...Grey was in bad trouble. After a brisk nine-furlong workout at Belmont one morning last week, Alfred Gwynne Vanderbilt's Native Dancer (TIME, May 31) pulled up with a sore right forefoot. Trainer Bill Winfrey could feel a suspicious warmth just above the hoof, but X rays showed no internal injury. Two days later, the colt galloped a couple of miles on the training track and snorted home with no sign of pain. Relieved, Winfrey began to step up the Dancer's training, but after a three-furlong breeze, the Big Grey came back in such distress...

This is true despite the fact that-though Actress Tandy makes a winning Mary Doyle-Actor Cronyn lacks the regrettable charm and dash of the Devil...
...have come through the big drop in cattle prices on the hoof and to see the small difference it has made in retail prices still buffaloes me; if the farmer gave the packer the cattle and hauled them in free, how much would the price of retail meat lower? Admittedly the prime and choice steaks will be high- they always have been-but let the Cadillac owners and swank restaurants have them. Your reporter might be surprised to see the towns and stores that don't carry as good a quality as the "good," but at a "good" price...
