CLEVELANDS MISTAKE COSTLY LEXINGTON, Ky., July 29. Dan Chap-pells two-year-old chestnut colt by Burgoo King Lybia has been very appropriately named, Unravelled, and he will likely be starting soon in New England. It cost James C. Cleveland, owner of Mintwood Farm, Lexington, 0 to get this name for Mr. Chappells colt, because Mr. Cleveland had mistakenly reported this colt dead, when it was actually the chestnut colt by Pot au Feu Lady Stimulus which died. Unaware of his mistake, Mr. Cleveland put the Burgoo King colt in the Lexington Sales last October, as the Pot au Feu colt, and he brought only 00, whereas had he been sold under his proper breeding, he undoubtedly would have brought double or better than that sum. "You can bet Ill check every certificate against the horse in the future," said Cleveland today. "That mixup has cost me plenty."
