The Select Few.

| The fast ones" among the Maine equines
are nov being worked at the different
Maine tracks in readiness for the approach
ing August and later fall races; and we
may reasonably look to some Of them TO
exceed the records of previous years. la
1888 the Eve xres. four year olds were The
Seer, Westland, Resolu:e, EImbrook and
Miss Ledo. The Seer. Resolu,e and Elm
brook made records below $50; while
Westiand in the stallion race at Bangor
made record Of 23lA in the third heat.
mis- friends believing he had the ability
to beat % on the same day.
The Seer, 222i. will be very likely to
add another 2.20 performer this season. to
Names 2.20 list. While not Maine bred
horse, while young he was brough. under
the influence of the Maine climate and has
developed to three year-old record of 2 20
while as four-yesr-old he placed to his
credi, 8 mark of 2.2lt. He left lie vision
| this week to go into training, and later on
he will be heard from at the front in the
grand circuit.
Glenxrm, 2.2SA, having been Withdrawn
entirely from the stud, ought to .trot very
fast this season, and give in another 22o
performer from the Diriso State.
Elmbrook with a four-year- old record
2.26 IA should be great fveyear-old.
Horsemen look to see him trot very fast.
Resolu.e, four-year-old record 2.29 1-2 it
is believed will place very low mark to
his credit this season.
Miss Ledo. Psi that gave so good an &C.
count of herself on the Maine tracks as
four year-old is being fitted and it is believed
that she will be one of the crack ive-year-
olds this year.
Baby Dean, trial 2.21t), should be a
drawing card, and should go to the front
down the circuit, as he is being prepared
by the veteran driver SIosher, who is an
artist in the sulky. Baby Deans 2.2l was
accomplished over the Lewiston track at
the State Fair in 1889, and was the fastest
mile ever trotted in Maine. This perform
ance was all the more wonderful from the
fact that he had made heavy season in
the stud. Many expect him to beat 2,20
this fall and what is more, believe he has
the ability to do it.
/ After these few young ones" have been
considered there are still the old stsgers to
fall back upon for good sport on Maine
tracks the approaching season. Among
these are Jack Spratt, Free Trade, Romu-
lus, Fannie W, Present, Barney L., st.
Lawrence, Van Helmont, Black Nathan,
1 DR.. Smith, Kate Boone, General Starks,
Maggie Middleton, Ticonic, Garfield, Ca
nsrd Jr., Mckusick, Cleveland Girl, Palm,
Grameta Lucky, Fred NJ. Frank A.. Lady
Martin and many others. Nelson has not
/ vet been mentioned, but he is here Just the
same. and is the great and only Nelson of
2.14t fame. This at seven years of age is
great record and no one believes his limit
has yet been reached, as in his races thus
far he has shown speed enough for quar-
ter and half, to beat the worlds stallion
he can do it for single heat aud take his
chances.
Greater interest will center in the fall rae
es this year than has ever been known in
any year for the past decade. The number
of fleet horses was never more numerous
or their quality better. The results of
years of careful breeding ought to begin to
tell, and we believe it will give good re-
port when the final cards of the fall races
are hung out.
