A brother of the horse mentioned is
the stallion which Chief of Police
Roy has been driving during the
present season:
"The colts sent out west from East
Park stock farm have returned hav-
ing by their performance so early in
the season, done credit to the farm
and to their breeding. Richard Jay,
the four-year-old son Of Indicator
Wilkes, not having been driven II full
fast mile this season before he left
home started in the 2:35 pace at
Lyons, Neb., in a field Of eight old
campaigners, and got second money
and and was a close second in 2:22,
2:23 and 2:25.
At Sioux City, in the following
week he started in the same field and
| won first money in three straight
heats. AtPonca, Nebraska, July 4th
he started aginst the same field with Il
few new recruits, and won the first
two heat in 2:24Hs, 2::23A, but Il COM
bination of the field against him aid
ed by the Judges; was beaten out OF
the race. Don Donnan, another colt
OF Dictator Wilkes, started in his
first race at Lyons, Neb., in a field
of eight aged experience trotters and
was 9Th in LIST heat, 4th in 2nd heat
and 3rd in 3rd heat, missy, and 2:35A
and was separately timed in 2:35A
the last heat.
At Sioux City, in substantially the
same field, he got. fourth money il
2:35H, 2:34A, and 2:32. AtPonca, Neb
July 9Th he, in a field ofnine estarters
got third money, best time 2:34. II
all these races, it is said he never
made a mistake, and was faster tn
last heat than the first. Being al
flicted with the prevailing influenza
Olivette and Elsinore did not star
in a single race. They all came bac
in good form, and will be ready il
the races in which they are entered
at Knoxville, the second week {
August. f. y. Tibbets, Supt. {
East Park, had charge of the string
