priced trotter that was ever sold at
auction; price, $50 600, and Bell Boy,

The subject of 20 per cent. en-
trance fees in trotting races is being
agitated more this season than ever

talk that has been INDUCED in is that
| in a number of instances the western
associations as we'll as those in the
East have announced that the en-
! trance fee will be materially reduced,
in some cases it being cut to IA per
cent, and III ether Gas to D.

sire, and many believe that he would
have exceeded any horse that ever
lived, had he ever had greater Oppor-
| tunities or a better class of mares.
| He is well represented in both the
2:3O and 2:2O lists, but only has one
| descendant with a record as good as
gals, viz; Fred Arthur (pacerD

| performer at ten years OF age had not

and tWenty-three others had sired 2
PAGER that had entered the $3.50 list.

great deal of attention to his sire,
horse called Gibraltar, about whom

living great sire. He was fOaled in
S63, and is, therefore, twenty-eight
ears of age. He is the only living
morse that has more than one trotter
III the 2:15 list, and he is also the
)nIy living horse that has son and
laughter that have each produced a
rotter that has obtained record as
good as 2:15. He is also the only
morse that ever lived to see four of his
descendants with trOtting records be

Jweuty-three feet, cannot break this
rule.

has been said and written about the
.ale of Hal Pointer. About three
weeks ago Mr.. Geers received letter
rom a gentleman in Montana, say
ing that he had purchased the horse
of Mr.. Hamlin, and asked Geers if he
could drive him in the Montana Cir
cult, and Mr.. Geers wrote that he
could not. Now comes letter from
Mr.. Hamlin stating that he has not
sold the horse to Montana parties or
any one else. so that the prObabili- |
