WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE
PICK OF BUNCH
(By "Captain Foster")
I spent two very interesting hours last Monday watching the now Subs pass their tests by trotting up to about the dis- tance post, then slow cantering back past the winning post. There was a large attendance of Owners seeing the ponies in action and I think the most im pressive mover was No. 98, a 'Bay, which was later drawn by. the Mackio and Grayburn stable. This animal can tainly shift but time alone can furnish us with the answer whether he can go a distance.

the saddled up, and I feel that majority of Subscribers should be pleased with their "draw". I had expected to see a certain amount of Jack-jumping display but in this I was disappointed, the ponies be having quietly as a whole. In this connection the trainers should be pleased as it is not altogether a joy to have to handle refractory animala!
