The Finn has grown and Improved and he bids fair to be one of the high class handicap hones of loio. The three-year-old Ooasach, owned by J. W.

Mr. Goidblati was consoled however, bv Ihc fact that he had an insurance policy with the llartfor.l insurance to. on the horse, taken out through John A. Payne of Cincinnati.
