At Same Hour Dan Patch and Owner Laid to Rest breath these people spoke of the tleness and seemingly human kindness of the great pacer. Dan and his master, said these friends, had the keenest sence of lic approval and strove always to tain it. Keepers, veterinarians and persons who have attended his races and exhibitions told how Dan would stand and look proudly at the crowds before staritng a race, and how, when the race was won, he would trot forard to the grand stand and hold up his head archly until the applause had died away.

Dan Knew His Friends Dan was a horse of telligence, it was pointed out. No mal knew his friends better, no horse had a better knowledge of what was going on. Dan loved a race, but he didn't care about the exhibitions that came when all competitors had been outclassed. Often, so the trainers said, he would have to be scored a half dozen times before he would consent to pace in hibition. He would shake his head crossly then, as if submitting to the inevitable, would at last change the shake to a nod and tug at the thin traces.
