The D. mocrats were aware at the
outset that no tariff reform was possible

chiefly in this, that 1t has brought the

The position of each is now clearly de-

stated. The Democrats favor re-

ITEMS FOR HoRsEMEN.
Something About Great Trio Near
Home

In the turf contests in this state this sea-
son the horses which have, perhaps, been
watched with the most interest by Cumber-
land County horsemen, are Mr.. Snelps Jack
Spratt Of Deering; Gilbert Fowler's Gen.
Stark of this city and w. ID. Ramsdelps
Winthrop Pilot of Deering. Not only by
horsemen of this vicinity is this really great
trio admired. but whenever these trotters
have been shown and wherever they have
contested a race they have made friends who
reasonably anticipate brilliant future for
them. OF the three Mr.. Snell's gelding is
the favorlte of the majority of horse admir-
ing people Of Cumberland County, and he
has justly won this place in the estimation
of the public. From the time when Jack
Spratt started with Aubine at Bangor to the
free for all race at the Saco driving park he
proved in every race to be great trotter.
At Lewiston during the State fair he trotted
mile in 1928, winning the race from Aubine
in three straight heats at Gorham he trotted
the last heat in the free for all in 2.24, win
ming the race, also, in three consecutive
heats, and at Saco, on very slow track, he
trotted in 226. These heats were trotted
very easily, and there was speed to spare.
Ira Woodbury., his driver, held him in on the
home stretch at Gorham, when Spratt
trotted in 2.2l and it is believed that he
could have shown mile in 2.20 that day.
Aubine trotted parts of the first two heats at
Gorham at faster clip than Spratt showed
during the race, and this led some to believe
that the mare is capable Of beating the geld
ing BY others who claim to know, it Is said
that Aubine cannot maintain throughout
the race the marvellous clip which she some
times shows. In other words she is not the
"stayer' that Jack Spratt is. Which is the
fastest horse yet remains to be decided
either, under favorable circumstances, 1t is
thought can trot in 2.2O or better, but how
much faster, time alone can tell. Jack
Spratt has won 81, 500 for his owner this wear
and in no instance has he greatly exerted him
self to win race. He will now be trotted
II suitable arrangements can be perfected, to
beat the fastest time ever made In Maine
Although it has been said that Mr. Smell
Will not enter his horse in a race after this
season, 1t is.probable he will be trotted at
least one more year The writer saw Jack
Spratt this week, and the great horse is
apparently in as good condition as when he
began the season.
Mr.. Ramsdell was called upon and he was
very willing to show his stallion. Concern
