The -Hidira1 Ss0b1e,


With the close Of the Hartford meeting,
came 10 az end The most important trot-
ting circuit OF the season, consisting Of
eight meetings and commencing with Chi
cago. The meetings have been productive
of good sport. have attracted large crowds
the contests have as a rule been fairly con
duoted, and prompt, intelligent and fair
judgment has emanated from the judges
stand. The circuit this year has possessed
moro interest than ever before TO the peo-
ple OF this section, from the fact that rep
rcsentatives of Commodore Kittson's sta
Bic took part in many Of the more impor-
tant contests; and i is gratifying to know
ehat,wliie The stable has not been as success
IN as was hoped for it at the commence
1-el-t 0f the season. comfortable balance
was left 70 The credit account after ell ex-
peuses were PAID. The successes Of the
stable were Won Arnim, Fanny Wither-
Spoon, Minnie r. and Gem. OF these
Gem has done the most work, starting at
every meeting, getting a COED piece Of the
money IL every race bvt one. and reducing
/ her record from 2:2O to 2:15, and improv-
iny With every race. Won Arnin, Fanny
Nithersp poon and Minnie r. won FIVE first
moneys, fosr second ard two third mon
efs. also reducing tbeir records.

nothing Of her old time speed. her match
with Monroe Chief st minneapolis Thurs
day. as a substitute for Won Arnim, beinf
by far The best race she has trotted this
year. She has now been let up for the
balance OF the year. Lady Rolfe was show
/ ing up III fine form when she had the mis-
fortune to strike a leg in exercise at Cleve-
land, laming her. At Rochester she had
so far recovered it was decided to start
her. For the first heat she went away from
her field easily. leading them by one hun
dred yards 20 the half in l 06, but was sec
ond at the finish, very lame. and only got
fourth place in the race. She has not
been started since and will now be turned
out. She was bred III the spring to Black
wood, Jr., and it is hoped is IN foal. Lit
tie Brown Jug has also been turned out for
the balance Of the season. His perform
ances have not only been disappointing
but extremely aggravating, as in quarters
and halls, ne has shown greater speed than
ever before, but it has been impossible to
keep him going mile. Some of the best
reinsmen IN the country have experiment
ed with him, but at some point III the mile
he would break and go all to pieces. Mr.
| Woolmansee is satisfied he is sore, but
where the trouble is located he cannot de-
eide, but thinks it a foot.
The only remaining engagements of the
stable after the $4,000 race at Beacon
Park, Boston, in which Fanny Wither-
spoon is engaged, are at Chicago and Gin
cinnati. where Won Arnim is entered for
the free-for-all stations, Gem in the free
for-all PAGERS, W.itherspoon in the PIT
and Silverton in the 2:21 class. Minnie R
viii be left at Midway, she being in the
same class with Witherspoon. Gem will
meet all her opponents of the big circuit
while four new candidates have been en-
tered in Sweetzer, Bessie NJ, Charles 81
and Bowers. Witherspoon will have to
try conclusions with Rosa Wilkes, Adele
Gould, Deck Wright, Bliss and j. B
Thomas. Silverton gets into fast compa
ny with Matte Graham, Fannie Robinson
and other good ones. But the best race
ought to be the free-for-all stations. il
which Won Arnim will again meet Monroe
Chief, the black stallion Alexander, Hard
wood and J. B. Thomas. These horses IL
condition. with good day and track, anC
the race will BE a memorable Cne. 1t may
be statsd that Won Arnim is rapidly re
covering from the seYore Chill he had OF
the trip from Hartford to Chicago, anl
