in the race. The nominating fee is $500 for
starter will be $3.50. The eighteen subscrip-

old colts and fillies will post on the day of the
race. swelling the pool to $4,000. The race
will be run over the track belonging to the
association offering the largest amount of
added money. If the successful jockey club
offers but $1,000, which is small amount
for such an attraction as this contest will be,
the race Will Sbe worth SOL 800 to the winner

mont Morgan. He is Agar old bay, with
four white ankles and stripe in face, full 16
hands, good carried head, splendid body and
limbs and strongly defined trotting parts.
Mr.. Marrett is very confident he will make a
low down trotter, an opinion sustained by his
breeding and general conformation.
3. Our fellow townsman, Mr..G. A. B. Shave,
still retains his interest in the trotter, and is
the owner of several well bred animals.
Among the number is Memory, a bright bay
stallion three years old, sire Gift. got by Hero
of Thorndale, son of Thorndale; dam Zephyr,
by swigert, dam by Richards
Bellfounder. Gift is vel made and very
colt. He also has brown mare by
Revenge, son of Volunteer, dam by Abdallah. |
Dahlnie, black mare, by Griswold's son of
American Star; dam, a thoroughbred; con-
verted PAGER and very fast at either way of
going. She has colt by her side foaled last |
fall, by Memory, of whom Mr.. Shave expects |
great things in the future. Another
mare is Moss Rose, full sister
to Zephyr. This mare is at White |
water, Wis, where she is being tracked, and
showing fine turn of speed.
