Coburn is said to be a vastly improved youth since he departed these shores last spring. His work in the saddle has caused the critics to say many kind things about him. Carruthers & Shialds are on deck with a big stable of bread-winners, head- ed by the iron three-year-old Advance Guard. Jack Martin, the eighty-pounder, will do most of the riding.
