! place. In an interview with Mr. ID. Jarvis
| we were surprised to learn of the years of
experience he has had with fast horses
and different horsemen of prominence. He
can go back to the days OF Hiram Wood
| drulf, having worked for him for four years
and cared for such old timers rs Flora
! Temple, the first to beat 220, Lady Snf-
| folk, Dutchman, Lantern and Princess. All
of these were the most prominent in their
day, and the Union course Long Island, sec
ond to none. Johnny Murphy was a boy there
at the same time and taking his first lessons
! in the saddle. On leaving Hiram he went to
| Montreal where he started business for himself
and trained 20 years. He brought out the
renowned team Farmer Boy and Drummer
/ Boy, giving them n record single Of 2:214
and 2:30, took them to New York and on
| showing them mile one morning over old
Fleetwood track in 2:26i double, sold them
on the spot to a Mr.. Baker of Newark, y.
j. They were kept in New York and for a
. long time were boss Of the road. He bought
lIotspur with a record of 2:2l1 and lower
ing it to 222 in fifth heat, drove in an
eight heat race at Ottawa where there was
upward of SIG, 600 in the pool box against
such horses as Charlie Mac, Dick Wright and
Lew Ives. Heowned, trained and drove City
| Boy 2:201 and Montreal Girl 2:214 devel
oped the chestnut gelding Sir Roger and
drove him great race in Cleveland against
Beauregard and was only beaten a neck the
fifth heat in 2:2Oj.
Since being in Burlington he drove Son
cite a mile over Howard Park in 1921 and
took the first prize with the same as a gen
tlcman's driver at Rutland. He also at the
same place won the the Clay stakes with the
brown geldinJ Hamn.

running out during the summer, but could
show three minute gait; she has been four
times on tie ice this winter and has shown a
quarter in 30 seconds 220 gait This
mare is good locker, quiet sensible and
good gated, and if she remains in Mr.. Jar
vis's hands should enter the charmed circle
of 2:3J the coming season. This is Il good
showing for one that compares favorably
with some of the best trainers in the coun-
try and shows that Burlington is surely in
the ranks.
