of horses tandem to dog-cart makes the
best of his way to Albany GAG miles) the
objective point being the Delevan house in
that city. Each driver is to be accom-
panied by guest and also to have his
groom on the back seat and the first of the
teams to pull up at the Delevan house will
be the winner, provided that the horses
finish in such condition that they are able
to be brought to the door of the hote

were necessary. Mr.. Logan will drive {

TRoTTING IN EUROPEAN AMERICAN WE
HAS HAD ENOUGH OF EUROPE.
Barney Stanford the veteran trainer an
driver of trottlrs, who has returned fro
Germany recently, reeled off the followir
conversation to q reporter: "I have spe1
-, year with the trotters of Europe, and

I have handled trotters owned by Moessi1
ger of Berlin, who is known us one of IL
J. fathers Of the turf in Europe. The be-
!, tracks in Europe are at Berlin and Vienn
The former has mile track, all the othel

larger cities and the betting is all Par

where books are made. In Germany

AS / said before I am done with Europ
I went there principally to see the COUNT
anu nave seen all 1 WduG 10. LII de
many they tax man on the slighte
provocation and all through Europe yc
are compelled to give up so much on q
most everything for the support of IL
government. One thing which may ha
made it worse for me over there is drivir
in so many countries where I could n
understand their language nor read the
papers.

An Amusing Incident at the Medic
