An Interesting Meeting Promised
The trotting meeting announced TO take
place next month over the Nashville Driv-
ing Course promises to be one ofthe mosi
interesting ever held In this place. Al
ready there are alarge number OF horses In
training at the course, besides two stables
at Gallatin, one at Bowling Green, and the
horses from John Ogerton's stables in this
county yet to come ia. We visited the
course yesterday, took look. through. the
respective stables, which we found TO be in
most excellent order, and interviewed the
different contestants which are now in
readiness for the approaching contest.
Fuller, the well known trainer, is up to
bis eyes 10 business, having large string
under bis immediate care and protec-
ton. In his stable we fad Brownies
Josephine, q beautiful bay, years old
this spring, and looking as fine as highly
polished mahogany. She handles well, and
we understand will make better record
than at any previous meeting. -,
al. Rutland has mare years old, sor-
rel, with blaze face, which is without re-
cord, but promises to surprise the boys
when she starts out. -
John Gray's bay eelding, Charley, is look
ing etter than we have ever seen him, and
promises good work the coming meeting.
II he don't mark away down in The thirties,
We are no judge Of horse flesh. "a.
Lizzie B., the property Of one of our cit
liens who has The reputation Of being the
best amateur handler of the reins in these
parts, is also in Fuller's stables, aud looking
remarkably well. She is bay mare, &
years old, bred at Hopkinsvi'le, KY, and
bids fair to be No. trotter. She has
never made record, but look out for bust
ness when she starts out in the Green
Stake. 1911 .-
In The adjoining stall is the bay mare,

mare, Hattie Brown, 6years old. She is an
honest trotter; and possesses that sort ofreso
luton which Is q very necessary requisite
in trotter. There is also Gus Browns

Ole Of the handsomest specimens of
horse flesh we noticed was A. II. Robert
sons Della, now eight years old, bright
bay, and comes about as near initiating q
sure enough trotter as anything we have
seen lately. Look out for that animal
when she goes.
Towles & Cheatham's Lagoneer,a cherry
bay, by Lumber, out of Pilot mare, never
looked 30 well as now, and never showed
as much speed. They do say that it viii
