Naming a Hone. Commenting on the curious names often given to racehorses, a writer in a London dally recalled the historic case of Potoooooooo. The Earl of Kg rem on had a horse he intended to r.-ili Potatoes, auU iu going around the st.-i ble one evening he gave the stable b«\ In charge of the horse a piece of chalk and told him to write the name on the com bin. Tbe boy wrote Pot and theu. evidently in some doubt as to the cor rect spelling, finished the word by repeating the letter "o" eight times. This so amused Lord Egremont and bis friends that the horse was so named forthwith.
