Quite frequently when they were rushed she was kept uatil 6.30, 7 and even 7.0. The assistant manager told her once that he hated to ask Miss Bentley to stay. "You see, it's this way," he said.

Forly vears ago the name Lady Kate was as well Inown to lhe matives of Ontario as the foremost politicians The racing game was far more of an insti tation then, than it is to-day. Belle: vill, Kingston and every town or city that professed to be in it at all held their annual racing meets. The crowds that at ld tnese events, and the | purs.s given, so large as to be ehnost beyond the bounds of belief at thy present time. fn th: United States, too, the racing game was then at its height.

She was as honest as the day is long, and could (rot faster than she could rum, To Capt. Power she brought in a con stant stream of winnings that made him the envied of all horse owners. One American offered him $20000 in cash after he had witnessed her per- formance in a race. This was a tre mendously high price for that period, but Uapt. Power turned it down with- out hesitation. After she had seen her best daye on the racing track she was finally sold to Robert Bonner, a multi millionaire of New York, for $5000. Mr. Bonner had a fad for collecting one-time champions of the tar. It will be re Snlled- that he later purchased Maud 8., who was in turn the wost famous trotier of her day, and for which Wil liam K. Vanderbilt. refused an offer of $100,000 when she was at her best. The record established by Lady Kate was 2.18. This was with the old-fash- ioned high sulkey, and upon a half- mile track, which was the regular thing in those daye. Had she been equiped with the modern low rubber- tired sulkey, and been permitted to try for a record on the mile track with the turn, it is probable that she w have a test not far from the 'wo-minute mark. All these little deviovs mean seconds olip- ped off the time in which it takes to travel a mile. Lady Kate was finally sold to Mr. Boonir, Capt.
