Sensible decision.
Several of the horses entered in the great
Eastern circuit, of which much was ex-
pected, and with reason, have gone wrong,
to the great disappointment of their owners.
Among these is the sensational trotting stall
lion Hannis, who in his first season on the
turf co. record of 2:l9 a in first heat at
Hartford, feat unparalleled in the history
of the turf. Hannis is by Relf's Nam
brine Pilot, dam Lady Stewart, q trot-
ting mare of unknown breeding. He is
20 years old, 1913 hands. and weighs about
500 pounds in condition. He was bought
last spring by Mr.. D. Logan, of Baltimore,
and by him placed in the hands OF John

started at Cleveland, but was not himself,

The chestnut mare Wampoline, by
Tramp, whose turf performances have given
her fist rank in public estimation, is not

srotted but once, at Cleveland, where she
took third money.
A number of other horses entered through

The grand circuit is developing several
trotting wonders. Among them is the bay
gelding, named after the great dead actor,
Edwin Forrest. Edwin Forrest is large
