The silver loving cup, given by the Association of Commerce for the winners of first place, will be awarded at that time and a program of talks and enter- tainment is planned. Tickets for the banquet will be on sale at the Association of e; at Harris and Woodmansee’s; at the J. B.

Gleneig, imported by R. W. Cam- eron, of the Clifton stud, New York, foaled in 1866 and died at the farm of Tyree Bate, Castilian Springs, Tenn, at the age of thirty-one.

It seems the thoroughbred type of horses of more than 100 years ago, progenitors of the racers seen in ac- tion today, were as long-lived as the Present generation.

Some horses, of course, like the famed Exterminator, con- tinue their track careers for years after crossing this mark, but most m pass quickly into oblivion as racers. Breeders, however, know that con- trary to general opinion the u: fulness and longevity of thorough- breds extend many years longer in and often more lucrative reign in the stud.
