year-oid colts; each of the four weigh 1900

and English Chief Mr.. Tozier has some
other good stock.
Mr. JEFF Bradbury Of Houlton, has gone
to the Glen House, White Mountains. with
i6 white horses which will be used on the

tanned by Mr.. Bradbury in ArOostook
county to fill an order from Landlord Mil
liken, who for some years has depended
upon Mr.. Bradbury for the horses which
have made the Glen coaches so famous
among the tourists who go to the mountains.

"A popularity of the kite track says
Editor Thompson. of the Turf, Farm and
Home, sis that the pole horse is liable to
get the worst of the scoring. As they go
around the loop the wrong way ar to the
right, the pole horse is ON the outside, and
the turn is so short that, like platoon of
infantry wheeling the pivot on which they
turn has simply to mark time while the one
on the outside has to double-quick. In
the same way, while the horse in outside
position in the heat has simply to jog around
the loop, the pole horse is strung out to his
fastest clip. This must be kept up for an
eighth of mile, if the pole horse reaches
the wire on even terms, A better way, it
seems to US, would be to grade the entire
loop, and then let the horses jog down and
wait until all were turned, the same as on a
regulation track
A large crew of workmen are now EN-
ployed in building the new mile track in
Scarboro near Portland. Two mile tracks
within half dozen miles of each other, in
Maine looks as though somebody had money
to throw away in building them; hut there
is nothing like rivalry in business to make
success of venture.
Robert T. Hobbs of Fairfield owns a
pair of fillys, light bay in color, by Har-
binger, dam by Wetherell horse, grandam
| a Drew mare. Mr.. Hobbs has also year
ling by Pickering and out of the same dam
as above. He shows good trotting qualities
and is very promising.
Mai. J. b. Chase. after completing the
kite shaped mile track at Old Orchard
Beach and resting few days at his home in
Foxcroft, was called to Ellsworth to super
intend the work of demonstrating the old
track in that city. He arrived home again
last Thursday having finished what he went
there to do On the 2sth of the present
month the major goes TO Phillips to com
mence the construction of a new track near
that village. Later in the season, he is to
build one at PASSPORT. Tiscataquis county.

best race course builder in Maine among
her native productions.
A matched race between Won Helmont,
owned by Dr. fash of Fairfield, and Naum-
keag, owned by c. G. Andrews of Bangor,
event which would call iig crowd together
Some of the horsemen think it would be a
walk-over for Won, while others are of the
opinion that it would take five heats TO de-
eide the race. 1t would probably not be
a playday affair for either horse.
wyman Park. Ellsworth, was opened to
the public for the first time. July 10th,
when the race course was finished. During
the first of the evening few of the promi-
nent citizens amused themselves by speed

new track for the purpose of trying it. The
opening races will be advertised later.
