When 4 years old she trotted a mile on n
three-quarter track in 2:33. Her first fast
mile was made in 1884, at the grand circuit
meeting in Buffalo, time 2:23A. In 1886 she
won the 2:24 class at East Saginaw IN straight
heats, 2:a1X, 2:22H, 2:1sH. Most horsemen
remember the great five heat race at Cleve-
land, July %, 1887. Belle Hamlin, Manza-
nita, Spofford, Kitefoot, Longfellow, Whip,
Orange Boy and Iowland were the antago-
nists in one of the fercest turf battles on
record Manzanita won the first heat in
2:l6A, second in 2:191, when Belle went to
the front and captured the next three In
2:1sH, 2:10, 2:1SN. She afterwards in the
same year equaled her record of 2:1sL, made
at East Saginaw, twice; at Rochester, Aug.
IA, dead heat with Arab in 2:1sA, race after
wards won by Oliver K and at Cleveland,
Sept 16, in the third heat OF the free for all
trot, which was won by Charley Hilton,
2:17K.
The season of 1887 was a great one for the
famous mare. She won easily all the grand
circuit events for which she entered, reducing
her record to 2:16A. At Cleveland, Sept. 16,
she trotted the mile that made her famous.
1t was to beat her record for a cup, and was
done in 2:l3N, G. J.. Hamlin drove her a
mile to pole with Justina 2:23l0 In Novem-
Der, 1887, to better geo. 1t was done in 2:1S.
Her career of 1855 was begun by a defeat,
when the demon" Clingstone won two heats
out of three. During the year she reduced
the C~hautauqua county trotting record, BPS,
by Robert McGregor, 2:17H, over the Dun
kirk half mile track, to 2:24%, which she
again reduced, July 4, 1889, to 2:22H with
ease. Belle was started during the ~interna-
tional fair at Buffalo, Sept. 10, 1888, to beat
her record of 2:131. 1t was a cold, raw day,
and she did well in doing it in g :15%.

Harry Wilkes, 2,942, Is a bay gelding,
standing about Is hands, foaled 1876, sired
by George Wilkes, 519; dam Molly Walker,
dam of Gen. Garfield, 2:21, and The Item,
1850, by Capt. Walker, PAGER; second dam
by Darnaby's Copperbottom. He was bred
by James M. Hendren, of Speedwel, Madi-
son county, KY, and sold when Q years of
age to w. R. Letcher, of Richmond, Ky.
He made his first appearance as a star per-
former in 1882. He won his three public
races, and obtained a record of 2:234.
In 1888 everything bowed before him in
the grand circuit and he closed the year with
a record of 2:15. In 1884 he had everything
his own way, and in 1885 won several special
events; best time, 2:15H.
He was only defeated twice in 1SS5-at
Detroit by Clingstone in 2:15H and by
Phyllis at st. Louis; best time 2:19A. He Is
credited with having trotted a mile in 2:O9H
in Cleveland, but as it was only an exhibit
ton it did not go on record.
AT Cleveland, July 90, 1886, he defeated
Clemmie G.. and Phyllis in 2:16, 2:149l, 2:15sl.
During the season he was never defeated ex-
cept by Oliver K. at st. Louis, where he was
q good second, in 2:16A, 2:161S, 2:17. In
California that year he trotted against Guy
Wilkes, 2:15A; Antevoi, 2:19L; Charley Hill
ton, 2:1716, and Arab, 2:15.

Hank O'Day, the new New York pitcher,
played his first professional game with the
Bay Cities, of Michigan, in 1888. Dave Foutz,
OF the Brooklyn team, was a member of that
club at that time. The Bay City manage
ment had too many players, and they did not
know who to release, so they put the names
OF their fourteen players in a hat and drew
O'Day's name herefrom. He was their CEN
ter fielder, and led the club in batting at the
time. The Toledo club wanted a on trial,
and ODay said he would go there pitcher,
although he never pitched a game before.
His first game was pitched against the Co
lumbus team, and Toledo won by a score of
4 to 2, which was quite a victory for the lat
ter club, for it was the first game won by a
minor League club from an Association team.
OrDay pitched Toledo into victory, and was
largely responsible for the club winning the
championship of the Northwestern league.
In 1884 Toledo Joined the Association, and he
was again a member Of that team In 1885
he was a member of the Pittsburg club, and
from there ho went to Washington He was
born in Chicago.

In the second heat Harry broke into a wild
run at the start and was twenty lengths be-
hind at the quarter. Finally he squared
away, and by a wondrous burst of speed
trotted the last ~three-quarters at the average
speed of 3216 seconds-a 2:10 gait-and one
quarter in 81 seconds-a 2:04 gait-and won
the heat in 2:16H. The third neat was won
by Guy Wilkes in 2:16A, but Harry won the
fourth and race in 2:15. This was on the
9Th Of November. During that season
Harry Wilkes conquered such noted cam-
p~aigners as Phyllis, 2:l5H; Clemmie c.,
2:15If; zoe Davis, 2:17A; Jewett (pacer),
2:l4; Majolica, 2:15; Oliver K, 2:16A lat
Chicago, Oct. p; Belle F., 2:15A iArab, 2:15;
Libbie s., 2:l94; Charley Hilton, 2:l7X, and
tho cracks of California.
AT Bay District park, April 9, 1887, he was
sent against time, 2:14A, for a purse of ST.
900. He succeeded in lowering his mark to
2:13x. Later in the season he was defeated
several times, against his time in New York,
July 9, trotting in 2:15H; by Patron, 2:144,
at Cleveland, July 30; by Johnston, 2:OeH,
at Springfield ito wagon, and by Prince

Calculations are already being made in ref
ercnce to the coming worlds championship
series to be played next October, and it has
become quite an important subject for dis
cusSiou with the clubs which are now CON
spicuously In tho van in the League race rs
to which Of the three leading clubs in the As
ISOLATION are likely to be their Anniversaries if
either should win. The New York team
want to see the Brooklyns successful, as a Sc
ries of games between these two teams would
be the most profitable Of any. That tine New
York team of 80 can defeat the Browns is IA
foregone conclusion In metropolitan circles,
but things are not so sure to be calculated
upon as regards the Brooklyns, and hence the
attraction of n series between the "Giantsn
and the "BrideGrooms' would be the great
est the worlds series could present this COM
ing fall.
The New York teams will meet again In
October, however, worlds series or not, in
order to settle the question of the rity cham
pionship, which was mistakenly claimed by
the New Yorks last spring just as the st.
Louis team claimed the honors from Detroit,
because they beat them in a spring series.
The New York as well as the Philadelphia
clubs championship honors are won by the
club winning the most series of the season,
not of the spring. 1t is the fall games which
settle the question.-Srorting Life.

Away back in the Jacobite days, when men
were alive who could remember Shakespeare,
there were Robertsons going from booth to
booth, playing now in some great hall, now
In the galleried court yard of some tavern,
now rich, now poor, but always welded to
the motor life and belonging by instructive
preference TO the actor caste. Mrs. Kendal's
grandfather was a Brahmin in this caste-a
man of force and financial acumen-who
built eight theatres in the Lincolnshire circuit
and aspired to make his son a solicitor-per-
haps-who knowsl-to found a county family.
This son duly became a solicitor; then he mar
ried a German lady who dearly loved the
stage, and so he followed where all the i'm
pulses of heredity drew him and went on the
stage himself, and then there came twenty
two children, who also swarmed towards the
footlights as ducklings go TO the pond-and

on ground game and county politics, there
were more Robertsons on the stage than ever.
