The trotting at Cleveland this season is cal.
culated to furnish some very satisfactory
indications of the progress made in breeding
the trotter. Taking all the races, including
the 2:3S class, the average time Of the twenty.

The average Of the eleven pacing heats is less

week the chestnut stallion Almont Bow. bv

Arrangements have been made for trottipg
race between Jay Eye See, of Racine, and Phil.
Thompson of Kentucky, for a purse of &c..

Eye See. Phil. Thompson astorished the
world last year at Chicago when in his three
year old form he trotted a heat in 2:2l4. Dur.
ing last winter Mr.. Sanford, OF CAL
ifornia, challenged his owner to a
trial of.speed to take place this summer The
challenge was declined with the promise that
owner would meet Mr. Sanford. With the
spring came card from Mr.. Chas. H. Ray
mond that he was ready to meet Mr.. Sanford.
The latter has not responded. At Chicago
Phil Thompson did not show up to good ad-
vantage, and disappointed his friends. Still
his owner has as much confidence in him as
ever. He is very fast animal, and the race
will cause unusual excitement. 1t is said the
Racine colt will make it necessary for Thomp-
son to trot three heats inside of 2:2O to take
the money.
1t now transpires that the purchase of the
four-year old bay mare Bronze, by Morgan
Messenger-one of the star performers in the
race for four-year-ol Odds and under at the
recent Chicago meeting-though In the name
OF ID. ID. Mckinney, of GAINESVILLE, Wis.,, was

the owner of y-Eye-See, another of the star
performers on that occasion. Bronze, as it
will be remembered trotted two heats in 225H
and 2.261S, and Jay-Eye-See in 1929 and

H., in 2:32, 2;3116, she was purchased by J.

next three heats and the race to the horse

Another race has been arranged at Sioux
City between Bob Kneeb's stallion Elmwood
Chief and John Fishers mare New Ham pton
Girl. The match is for $500 side, mile
heats, best three in five. The race between
these horses few weeks ago for $4,000 side,
won by Eimwood Chief, and upon which
there was some $4,000 staked in side bets,
has caused some bad blood, the owners of the
mare charging that she was tempered with.
The challenger in the present case was Fisher,
owner of the mare. In accepting Kneeb
regrets that the stake is not for larger sum,
and. commenting upon the charge as above,
says: am tired of trotting against 'doped'
horses. This cry has been periodically raised,
and aside from being too much like baby talk,
III has a had pftapt nuteIdQ lpcdur hnrccpo,,
to believe that their horses are not safe on
Sioux City track. hope you will exercise
due caution this time and see that the Girl is
not tempered with, for am really anxious to
trot against live horse If you and your
friends would make this match for 81, 900 you
could afford to watch your pet so close that
there would be no chance to dope her.
Yours for the race -
