L, by Harold. Aug. 25 she trotted the
track at the Lexington fair grounds in
2:2215, the first half being done in LOG.
This is great mile for three-year-old,
and will add to Harold'S reputation.
Another trOtter of the same age that is
faster than ever this season is Bell Boy,
that made mark of 20 last year, and
was sold at auction for $50, 900 not long
ago. Bell Boy was brought to Wash
ingtOn Park about ten days ago, and
one morning, as he was taking his regular
work, Budd DOble let him move through
the stretch, the best quarter being trotted
in So seconds, and those who know
Doble are well aware that he never lets
a horse go as well as he can in his work.
On the same day Budd sent the PAGER
Johnston along. and he went the route
in 2:10, which is the best mile he has
done this season, and to show that he
was within himself all the time it may
be said that he paced last quarter in 80
seconds.
The PAGER Bessemer, that made such
fine race at Cleveland, has never been
what might be called an angel in har-
ness, or out of it. He is what is termed
eight behind" so much so that broad
strap of fair tensile strength repOSeS
across his hips when he is hooked up.
By some means he got his hind quarters
out of Inc while one of young Patter-
sons rubbers was giving him his work,
ard presto! "SwipeS" went out of the
sulky. The boy caught BeSSemer by
the head, and that speedy animal pro-
ceeded to demOraliZe the vehicle. In
the struggle the boy received several
severe kicks. The sull1y was generally
wrecked and BeSsemer well cut about
the hooks. He is entered in the msur-
ance stake for 2:20 PAGERS, at Hartford,
but it is a question whether he will be
fit to start.
Breeders Gazette: Patron will GER
tainly be driven to beat the stallion rec
ord this fall unless something unfOre-
seen occurs to prevent. Ever since his
work in the stud was finished the son of
Pancoast has been given steady work at
the Cleveland track. AT first the speed
ing was limited to an eighth of mile,
but now that the fat is beginning to dis
appear Fuller lets the stallion go full
mile at a good rate, and not long ago he
was given mile and repeat in 2:20,
2:l9. Now that the California stallion
STEAMBOAT has done mile in a race in
2:I5 there will doubtless be an effort
made to give him still faster mark,
and it is possible that both he and Pat
ron will beat the 2:1S114 of MaXey Cobb
before the snow flies.
n On the Sth and 18th of October next
number of the fastest and best stations
will struggle for the supremacy at Lex
ingtOn at the meeting of the Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders association.
In the 2:21 class are Gen.WilkeS, Hart
ford. King AlmOnt, Joe Young, Sphinx
and James q. In the 2 :25 claSwiIl be Ken
lucky HambletOnian Chichester, Hinder
Wilkes, Baron Wilkes, Frank Buford,
Lord Nelson, Ben Hur, CRANKY, Sham
rock. Hamdallah, Sunrise Patchen,
Principe and CRANKY. In the $50 class
twenty horses are entered.
FOrty-nine stations have made re-
cords of 2:20 or better, the ones to drop
into the list this year being Brown,
2:lS%; Pennant, 2:19$4; JunemOnt.
2:1S1; Frank Buford, 2:2O, and James
G. 2:2O. And yet to Old-timers on the
turf it does not seem so long ago since
the first stallion to trot in 2:20-Mam-
brine Gift-performed that feat.
Edward l., a son of Blue Bull. has
! lust entered the 2:30 list, making a
record of 1865, and it is likely that he
will be the last of the get of the famous
Indiana PAGER to perform the feat, the
stallion having been dead good
many years. 1t was thought last year
that all of the Blue Bulls that had any
| show to get into the 2:30 list were there,
but Edward L fooled the prophets.
Tom Wonder, the gray pacing stall
lion, sire of John w. Conley, 1924;
| Modesty, $685.; John Stewart, 2:30,
and Little Wonder, $50, is reported to
! have died recently at East Aurora, n.
Y. Tom Wonder was fOaled 1S4S, sired
! by Tom CrOWder, dam by Saratoga, and
reached the great age of forty years.
The bay stallion VOlmer, 2:241l. was
| purchased by A. A Bonner on Satur-
! day, Aug. %. Volmer was owned by S.
! w. Kittredge, of PeekskilI, and is con-
| sidered a very handsome bay, without
white, 1515 hands, sired by Gambetta
| (son of VOlunteer), dam by RysdYk's
Hambletonian.
Jessie, the daughter of Vernol's
! Black Hawk, that last season, when
fourteen years old, made a record of
1921 and could trot up to it until the
| snow began to fly, has been turned out.
and will be bred to some stallion With a
! fast record.
California is beginning to hold the
records for young PAGERS as welfas baby
trotters, theithree-year-old side-wheeler
Gold Leaf being at the top of the tree
| for PAGERS of her age by her mile in
| 2:20A at the Santa Rosa meeting.
The five-year-old stallion Sunrise
Patchen, was given a record of 2:l9Z
at Utica, being driven to beat 2:25, his
best previous record.
The bay mare Rosalind Wilkes is do
ing splendidly. She will, without doubt,
lower her record of 2:15 this season.
Adelaide, 2:19sl, has bay colt by
