 any other kind of shoe. To describe each colt's 

 shoes accurately a description and cut would have

It will be noticed that certain trainers seem to 

 prefer certain shoes. Thus Walter R. Cox used 

 plain shoes in front on Lady Wanetka andj Peter 

 Johnston. Thomas W. Murphy used a bar shoe 

 with heel calks on Peter Volo, Barbara Overton 

 and ;Sweet Spirit. Ed. Fj Geers used a plain

 and the latter a pacer. Many other similar com- 

 parisons might be drawn.
