LEXINGTON, KY. August 3O.-Rain
again interfered with trotting in Kentucky
this week. The first days programme of the
Lexington trots had to be postponed until
Wednesday and the contests were then de-
cided on very heavy track. The sport,
however, was very interesting. some of the
finishes being very close and exciting. The
work of the preparation of the great October
meeting here of the Kentucky Horse Breed
ers' Association is not being iessened, and
should the association be blessed with
week of good weather records will be in danger.

A DISAPPOINTING HORSE.
Fleetwood. who failed to appear in his match
with Scotsman at the Northwestern Breeders
Association meeting last week at Chicago and
thus permitted the latter to walk over for the
stakes, has been a source of much disappoint-
ment to his owner, Pool Seller Charles H.
Stiles. In the winter of last year he was
offered, at the Woodland combination sale, in
this city, and was bid in by j. G. Williams,
Newark. o., who was acting for his owner, for
$4,000. At the time it was thought he would
soon take fast mark, but one summer has
gone and another is on the wane, still Elect
wood Is yet out of the 230 fold. A son of
Electioneer, out of q daughter of Nurwood,
Fleetwood has strong claims for turf disrinc-
tion. but thus far he has utterly failed to fulfill
MS early promises, instead OF serving as another
example that royal lineage and handsome ap-
pearance are by no means a sure route to fame
on the trotting turf.
