To avoid confus ion let it be known that the young lady, who will winter in Pinehurst, is not related to the Disney heroine. No dwarfs were seen around the race track sta bles in the wee sma’ hours when Snow White and two fellow tra velers arrived. Though of the equine rather than the cinematic family, Snow White would ' grace any screen, for she is a pure white yearling filly and could pass for the orig inal of the horse with the dreamy eyes, having blue orbs that would make a leading lady green with envy. Not only that, but Snow White is really “different,” being the only pure white filly ever foaled in race track history. She is by Hollroad Harkaway. Snow White is one of three yearling fillies who were wel comed to the race "track*-Stables Wednesday. Hal of India, a chestnut filly, and Anna Held, whose pure black coat is in strik ing contrast to Snow White, were her traveling companions. Both fillies are by Hal Dale, and are foaled at Leo McNamara’s Two Gaits Farm near Indianapolis. Hal of India is half-sister to Single Stein, five-year-old mare, who was best race winher of the year from the Pinehurst stables. Though tired and sleepy after their 700 mile ride from Indiana polis, the arrivals seemed well content with their new home. Snow White, being the smallest and most delicate of the three seemed more exhausted than the others, and greeted visitors with a pardonable langour. The three fillies were purchased by Dr. H. M. Parshall at the Indianapolis sale last week. HORTON SMITH HERE TO SHARPEN GAME FOR WINTER TOUR Golf Star and his Wife Play on No. 3 Course; Gives Views on Recent Election of P. G. A.
