Miscellaneous.

Edward and Dick SWiveller, the team
that many years age made record of
2:164, which at the time was the best
mark at that way of going. are still
driven on the road by Frank Work, and,
although they are well along in years,
they look in the best of fettle. Mr..
Work has provided that, in case he dies
before his horses do, they shall never
have harness put on them, the pro-
vision being made that they are to be
taken to farm and well cared for un-
til death shall come. This is much
better plan than that followed by w. H.
Vanderbilt, who allowed his horses to
be sold for whatever they would bring
after their days for serving him were
past. Small Hopes, that drew the
millionaire over the Fleetwood Park
track in 2:23 when hitched with Lady
Mac, drifted away from the Vanderbilt
ownership after he was bunged up, and
little later was sold at auction for $500.
Among the horses owned by Mr.. Work
are pair of Electioneer mares, WinOna
and Wamba,, that can now beat 2:3O,
and it is likely that before the close of
the present season they will be added
to the 2:30 list of their sire-Breeders'
Gazette.

doing well. Of course, he is too heshy
at present to show much speed, still it
is reported that he can show an eighth
OF mile in 16 seconds any day in the
week. Fuller, who has him in training,
is very patient with him. and knows
him better than auy one else. He hoEcs
to have him ready for a trial of speed in
October. 1t is said that Patrons colts
are very superior-looking.
Ernest Maltravers, the Happy Medium
gelding that won the Clay stakes a
couple of years ago, is in training in
Philadelphia, and report says he can
beat 2:2O. At the time of his stake
victory Ernest Maltravers was good for
a mile in about 2:24, but he could not
beat those figures, and it was not until
few weeks ago that he showed the
ability to do so.
