PALo ALTO FLYERS.
Senator stanford's String of Trotter,
Start for the East.

SeHator StaniOrQs string OF TrOtters
Start for the East.
Yesterday nine young trotters left the
Palo Alto Stock Farm for Terre Haute,
Ind, to enter upon the trotting circuit the
coming summer. A member of the
Breeder and Sportsman staff visited the Palo
Alto Farm few days ago, and thus wrote
of the string of trotters that will be put for
ward to represent it on the Eastern tracks
THE peerless bay mare Sunol, 2:1O1. has
thickened out, let down and improved inn
mensely, has lost almost all that tucked-up
appearance that characterized her last fall,
and SO far has had no real work, but is
strong and healthy and as sound as bell.
If she shows up this year. although she
may not lower Maud's record, she will
probably be left in Marvin's charge for an
other year, and be brought back to Califor-
mia for another winter. She is number
one, out of nine, on the list to go East to-
day; the second, Palo Alto, PIP, is brill
liant example of Senator Stanfords thor
oughbred theory. AS a four-year old he
made an Eastern trip, losing one race
against aged horses in 2:193, 2:194 and 2:2O,
and winning eight others against aged
horses with heats split up, and obtained a
record of 2:204, which he last year lowered
to 2:134 at Stockton, and 2:12i at the Trot-
ting Horse Breeders meeting. and finally
at Napa lowered it to PIP with two
breaks; the phenomenal performance of
the stallion fully warrant the belief that
the stallion record will assuredly be low
cred by him.
'Palo Alto has not been in strict training
this season, but looks the picture of health,
and Mr.. Marvin said that his foot had not
bothered him in the least since last fall
Gertrude Russell. 2:231, full sister to Palo
Alto, is very neatly turned bay mare, with
beautiful action and in good trim for a
journey, being much filter than either of
the cracks. Marvin says that when he re-
turns, people will not be talking altogether
of Palo Alto and Sunol, for Gertrude will
lower her record at q clip that will astonish
everyone, and. if looks go for anything she
should go down very low in the teens.
"Arol. pa, by Electioneer, out of Aurora,
presumably, in her feet, but if she gets to a
race all right, should readily put in three
heats better than 2:20.
"Navidad, b. g. 5, by Whips, 2:273. out of
Lady Thorn, Jr, dam of Santa Claus. 2:l71,
and Mollie Mack, 2:301, has shown lots of
speed, and should be very useful green
horse. Amigo, q five-year-old brown stall
lion by Electioneer, out of Nadine by Wild
idle, out of Norah, sister TO Charley Champ
lin. 2:2l3, is big, powerful horse, with
more of the Electioneer than the thorough
bred appearance, and is very resclute fast
trotter. Colnia is Q neat, shapely gray
mare, four years old, by Electioneer, out of
Sontag Mohawk, dam Sallie Benton, 2.l73,
Sport, 2:223, and Eros, 2:29a. She should
improve her famous dams record by going
well inside thirty.
"Wildmont is a very racv, handsome
three-year-old bay mare. with erayish fore
head, by Piedmont, Eth, out of Wild
flower, 2:2l at two years old. She should
prove phenomenal trotter.
And last, but by no means least. ia
Electric Bell, q beautiful brown colt. two
years old, with q slightly Moor back. bv
Electioneer out of Beautiful Bells. 2:o95
and therefore q full brother to Bell Bow
2.l93, Kinda Rose 2l9i, St. Bel 2:24}, and
Palo Alto Belle 2:22I. Electric Bell will
most decidedly not disgrace his illustrious
relatives, and next year will find him en-
rolled in the list of honor.
such q brilliant collection of fast and
highly bred trotting horses have never left
the State before. and the care and skillful
handling they will receive from Charles
Marvin, who is the peer of any man rs q
trotting horse educator and campaigner.
should make them all more renowned
than ever. The stable will go to Terra
Haute, thence 10 Detroit. and if all keeps
well, they will return home in October
