Coming down the stretch at t Asricultural Park, his four legs, i which have carried him to so manv victories, working: like well oiled vision roads, Dan Patch (1.50,} the world's premier pacer, brought the large crowd to its u feet when he stepped the final quarter in 31 1-4 seconds, says the 1 Baltimore American. It wa? v Dan's heart, and not his legs, which carried him around those eight furlongs, for when the champion of champions was led to the judge's stand to receive the wreath of flowers which the T.os Angeles Driving Club hung about his glossy neck, he limped badly. UUl U1W1C wan oifiu VL iawv ness when the thfoughbred, whose name is almost a household word, flashed by the quarter, the half, the three-quarters and finally turned into the itretch, the galloping pacemaker having all he coufcTubvto keep abreast of the rapidly moving pacer. The time was not fast. It did not come within 13 seconds of that negotiated by his stable mate, Minor Heir, 1.59 1-4, a few minutes later. But the vast throng of persons recognized the curtain call of a top-notcher, and they responded as an American crowd always does. There was something almost pathetic in the way the horse, perhaps not realizing that he had gone his last mile before an admiring rrnwrl limn^rl tn thp inri ges' stand. What if he did try to nibble the flowers when the wreath was hung about his neck? The laugh which rippled through the crowd only helped to mark Dan's final public appearance with a tinge of sadness. Blanketed and with the wreath still around his neck, the great horse, an animal which money could not buy, was led from the track whereon he had paced his last mile. The grand stand was still echoing witlr applause when the champion had disappeared from view among the stables. WEDDING AT LATTA.
