CAMPFIRE AND HOURLESS WEIGHED. S. C. Hildreth and Thomas J. Healey have been weighing and measuring the two great two-year-olds which they have in charge, Hourless and Camp-fire. Hourless, which stands just 15 hands and 2 inches high, is a quarter of an inch the taller of the two, while Campfire is a bit longer. Hourless weighs 1,018 pounds and girths 70 inches. Camp-fire weighs 1,054 pounds and girths 71 inches. Each trainer is uroud of his colt, and each is enthusiastic in his admiration of his stable champions most dangerous rival. As Hourless is nearly black, he looks smaller in proportion to his dctual measurements than does Campfire, which is a rich chestnut.
