Having safely deposited Mrs. Danby in the 

 Grand Stand, the three men descended to the 

 saddling paddock to take stock of the com- 

 petitors for the first race. One of the first 

 people they met was Mr. Howlett, the owner of 

 Ontario, the marvellous high jumper, and to

' I have been hearing all about your won- 

 derful jumper,' said Reginald Miller ; ' I should 

 much like to see him.' 



' That you can easily do,' said his owner, ' as 

 he is at this moment in Washington. I am 

 going to take him on to Baltimore to the show 

 next week. If you gentlemen have nothing 

 better to do, I will drive you back after the 

 races. You can see him, and then dine with 

 me at the Metropolitan Club.'
