Reynard, who has been in training at
Louisville promises to be one of the sensa-
tional troters of the season. He was bred in
Michigan, and about year ago was pur-
chased out of a grocer's delivery wagon. By
fall he could cover a mile in go, but this
spring he could make the distance easily in
2:25. He is by Louis Napoleon, sire of Je-
| rome Eddy, and an offer of So 900 has been
refused for him.
Mr.. W. J. Gordon, of Cleveland, desires to
have it understood that he will trot Cling
stone against any single horse not even ex-
ceptlng Maud s. or st. Julien, but that he
will not match him with more than one
horse; that Hickok's statement that he de-
sired to trot st. Julien against Clingstone
but that Mr.. Gordon was not willing is made
without any authority. Clingstone was
hitched to a sulky last Saturday for the first
time this year, and went mile in 2:54 the
last quarter in forty seconds.

Tom. Talb" in the New York World,
tells the following very interesting story on
Vanderbilt: II have often wondered at never
seeing Mr.. Vanderbilt or any of his clique
speeding their trotters on the Gentlemens
Driving Association track, of which they are
all members but always met them flying
over the road above Judge Smiths and it
was only the other day happened to notice
two little posts on the roadside mile apart,
painted red and when l asked prominent
horseman what they meant | was told that
ever since Frank Works double team, Ed
ward and Dick Swiveller, made their wonder
full record at the driving park of 2I6M
which performance was commemorated by
a large board nailed in a conspicuous place,
on which was painted the names of the
horses, date, and record, Mr.. Vanderbilt has
not put in an appearance, as he objects to
being confronted by the record of team
that his horses, Aldine and Early Rose, can't
cut down or even equal Now there is some
talk of chronicling in similar way the per-
torrance of Mr.. Bonner's horse, Picard and
this will, l suppose, have the effect of keep
ing away owners of horses who can't beat
his time, so that in short time, if this is
allowed to go on, two or three gentlemen
will have the track entirely to themselves,
and then, having resolved themselves into a
mutual admiration society, what records can
be NADER Hartford will have no chance"
