LIKES HARD WORK

Right Sort To Have In Stable If there is one,: horse racing which likes the game it is that game little fellow, Cimabue. .' ' ' LIE gets his fair measure of; travelling about, but he seems to revel m it,', and the more, he is given the better^ he 'likes it. Seldom, indeed, does he run a bad race, and- when it is natural to expect he has had all he Wants he comes out and runs his best7eff 6rt7 " He had three 'outings at Trentham and improved with each. He started off by running fifth the first day, and. on the second he beat all home but Mervette. The last day Meadow Lark was fancied m preference to Cimabue, but he showed how wrong the backers of the favorite were. i It wasn't a race over the last furlong, and he went back to his quarters looking as though he. would not mind having another go. I For his inches, Cimabue has always the hardest part to do when there is a big field, and he never has anything m his favor m the matter of weight. It is always , number ' one or two saddle cloth for him. . , At home he is the pet of the stabl*e,\ and he will follow the boys round like a dog. | In fact, as Horty Lorigan says, he is the ideal horse to have round the .preniises.
