WHOPPERS HEALTH IMPROVES LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 26. Whopper, which came home three monhts ago weighing 1,020 pounds and looking very emaciated, now weighs 1,350 pounds and looks as good as he ever did. He has been examined monthly since his return to Kentucky- by Dr. Charles E. Hagyard, who says there is no trace of the bladder stones which developed at Hialeah Park last winter and occasioned two operations for their removal. Whopper now drinks only water from cisterns and eats no hay containing clover. He gets straight timothy hay exclusively. Whether he will be raced during the winter is yet to be decided, but he is to be pointed for stake engagements, and it is intended that he shall later enter the stud at Beaumont Farm.
