It seemed a hard matter to determine which may be the ten best by Uncle and the ten best by Star Shoot, but eventually it worked out about like this, though the publics judgment when they go under George Bains hammer in the Fasig-Tipton Companys new arena at the Spa Thursday may prove to be somewhat different.
