Handsome Family Pairs and Many l
Good Horses on the Popular Drive
Trotters With Fast or Slow Records
MANY Owners DFivfng-More TrOt-
ting Expected To-Day.
There was something like an old-time
carnival on Whalley avenue yes
terday afternoon. Several valuable pairs
were out and many fine and fast horses
were noticed, but the number of
turnouts was not as great as has often been
seen on this fashionable sleighing drive,
which gave better opportunity for fast
horses to show their speed. During former
years the teams have been SO thick on the
avenue that fast driving was unsafe, and
there was frequent danger of collision.
Watching the driving were groups of spec
tators, but not as many as formerly COM
posed the sidewalk crowd.
Among the turnouts that attracted uni
versal attention was the handsome family
sleigh drawn by very desirable pair of
coach horses, with Driver Keenan, at the
reins. The team is owned by James Eng
lish. Mr. Kimberly's well matched pair Of
coal black horses, with their fine coats, are
always attractive.
Severed other pairs of family horses
looked very nice as they trotted over tne
snow.
William Nicely and trainer Smith were
out with the fast pair of black horses,
Rocket and Gerold, who we're sent over the
road many times at rapid gait, and were
nue. Yesterday afternoon. They we're sent
at slow gait on the outward drive to the
farther end of the course, where they
were turned around, and they came down
the road with flying speed.
Fred Potter, ST., was out with black
horse, and Fred Potter, jr., was seated be-
hind a gray pacing horse that is quite
speedy.
S. II. Cruttenden was ont with the black
trotter Landmark, 2:35, that he has recent
ly purchased.
Joe Mcdonald and lady were evidently
enjoying the sleighing behind fine pair
of horses.
One of the pairs that attracted much at
tention during the afternoon is owned by
Edward Malley, who held the reins over
Spotted Beauty ssa and George esa Max
not long ago will William Neely's pair all
the way from Savin Rock to Chapel street.
| and it was hard to tell which was the bet
| ter pair.
George Maxwell was purchased by Mr.
Malley after this trotter had been entered
| in two races, both of which he won easily
| This trotter was a pool favorite in his
races, where in order to win he was Obliged
| to obtain record of 1856, which is not the
limit of his speed.
| Among the others were noticed the cele
brated trotter s'Bodine," who was retired
| from the track years ago with the low rec
| ord of 2:194. AS Bodine was sired by Vol
unteer he is half brother to st. Julien
Gill, who was formerly renowned a
eking of the turf" Bodine is favored
with excellent quarters in an uptown sta
BILE.
i Fred Oaks was out with good looking
sorrel horse George White was seated
behind fine clipped horse. Mr.. and Mrs
N W. Hubinger were out sleighing will
one of the many horses from the Hubinge
stables. Mr.. Smith with his bay trotter
Flora Belle, and Herman Fox with hi
pacing horse were noticed. George Girls
void and family were taking the frsh al
in sleighing also. Mr.. Mcintyre and DR.
Stetson were out with good horses.
Many persons who own horses will I'm
doubted show them on the Whalley ave
| nue. drive this afternoon.
