paigning tour tomorrow morning. Charles
81. Lewis, the driver, and several others in
the employ of the Hubingers will accom-

races there the string will be shipped to
Mystic park, Boston, and from there to
Norwalk, Conn, after which the next
stopping place will be at Hartford at the
grand circuit races which occur in August
from the 25th to the 29th inclusive. The
horses are to be at the Derby and possibly
at the Waterbury races.
The string is to include the following:
Blanche, PAGER, 2:204; Lady Thompson,
trotter, $500; Milan, PAGER, 2:29, and the
trotters Maud, 2:164; G. 7. L., 2:24; Per-
simmons, no record.
G. D. Smith, the trainer, arrived home
in this city after the grand circuit races at
Cleveland during the past week. Mr..
Smith, with William Neely's PAGER Monkey
Rolla, 2:151, has won prizes in two out Of
since he left this city. At Pittsburg he
won second money, $3.50, and at Detroit he
took second money, $500.
The roam PAGER B. B., 2:131 that Herman
Fox purchased and brought to this city
last winter does not show the sp eed that
he had last season, particularly when he
met the fast PAGER Hal Pointer at Terre
Haute when B. B. crowded Hal Pointer to
the wire in the first heat in 1000, the fast.
est heat ever trotted or paced in race.
Hal Pointer won the second heat in 2:12s
and the third heat in 2:13 with the little
roam gelding close to his wheels at the fin.
ish of both heats. These were three very
fast heats, and neither horse showed any
symptoms of quitting.
On June B. B. was started by Mr.. Foz
in the free for-all pacing class at Warren
Pa. There were five contestants and foul
heats of which the fastest was made in
2:21. B. B. did not win heat, but Sc
cured third money, $50.
During the following week B. B. was
started in the same class at Jamestown, N
Y, when he was distanced the first heat il
2:S1a.
On June 20, which was one week later
B. B. was started in the free-for-alI PAGERS
class at Bradford, Pa, where he was the
last of the three contestants in each of the
three heats that were won by Elmonarct
in 2:26a, 1926, 1913. This gave Mr.. Fo1
third money, $50.
The published account of the pacing
race at Tonawanda, N. Y, on July gives
second money, 800 to B. B. There were
but two contestants in this race. The
time of the three heats was 2:25, 2:27l
and 2:2s4.
Mr.. Fox's PAGER made better showing
in the free-for-all pacing race at Dunkirk
N. Y, on July 9, when he won three of the
five heats paced and secured first money
$780,. The heats won by B. B. were made
in s:a0a, s:2Oa, 1921.
In the grand circuit races at Pittsburg
Pa, on July Is, B. B. had three contest
ants in the pacing class, as follows: Ha
Pointer 5000, Dallas Gill and Sallie G
9th. B. B. won third money, $3.50.
One week later Mr.. Fox started his horse
in the same class against four fast con
testants at Detroit on July "a. The flyer
in this race were Yolo Maid 2:12a, John
ston 2:064, Budd Doble 2:131 and Dallal
Gill. Yolo Maid won the race in three
heats which were paced in 2:16, 2:13, 2:12
present form. He was fifth in the frs
heat and was distanced in the next.
1t appears that Mr.. Fox did not start hi
PAGER at Cleveland last week against Ha
Pointer, Yolo Maid and Dallas. Ha
Pointer won first money, 81 900, broke tn
track record, for PAGERS and made tn
three fastest heats ever paced in a race
| viz: 2:10a, 2:10a, 2:104.
1t is possible that B. B. will have NOR
speed later in the season.
The black gelding Stevie, 2:19, by Ken
| lucky Prince, is another horse who is no
trotting with the speed that he had las
season, when he won several fast race
with remarkable ease. He started in tn,
2:19 class at Detroit on July 25, but die
not win any part of the purse, his nam
appearing seventh in the list. At Cleve
land last Thursday he made no bette
showing in the 2:19 class.
One Of the teams that has attracted con
siderable attention in this city is owned b
the Buck brothers. The two horse
hitched tandem to their new and substan
tial business wagon make very attract
i've team.
