"Am I scared? Yeah, I'm still scared," he said on his way from his home in Chicago to St. Louis to work as part of the broadcast crew for NBC Sports Network's televised National Hockey League game between the Blues and Detroit Red Wings Wednesday night. "I don't know what that scan is going to say, but all I can do is listen to my doctors and trust them that what they told me back in August is going to be the same thing they tell me in April," he added. "They're going to let my body get back to some normalcy [before doing the scan], but just to be five days away from my last treatment I feel a sense of relief and achievement. I don't feel great, but I feel better because I know I don't have to go back in there next Monday and do it all over again.

It is the object of the ensuing Work, to unite with the utiHty of description, the most finished eleg-ance of the graphic art. To pourtray the noblest and most beau- tiful of all animals, in his natural and improved form, in order to aid the comprehension and judgment of the reader, by an address to the eye, as well as to the under- standing. To blend both useful and ornamental decora- tion with solid instruction, and with such a degree of amusement, as may result from anecdotes connected with the subject. With respect to arrangement, a cursory, yet it is hoped, satisfactory view, is given of the Horses and Horsemanship of the earliest ages, and of this country especially, with an attention to the various species in use, and a delineation of the origin of the Race Horse, through the blood of which, the English breed has been generally ameliorated and elevated to its present state of perfection.

"' Thormanby " has produced a work that will be welcome not only to the sportsman, but to that far larger class, the general reader also. There is a freshness and a vigour of style, a wealth of anecdote, both new and old, a clear conception of the points of usefulness which it is intended to bring out, and a charm in the whole arrangement. It is really an anecdotal history of the horse and its achievements, inclining rather to the sporting side, it is true, but still complete enough to make the work a standard one Facts either of history or of character are fixed in the mind by means of pertinent anecdote, and it is characteristic of the work that in every case the anecdotes have been selected in order to convey such a lesson, and not merely for the purpose of telling a good story On the whole, it may be said of the work that every page is pleasant reading ; and when the work is finished, it will be laid down with a feeling of regret that there is not more of it.'
