half. Ild defeated every horse iu the southwest and those racers taken there to trim liim lie defeated. Those persons who are inclined to wager on Poliie Levy will learn with satisfaction that this fast filly is at last adopting good track manners. Now and then she fails to get away from the post. She has a habit of swinging her head to one side and declining the issue. Recently she seems to have discarded this habit and she is now displaying a decidedly better disposition. By giving her a post position between two horses she usually get off like a Hash. Concerning her Seed, there is no question.
