ONE OF OLD ROSEBUDS PECULIARITIES. A peculiar trait in Old Rosebud Is that he never appears to cure to go away from his rivals, but when he has tliem beaten, he sticks close as if to .draw the. finish himself. No amount Of urging can make the gelding go away. This is true of several thoroughbreds, but particularly noticeable of Old Rosebud; Undoubtedly the old campaigner knows he has his opHiient at his mercy ami does not try to lengthen the margin, which is all well and good, but very trying for his supporters, who would be, I more at ease If he opened daylight on his field.
