Morrill started into the grand free-for-all as a buckskin broncho gold-bug, with gold-tipped interest-bearing bond harness, without fly-net, back-band or crupper. Blue wanted cartwheel dollars and a padded box stall in the congressional horse-play and sale stable. The state hostling committee saw they were getting too wild, curried them down and docked their tails and now with bead and hind end up they hit the track for a new start.

They fell down the first dash, and while they are being started over, the People's honest horses are half way round the track on the home stretch.

They interfere and over-reach and break and fly the track and crowd each other and run sideways. Their hind wheels don't "parity" and their coupling pole has too much traditionary wabble.
