The Christening

“ A NYBODY knows," says Hoar
Ing Boggle, “that a horse’s
name Is very Important. Here yon
have a two-yeur-ohl gelding which
has all the points and Is very beau
tiful Indeed. Why then are you
asking me does he never win? And
the answer I am giving you again
Is that his name Is N. G."
“I have to agree,” I says, "that
there don’t seem to be no sense to
Ids monniker.”
"And besides, what does it
mean?" asks Harry the 1‘lnhead,
who seeing as how he delivered gro
ceries at Notre Dame once Is there
fore supposed to be n very educated
guy.
“Why,’’ I says, ”1 suppose bis
name, Laekadnlsy, means that he
flon’t care for daisies."
“You nre a sap, Harry then
says to me, which because be is ray
very good friend I have to take It.
^Lackadals.v Is a high-class word
which means that this hide simply
does not care whether he wins a
race or not."
“Well, so no wonder," says Mud
der McMork. “that he Is always In
sisting on coming In last."
The finale of this discussion ta
that we fold up our tent at Sara
toga and moves down to Havre de
Grace, taking with us our one aud
obly hide, this Lackndalsy, who has
lost eight races out of eight starts.
That being, as Madder said, what
you can call a perfect record.
The first thing I do when we get
to Maryland Is to ship onr horse
out to a fnrm for a week’s rest.
The first thing Harry does, as usual,
is to see If there Is any easy money
around. While the first thing Mud
der McMork does, also as nsual, is
to find him a pretty Indy.
Harry the IMnhead and I have
no time for snch goings on, me
being married and him being too
crnzy about the horses, so we dope
out a new name for our nag Lack
adnisy. We decide on cnlllng him
Good Fortune, which moniker we
feel ought to be n help. Then we
goes over the progrnnw to And a
good spot to enter him where he
will not find It too difficult to win.
With a new nnme, a different
track and a week's rest, we nre con
fident that we cannot lose. So
when everything is settled, I give
out the final Instructions.
“Harry,” I Rays, "you will beat
It up to New York at once and
scare up ns much coin aa you can
and wire It t& me here at the track.
Mudder, you will place the beta
at the best odds you can get. And
I will sit up In the stand and
watch to see that the horses do not
cheat."
"What about the christening?"
Mudder asks. 1
“That is the most Important
part,” I reply, while I go to my
trunk and take out a bottle “This
here Is Mortailt 1004 which I been
saving for an tinpnrinnt occasion
like this. Christened with such
ohnmpngne and with a lncky name,
our bangtail will surely win."
“Without a doubt," Mudder agrees,
smiling wide at his latest flame, she
being an admiral's daughter.
“Now,” I says, turning to the girl,
"we need a very beautiful lady to
christen our horse nnd we should be
Indeed much pleased If you will do
this honor."
So that Is how It Is arranged.
Harry goes to New York nnd Mud
der runs around placing our money
ns fast ns I got It, while the morn
ing of the rnce the admiral’s daugh
ter goes out to the farm with the
bottle of Morlant to christen our
entry just before the swipes bring
him to the track.
We bet altogether about five
grand at around 12 to 1 before the
post parade. Then Mudder conies
up to one of our seals In the stand
and Just when the hides are strain
ing at the harrier the admiral’s
daughter Joins ns. Mudder and I
are very nervous, even though we
know we have a sure thing.
It Is a very exciting race and
one horse comes In first, ns It is
to he expected, hut strange to re
late, It is not our bangtail. He, In
fact, lackadalsie's home to the wire
In the ninth position, which is the
same as last.
‘‘I cannot understand,” 1 say when
the funeral Is over, “how It Is
that our hide do not win. We get
him in perfect condition, we bring
him to a good track, and we chris
ten him Good Fortune, which name
there Is none bettor."
“But," says the admiral's dangh
!er, whose eyes now look very sad
ndeed, "I did not christen your
horse this morning."
“What!" Mudder explodes. “You
mean to say that yon did not
change his name? And for why
not?"
“I was afraid,” says the dame.
“Why, how could you be afraid,"
I asks, “to take a few drops of
champagne and sprinkle it over
our bangtail?”
“Oh!” the daughter of the ad
miral exclaims with much surprise.
“I thought you christened him like
you do a battleship and I just
couldn’t bear to break a bottle
over the poor, dear horse’s nose!"
