E. Curtin, of DEBORAH. To-, writes
rs follows concerning Hawkeye colts:
ito see the number of colts working
put over our track here mornings would
lead stranger TO suppose that every
man in DEBORAH had a coming trotter.
Such is hardly the case, but our people
are nevertheless taking great interest
In the sport, and have built a new half
mile track on which to educate the
youngsters. 1t is a good, safe track,
with soft footing, and, being much more
convenient to town, the bulk OF the
training is done there. The credit is
due to J. w. Stiles, who got into little
"scrap," as all horSemen do, with the
owner of the old track, and built this
pne for his own use. Since then the
breach has healed, and Mr.. Stiles
hardly knows to which track he owes
allegiance. He is working the three
year-old Durant, 1867. by Capoul, dam
by Ericsson. second dam by Pilot, Jr.,
and for the work he has had he shows
ND remarkably well. About the best
two-year-old he has, to my notion, is
brown colt by Stiles Abdallah, dam by
King Herod. He is well formed and
good gated and wouldn't be surprised
to see him go quite bit this fall. An
other good horse is Minion, chestnut
by DEBORAH, dam by King Herod. He
is small, but seems to like to trOt, and
the ones that like to are the ones that
usually get there, no matter what their
size is. l. W. Ward is working his four
year-old Athlot, by Athlete, dam by
Corrigan's jackson. second dam by
Pilot, Jr., and says he suits him, and
oats at the pumpkin shows this
fall. Tom Weldon has black
gelding by Wales Volunteer that is
Just getting nicely broken and shows
considerable speed. John Curtin is
working the bay colt Kenosha, 1879, by
Phallas, dam by Mambrino Patchen,
second dam by Gill's Vermont, and the
onlookers seem to think he has the
most speed of any of the two-year-
olds. He is also driving the two-year-
old Abron, by Sentinel Wilkes, dam by
Mambrino Boy, second dam by Nam
brine Royal, big growthy FLY that
will require careful handling till age
has hardened her sufficiently to stand
training She is extra good gated, and
her owner says he is just foolish enough
to think that some day he will have a
pretty good mare. George Mott
by Athlete, dam by Corrigan's
jackson, second dam by Pilot
Jr.. that is owned by r. Fl. Thompson,
and is as pure gated mare as one
would wish to see. She will be bred to
Adrian Wilkes in short time. Then
look out for a flyer. M. c. O'Brien is
working the two-year-old tilly Rena's
Baby, by Wales Volunteer, dam by
Gov. Sprague, second dam by Grey
DIomed. This FLY is natural PAGER,
and at that gait is quite mover. He is
also handling FloSsie, black filly by
Athlete, dam by Wales Volunteer, sec
ond dam by Brignoli, Jr., third dam by
King Herod, THAT he says is as good as
anybody's Athlete. Both are the prop
erty of the Ice Cave stock farm. Tim
year old, by Wales Volunteer, dam
Lady Lghtfoot. The sister to this
one, year older, got cut in barb
wire fence and had to be turned out.
1t was hard luck, as she was a remark
ably well-turned filly, and about the
best Volunteer l have seen. Toby To
biason has been working several colts,
but was thrown from a wagon about a
week ago, and dislOcated his arm so
badly that it will lay him up for several
weeks. A. j. Smith has the fastest
road horse in the town, and the colts all
fight shy of him. while G. W. Burdick
thinks his bay mare by BrownwOod,
dam by Hambletonian Rather, is good
enough to be kept in box stall. Our
fair will be held the second week in
September, and purses will be given for
two, three and four-year-olds. besides
$500 for aged horses. The officers are
trying to make it the best one ever held
here.
