They say it is aard to teach an old dog new tricks. And it is about as hard to wean a man from some early life attraction. Jasper Wright learned very early to love a good horse. Especially the type that go. And now while the popularity of the racer seems to be decidedly on the wane, it does not daunt Jap’s arder nor interest in the jockey field. And this week Jap recedvetj three fine racers from the blue grass fields ot Old Kentucky, the home of the real racers. Mr. Wright plans to have his horses in all the important races in these parts this fall. He expects to open the season the 4th at Crown Point.
