Bob Potee, the stables agent, reported that the horse had bowed. It appeared as if Top- boot would be troublesome in the handicap division this year. Puss in Boots, his dam, was sent across to the other side during the war and bred to Amadis. Her passage, which was obtained only after a lot of diplomatic work with the government, cost her owner ,100 and the ship she left on carried some 500,000 pounds of gun powder. When she landed her groom walked over half of Eng- land before he landed her at the stud where she was bred. Robert West, one of the partners in the Kenton Stock Farm of Kentucky, was an arrival. C H. Oilroy, in whose colors Mayor House ran, was another visitor.
