troubled with nervous exhaustion, brought
IN by the arduous and exciting business of
his racing stable. His horses are
Enjoying the summer with him.
There was an amusing incident at the re-
cent Fitchburg meeting. One of the parties
to race protested three of the horses enter
ed, and telegram was sent to Secretary
Morse in this city asking for information. It |
came in the shape of telegram notifying
the officers that the protestant himself was
under Suspension.
The summer meeting at Charter Oak park
fully maintained the high reputation which
Hartford has always enjoyed with the trot-
ting world for providing first class SPORT

FORGOTTEN "fIP."
Not so very long ago we'll known Hart
ford horseman, who now and then backs his
opinions about the speed of horses, met
"Knap" Mccarthy, the famous whip who
now fits General Withers' horses for their
scampers. The two were intimate friends,
and naturally they fell to talking about the
| runners under McCarthy's charge. In the
course Of the chat Mccarthy told his friend
that he had . colt which could beat the best
| Of them, ''and when you see his name don't
you mind what company is named along
| with him, but back him few dollars he's a
sure winner. Remember"

ment before the horses were called to saddle,
there was put on the big blackboard near

name of the owner, as usual under such cir
cumstances, not appearing. Nobody dwelt
upon the circumstances; few or none knew
the horse, and the fact that he was rated 80
to in the pools showed that nobody cared
for him and they risked few dollars on
him. Curiously enough the stranger made a
show of his royal companions, winning the
race with ridiculous ease, and setting every
one thinking.
Munching his lamb chop and slipping his
old Burton at a well-known restaurant nexi
day, MoCarthy's friend in this city was also
thinking of the race and what an opportunity
| there would have been if fellow had only
been ''onto" it. All at once he started from
his reverie like frightened deer, dropping
his eating utensils with a thud that woule
have startled a dumb-waiter. "By thun
