;; SIDNEY AND COUNT VALENSIN ;;jj \(P The Man Who Developed Him wM H\V; BY PETER J. SH ELDS Cjffi I think a Christmas edition of your paper would bewholly incomplete without some record of the meritsof the great California sire Sidney, 2:1934, and I think,too, that a reference to the distinguished man who de-veloped him and gave him his reputation would betimely as it is so well deserved.

His selection of Sidney wasno accident, as is frequently the case with the luckyowner
