that Washington will not depend on the
simple fact that James G. Blaine graduated
from her college to keep her name before
the world; but will send several stables OF
trotters out to contest for the large stakes
offered. One of the largest stables will rep
resent the Ethanmont farm, situated just
outside of the city limits, and owned by j.
h. Ellsworth. This farm has the well-known
driver, F. B. Doble, youngest son Of the old
renowned driver, Billy Doble, and q brother
to the master reinsman, Budd Doble.
Ethanmont farm should, and no doubt
will. have some good ones in their stable, as
Mr.Doble drove the great Nancy Hanks, 209
in all her work last season and has been with
his brother Budd for years. With the ex-
perience he has had and such horses he will
have to work this season he should be able
to go in fast company. In his training stable
