The steeplechasing and other private equine exhibitions of one sort and another held there every fall are highly popular with those fortunate enough to be invited to them. Mr. Whitney's devotion to the turf, which has recently manifested itself most strongly at Saratoga, is due mainly to the keen delight he takes In racing as a recreation. As a horseman pure and simple Harry Payne Whitney undoubtedly is the superior of his father, dcserving as the is of reputation In that line. Nor is this surprising, since at the age the younger was devoting much of his time to the study of horses and horsemanship William C was bending his energies chiefly along the lines of the law, politics and public affairs Young Whitney rides superbly and his string of “bhunters’” is famous. “Hurri cane,” on which he has had himself photc graphed repeatedly, is his favorite mount for a stiff canter Teeth as an Investment teeth by the of the which John Losekamp of Bill- ings, Mont., enumerates among his big for tune,” said E.
