Days when hunting is impossible because of sleet and rain, which we have had recently, the hunting crowd flocks to Charles Town, W. Va. for the races. Among sportsmen here who run horses at Charles Town are Reg- inald Bishop, Mellville Bearns, Turner Wiltshire, John Hay Whitney and Ewart Johnson. A good race horse always is of in- terest, no matter how old he may be. One such is Ballot, foaled in 1904 at the Castleton Stud of James R. Keene. Ballot, & golden chestnut, carried Keene’s colors to many victories in this country and in England, winning the Select Stakes at New Market as a b-year-old. He was stakes winner of 17 races and $154,002, his victories | including Double Event, Neptune, Ma- tron, Iroquois, Great Republic, Cen- tury, Pirst Special, Edgemere, Stand- ard States and Suburban Handicap. Ballot stood at stud in England in 1912, and when Keene died in 1913 he was purchased by John E. Madden, and that Spring was returned to| B America and sent to Kentucky. He was described then as “a rich chestnut, 16-1, with a star narrow blaze on face | and near hind leg white. His superb | B condition aroused the admiration of | § all horsemen who saw him.” Ballot, after a year at Hamburg Place, Ky, was sold by Madden to Charles H. Berryman, in whose pos- | B session he had been until a few days ago. Ballot stood in Kentucky until | two years ago, being taken out of serv- | B ice at the age of 30. His career as a croft School.

Why? Because it leaks heat. And here is why: Your wall and attic spaces are hollow. In Winter they allow heat to pour out (and waste’ fuel) and in Summer they allow heat to pour in (and make your rooms uncomfortably hot). Johns-Manville Rock Wool Insulation actually seals these heat-stealing spaces and makes your rooms more comfortable all year around. You will do well to investigate what it can do for your home.

He long ranked among our leading sires and his sons and daugh- ters duplicated his success on the race course and in the paddock. He is the sire of Midway, Chilhowee, Ticket, Tannery, Bribed Voter, Star Voter, | etc, but it is through his daughters that Ballot will be best and longest | remembered. Among them being the | dams of the stake winners Vito, Rolled | Stockings, Espino, Sir Harry, Pitts- | burgher, Bantry Pass, Cyclops, Ruddy, Prince of Bourbon, Cousin Jo, Election Day, Isaiah, Fraidy Cat and Count | Arthur. Ballot's present age is 32, and he is spending his last days in ease | and comfort. Owing to the death in July of his owner, and the disposal of his stable it was necessary to get a new home for Ballot. Nearing his 33d year, naturally no one wanted to buy him, as he is only a shadow of his former eelf; yet he is possessed of such vital- ity, with a look of deathless courage, seen only in the eyes of the gamest of horses, as he surveys his surround- ings, every inch a conqueror. Raymond Gentry, a young and en- thusiastic horseman, enlisted the in- terest of his employer in Ballot and was presented with the old horse and zent to Keeneland, the new race track in Kentucky opened in October.
