"Volunteer" writes as follows in the Horsi Review. of last week: I have more than once remarked on the ill-luck that seems to follow the family of Palo Alto with such re- markable The latest instance of this is the death, a week or two ago, of the young mare Carrie Caswell by Altivo 2:18}, the prematurely dead brother of Palo Alto. In the spring of 1899 Superin- tendent Covey, of Palo Alto Farm, brought this filly, and Juntorio, also by Altivo, east to the Cleveland auction.
