horse in the race, winning the whole OF the pnrse
in the fast time of 232, 234 and s3l 10. This
i, considered very fast, being the first race he
ever started in and also considering the time of
year, being very carly in the season for horses to
get in condition to trot so fast 1t is expected this
horse will trot low down in the twenties before
fall. He was raised by James Blanchard of Pitts
