KENTUCKY’S BEST COLT STRANGLED TO DEATH

Monastir, Kenneth D. Alexander’s colt by Broomstick-Star-ry Night, which died at Douglas park of strangulation following an attack of distemper, was one of the most highly regarded two-year-olds in Kentucky. Mr. Alexander is serving with an ambulance corps in France and was notified by cable of his colt’s demise. Monastir, one of the best bred of this year’s list of youngsters, was said to have worked out in faster time than any two-year-old in the state, and was valued at ¥20,000.
