EDS. COUNTRY GENTLEMAN.--1hc re-
cent trotting meeting at Buffalo has prov
ed, rs was predicted for it, the most bril-
liant and successful ever known in this
country-s50.000 was given in trotting
premiums, and SO numerous were the en-.
tries that several thousand dollars more
was received from this source than the
premiums amounted to, SO that the sur
plus together with the money taken at
the gate, after deducting running expcn.
s.s, was clear gain to the association. A
large number of horses appeared that had
never started in race before, and the
time made by some Of them excels any
thing of the kind ever before known. The
daily papers having given the summaries
Of the trotting, it is unnecessary to repeat
it here, but a glance at the breeding Of
some Of the trotters may not prove unin.
teresting to those your readers interest.
ed in breeding horses.
The 3.minute purse of 81, 900 was won
by western mare, entered by Mr.. Jos.
@. Simpson of Chicago. She is called
Clara G., and proved herself good one
BY winning in three straight heats, in q
30, 1928 1-2, 2.26-the latter heat be-
ing the fastest ever made, up to that
time, by horse in his first race. Will
Mr.. Simpson give us the pedigree Of his
marc ? All we could learn regarding her
was that she was "catch" from a two
year.old colt running at large on the prai.
rie-said colt being a grandson of l.. 1,
Blackhawk, regarded of little account,
and afterwards sold into the army.
The 2.34 purse was won by the oh. G..
Judge Fullerton, the first and second
heats being taken by the blk. g. j.. H..
Burke, from Syracuse, N. Y, time
2.27 "a, 2.29 "a, 2.26 IA, 229, g.
80 IA. The winner, formerly known as
the Ball colt, was bred in Orange Co.,
N. Y, and has long been regarded as a
promising trotter. He is six years old
only, and considering the merits of this
performance, and the ease with which he
won, and the capabilities he showed in a
subsequent race Though defeated), he
may be called one of the best, if not the
very best feather in the cap of his sire,
Major Winfield Edward Everett), for
although his record is not as fast as that
Of Mountain Boy (2.20 3-4), nor more
precocious than that that of the Bogart
colt Joe Elliott, it is quite fast enough
for his age; and this fellow, in addition
to the remarkable speed sometimes shown
BY the Everetts, has given public evidence
Of an ability to stay his heats out, which
would indicate that his dam was a we'll
bred one.
The 2.27 purse of $4,000 was won by
Major Allen, formerly Locust, well known
in the eastern States. lie is by a son OF
Ethan Allen known as the Danville horse

The 2.30 purse, $4,000, was won by

IA, 2.27 "a. Clara G. took fourth
money in this race, being her third race
IN successive days.
The 2.24 purse, $4,000, was expected
to be one Of the finest, from the quality
Of the horses entered, of the meeting, anc
expectation was not disappointed. L
was won in five closely contested heat
by Hotspur, game and fast trotter wei
known to fame. Time, 2.25 ID, 2.25
2.23 "a, 225 IL, 2.25. the first wa
dead heat between Hotspur and Byron
the second was won by Commodore Van
derbilt's b. 6. Myron Perry. The blk

The trotting of the 2.40 purse-s5

that no horse, not even Dexter, ev
showed as much speed for fraction of

hibited in this. He was sold during Il
race to Mr.. Geo. G. Hall of Brookly
N. Y, for 1000, but it is said tn
the real purchaser is Jay Gould, Pre-
dent of the Erie Railroad. Though 5,
ond in the race, Judge Fullerton prov
himself probably the best six-year old
the country, and fought CALAMITY to
end Of each and every heat, creating
more favorable impression Of the lasti
qualities Of the Win6elds than any of
predecessors.
