Harold Logan. Harold Logan, with his long winter coat and a tail about three sizes too big for him, yet in good healthy condition, was taken to tho Now Brighton track last week (says the Press). He has been having a lazy time of late, but when his harness and sulky were produced bv Mr E. F. C. Hinds he showed that he had not forgotten his more strenuous working days and behaved like a two-year-old. Harold Logan has always shown more than average intelligence, and his interest in the work of other horses was keen. A, suggestion has been made that at the next meeting of. the New Brighton Club, the old gelding should be sent on parade on the track on which lie established his mile and a quarter record. If given a, lit tic barrier practice lie might give a good lesson to younger horses. lie would m any case be assured of a kindly greeting from his many thousands of admirers.
