of trotters and PAGERS belonging to one

park yesterday afternoon, when eleven
horses, whose actual cash value is more
than 100000, were displayed on the quar-
ter stretch, all being the property of Com.
N. w. Kittson of St. Paul. The horses
were paraded in front of the Judges
stand one at time, and their records and
pedigrees announced by Mr.. w. H. Wilson
of Cynthiana, Ky. The first to appear was

of 2I1I is the best, and who has
to his credit the fastest three
consecutive heats ever trotted or paced

her record of 2:19 in the first heat.
Won Arnim, fine looking bay stallion by
Sentinel, with a record of 2:1915
was also shown. He has lost but one race
this season and is capable of lowering his
present record whenever called upon to do
so. Then came Blackwood, Jr., the
iron horse of Tennessee" whose Won
derful succession of victories as
four and fve-year-old are still fresh Ill
the minds of horsemen. He is one of the
handsomest horses ever seen and his record
of 1929 was obtained as a fve-year-old
Lady Rolf, record 2:2211s, is one of the
speediest animals on the turf and at the
time of her purchase by Mr.. Kittson trot
ted half mile in Los. She is by Ton
Rolf, the great sire of PAGERS. A beauti
fully formed white mare with an intelh

fastest mud trotter in the world. Pilgrim, {

frequently trotted miles better that 1926
Spotswood, by Blackwood, Jr., was thu
last horse exhibited. He is a three-year
old and full brother to Ravenswood, wht
has four-year-old record of 2:26. The ex
tensive manner in which Commodore Kilt
son has entered into the breeding O
trotters and runners is too we'll known t.
now mention here. The trotting and pac
ing horses are kept at the stock farm
known as Midway Park st. Paul, and The
entire establishment is presided over ant
managed by Mr.. Woodmansee, to who's
: Judgment and care the entire stable o
trotters and PAGERS is confded, and NJ
higher compliment could be paid the gen
tleman than the fact there has never beer
even suspicion that the horses belongin!
to the Kittson string were not driven t.
win every race in which they started.
