the gallery. One was Peter Scott, the largest money 

 winning trotter up to that time. The other was 

 Directum I., the world's record pacer in the open. 



At that time it looked as if there were no more 

 worlds left for Murphy to conquer. Still in 1916 he 

 brought out The Real Lady and reduced the two 

 and three-year-old records of Peter Volo. She has 

 a place of honor over the piano on which Murphy 

 was drumming out a snatch from an opera while 

 I was looking at the paintings. 



These are, however, only a few of the performers 

 that decorate the walls of Murphy's home. At every 

 turn some celebrity which he has driven peeped out 

 from a frame, many of them being snapshots in 

 action. On the porch near a door George Gano, 

 winner of the Chamber of Commerce, is looking over 

 his driver's shoulder while Baroness Virginia, his 

 first Kentucky Futurity winner, was assigned a 

 place near Innerguard, Don Derby, Leland Onward, 

 Copa de Oro, the sire of Oro Fino, Pan Michael, one 

 of Dr. McCoy's products, the old standby Brace 

 Girdle, and Locanda slipping through at the pole 

 at Lexington when he defeated Nathan Straus in 

 2:02.
