That popular and successful driver,
Jim Curl of Tracy, has made prop
osition to jog this winter and drive
next year Harpoon. Billy Mccullough
thinks seriously of accepting the
terms. Billy says ''he is coming" and
DR.. Curryear said last summer, "keep
your eye on that grandson of Nut
wood; he will fool you all; he is a
trotter."
w. X. Walker, when he isn't saving
wood or husking corn like adown east
farmer, is like unto a Kentucky breed
er, jogging these days Royal Hal and
King Phallamont, 2 years old, record
2:52. If Geo. Spear is reinstated he
takes King Phallamont July 1st to tit
him for the Breeders stakes, in which
he is entered to trot during the state
fair. King Phallamont has many
friends in GAINESVILLE, Wis, that proph-
esy he will get a mark next year in his
3-year-old form better than 2:3O.
It is quite proper to relate right here
a story on our friend Bill Walker of
Frog Lake Farm. He established last
summer a breeding department to his
farm, purchasing some choice trotting
and pacing stock, and has talked most
enthusiastically-horse, records, blood
lines, etc., etc., in and out of season;
SO much so that his good wife has &C
cused him of being daft on the sub
iect. The accusation should not trou-
BILE him, for the following narrative
will show his talk has availed him
much:
Billie Atherton, the persuasive col
lector for Mccormick Machine Co.,
was pursuing one of his missions 100
miles south of here in the woods some
weeks since, when he met two horse
back riders, whose "seat," if it could
be SO called, was so jerky that it would
suggest, as they rapidly raised each
time they came in contact with the
saddle, that their trousers had recent
ly been in proximity with red-hot
frying pan. ALI our readers know Bill
lie Atherton is horsey, ever ready for
trade, with an eye open for the main
chance. Now, as Billie surveyed the
awkward horsemen, their long steer
age coat tails tapping up and down
in the wind in unison with their ell
bows, he noted they were mounted on
two likely-looking fillies. AS his team
was late Mccormick chattel mort
gage acquisition, he was keen for a
change, and the following dialogue
took place:
