IHe Must Trot for Cato Money II Sunol
Meets Belle HnmIIn.


For some time past sporting men have been
| Interested In reports that Robert Bonners
famous Sunol and G. J. Hamlins Beo Hamin
would DO likely to meet In n race at Buffalo.
| As Sunol has not appeared on any race track
| In the East, and as her splendid previous per-
| formnnces had placed her In the very front
rank OF trotters, every lover OF horses this side
OF the Rockies has been hoping that the report
| may prove true Whether 1t will or not is likely
to depend In large measure on tho amount
OF backbone that Mr.. Hamlin Possesses.
At present the negotiations arc in such
muddled condition that 1t is hard to foretell
| anything about tho meeting with any degree
| Of delniteness. although the chances are
against 1t. 1t may surprise the reader who
| does not follow the races to be informed that
| one OF Mr.. Bonner's horses Is going to race at
| all. for 1t Is generally known that he does not
allow his horses to 60 on the professional
| track. But he was unable to purchase Sunol
| from Senator Stanford except under the stipu-
lation that the latter should retain con-
troll OF the mare for one year from tho date OF
purchase Mr. Bonner's check vas made out in
