her side this spring.
Messrs. Sprague and Waite are
breaking a three year old Napoleon
colt for F. M. Shepard, of Owosso
township, that shows as fine gait as
any young horse we have ever seen,
and that is saying a good deal con.
sidering what there Is in training at
present. Ifthis colt does not surprise
some one this fall, then we miss our
guess.

work every morning with the trotters
in his stable. Among the promising

Lovers of fine trotting horses will
be well repaid by visiting the fair
grounds any morning. From early
morning until we'll into the afternoon
the track is being used by some of
our drivers. Monday morning after
having given some of the young horses
some work, Mr.. Fitch brought GU, the
young stallion, Walter Drake, by 10
Gavin, dam Myrtle, a:a2H, by Louis
Napoleon, and after little exercise
sent him his first half mile of the
season, making the quarters in 40
and SO, and the half in I:I6. We
call this fast work and it was done
with the ease of an old trotter with
out skip or break. Next came a
three year old by Napoleon that will
hustle any three wear old in the state
to beat. The interest all centers on
the horse next to come out, Geo.
Milo, full brother 10 Jerome Eddy.
Explanations of delight are heard as
he moves off in his exercise work.

up and then says, edo not expect me
to break your watches this morning.
and starts Milo for his first half
mile of the year and the way he did
it in 1913 was worth while to go TO
the track to see.
