is THIS A SLOW TOWN?
The Men Who Want the Kite Track

A REMARKABLE LIST OF TWO.YEAR
OLDs In TIE go CLASS.

Trotting Horses-Wilkes and Electioneer

Hngs that have Gone i'm Better than 80
No Maine Two-Year-OIds in the List
This Year.
The men who are tworking to establish
the kite-shaped mile track at Cape Eliza
beth are feeling little discouraged at the
apathy with which the project is regarded
by business men In the city. George Burn
ham. Esq, has given $40O; but his exam
die stands alone. Mr.. j. +. Barrett says
that $4,000 has been pledged for the loca-
tion of the track at Old Orchard; and that
Lewiston is entering the lists with some
enthusiasm and the great advantage of be-
ing already the seat of the State Fair. So
far Portland has not assured $1,000. MIR.
Barrett has been recently at Boston in con-
sultation with members of the New Eng
land association, and they have given him
assurances that the proposed track at
Portland would, if constructed, bring here
many horses and races that now 60 to Mys-
tic Park. probably the best track in New
England at the present time. The simple
RACES are by no means the whole business
OF good track. Is is also training
ground for trotters; and the Cape Eliza
beth track might have as many as two
hundred horses training there in a season.
1t is certainly for the advantage of this
city to have the track located here, es-
pecially If many of the great races now
taking place at Mystic may be brought
here.
Fast Young Trotters.
Not long ago the PRESS printed list OF
the Maine horses that have entered the
230 list in the last season. There are about
thirty-one of them. In the whole country
there are probably from 100 to 1900 that
have brought their records into the list
since last April.
There Is still another list that Is awaited
with considerable interest by those inter-
ested in horses, the list of two-year olds
that have entered the 2.3O list in the last
season. The racing is not entirely finished
in California; but probably the new record
will be few If any. Maine has no 2.30 two
year old; but the list will nevertheless be
of interest here, because many Maine
horses have strains of the same blood that
flows in the veins of these Young wonders !:

The most noticeable thing about this list
is the number of two.year-Olds that have
Deen able to make this very fast time; and
the fact that by far the larger number of
tnem belong to two branches of one great
family: Rysdick's Hamnletonian had two
sons, George Wilkes and Electi0neer. The
mOtherS OF these sons were different. but
each was OF Clay blood And an inspec-
ton of the above list will show how MANY
