It is understood that john Utton of Nor
risville la, engaged tor next season the ser
yices oe John A. Nouiton. He has had
charge of Ha'en NJ. and Lambert b. this
season, and drove them to records Of 2:2I
and 22GJ respectively. The two JOHNS
should MAKE a great pair. Mr. Utton now
has 20 horses and colts in training, and is
building new barn that he may have ample
facilities for his increasing business.
The Breeders Gazette says that G. W.
Williams, upon hearing of AriOn's wonder
fIl performances, telegraphed that lie would
like 10 breed 10 highly bred mares to tho
cot next season at $4,000 each, making tho
snug little sum o. So, 600. How is that for
cot that was offered for $1,000 less than
one year ago?
The wonderful performances of Palo Alto
last Weel. viii command the attention Of
horsemen all over the word. The Peo Alto
stable, which is owned by Senator Leland
Stan. ord, has wrested every record from its
many competitors and now holds them all.
In accomplishing the great feat, the trainer
and driver cf HE stable, Charles Marvin,
must not b. overlooked when it comes to
be toWins the credit where it belongs. For
to his superb driving and perfect know-
ed go of the horses under his care, has done
more tAan anything else i'll getting them 10
The front.
Cepnas, the handsome little Maine bred
| four year Old. "hich won in "a handsom
race out ut Mystic recently seems to tie
pretty nearly phenomenal trotter. His
owner did not think he had much OF n cot,
and the thought that lie had more than an
ordinary road horse had never entered his
head until one day i'll July. The colt had
been running at pasture. He was taken
up, anu in driving h. IN on the road he showed
that he could 90 fast, so last i'll fact that
| he was taken 70 tue track some ~ days al
ter having been taken from the pasture,
where he showed IA half III l:l5t This was
certainly phenomenal speed, AMI he WAS en-
! tered in a race to take place the next week,
which he won in 2:30. Since that time he
| has trotted a race week, winning each
/ time and closed the season with record OF
2:2J+ with the last half mile in 1:l0t. This
! is the fastest record made by a Name bred
| four year old.
The Manchester Mirror and Farmer says:
alderman william Corey OF Manchester
| has returned from visit to MorrisvlIIe,
where ne has pair of colts training by the
| Uttou brothers. he is well satisfied with
the Showing his Viking colt out of a
| Manbrluo w likes mare Is making, anu Will
! leave him there another season to be devel-
oped further. lie is n three-year and
! can trot mile in 2;40. lie VIII send a
| yearlng sister to tho same trainers
tnis fall for development. Edwin
| Adams also of Manchester has string of
Wilkeses at Morrisvile, having recently
arrived there.
When you come to think that daughters
Of Mambriuo Patchen have produced nine
teen of the new 2:30 performers of the sea-
son says the Boston Courier, and that Of
this number, Ive have trotted In 2:20 or
better. it is easy to see why big value is
! placed on these mares. A well bred daugh
ter of Uumbruo Patchen in the hands of a
man who knows the value of what he mas
aud how to breed il so as to get the most
from it is veritable gold mine. Hamolo-
! but eventually he will be passed by Nam
| brine Patchen, as Elec iopoer has passed
George Wilkes and Nutwood will do,
Electioneers new 900 list numbers 80,
every one of which is u trotter. This gives
him a total of SO, including one PAGER. It's
a thing greatly to tho credit of Electioneer
that he does not sire PAGERS.
