1t is questionable whether. oyer
the hard tracks of the far west during |
the hot, dry summer that prevails in
that region, Hal Pointer would stand
IN and 90 a great many hard races,
and perhaps in buying him the Mon
lana men have loaded themselves up
with goods that will not be particu-
iarly vAIuable.-CIdTE's Horse Re

-StambouI will cease his stud du-
lies in May, and then he will be put
into the trainers hands Ior the trot-
ting season. Even yet it has not been
decided as to whether he will go
east. though HickOk has been retain
ed to drive him there if he does.

prepare for the eastern journey, but

-Gambetta Wilkes 2;2G, has three
trOtters and four PAGERS with records
from 2:30 to 2:l4A, the Oldest OF
which was three years when record
was obtained. These are his only
performers up to date. He is now
the leading colt sire, at least II
figured by per centage. e..
Goldsmith Maid 2:l4, is the last
est trotter that has produced q sire.
Her son Stranger has three $3.50 per-
formers to his credit. He is by Gem
eral Washington, son OF Lady

1t is certain that whoever takes
Hal Pointer to Montana Will get a
race for him, although his record is
rather faster than anything owned
out that way, There is one side
wheeler, however, in MOntanR-G0lo
Maid, that is capable of taking the
measure of almost any PAGER, and
with her remarkable speed she
should be able to give even Hal POin-
| ter such race as he never before had.
When YOIo Maid was four years old,
! she made q record of 2:l2 and frac-
| ton, and now that age has filled her
! out and strengthened her muscles,
| there is little doubt that with proper
| training and driving she will be able
! to step three miles in 2:l3 or better,
! and that will make Hal Pointer think
| he has been to the raceS.-CtdrE'S

| Monroe Chief was himself remark
abIy fast and game performer, but
! although he has been in the stud in
California for long time; and has
had a good class of mares, he has
never succeeded in string $3.50 speed,
and so far as that of his career ia con-
cerned, it may be set down as
failure.
