Guy, the famous trotter owned by W.
j. Gordon, of observation-disclosures be-
cause he can trOt in 2:15 and has never
been able to win a race-is to be given
another chance this year, and has been
trOit programme. The last attempt to
make some use of Guys speed was in
1856, when Splan had charge of the
Gordon stable. The plan attempted at
that time was to try to make Guy steady
by giving him excessive work, and con-
Sequently he was driven forty or fifty
miles a day, but all to no purpose, as
after acting pretty well in the first heat
of his Detroit race he began his 0id-time
tantrumS, and was diStanced in the sec
Ond heat. Tom Dunbar is the only man
