his pet, Sunol, who is down there in the hands
of Charles Marvin, the veteran trainer, and the
only man who has ever held the reins over her,
said:
ITO ask me what think of Nancy Hanks
performance Is q good deal like asking an
epicure what he thinks Of one of the dishes he
likes best served in the finest possible STYLE 1t
is grand. Every lover Of trotting must SO look at
it. Nancy Hanks is great trotting mare. and
l do not believe that any owner Of trotttng
horses in this country would, II he could, de-
tract one iota from her glory. She holds the
record-207H. That Is the standard We must
all strive to reach now.
"At the same time am not going to take off
my hat SO far as to acknowledge that she n the
fastest trotter in the world 1t is too early to do
that yet. My Sunol, with her record Of 20eA,
has got to have q chance under the same con-
ditions this new record was made, behind
one of these new pneumatic-tired sulkies. She
will have that opportunity this fall in public
exhibition il I live. Maud s., unfortunately
cannot. She is up at Tarrytown- This spring
she was bred to Ansel and not proving in foal
was again bred to him about month ago.
81 am not going to feel bad because Nancy
Hanks has trotted q mile in 2.07H; 209 was the
best she ever made in an ordinary sulky, and
with one exception her best performances have
not been better than I'll. With the pneumatic-
tired. ball-bearing sulky she has earned for her
self the worlds record for a trotting mile, and
all credit to her for 1t, but Sunol must have q
chance. She made the mile in Q common sulky.
on Ete-shaped track. to be sure. in 20Sh and
she shall have a chance to knock that down q
second or more with the new sulky. II she
can do it then the next season we may look to
Maud g.; with her record Of 2.03s% on q circular
track, to a common sulky to try what she can
do with the pneumatic tires and the ball bear
ings."
LoRILLARD BUYS LAMPLIeHTER
Pierre Lorillard has been anxious for some
time to own Brown i Rogers three-year-old
colt Lamplighter. and after several overtures he
secured him on Wednesday night for $50. 900.
When the owner Of the Rancocas stable first
made an offer for the crack he wanted the geld
ing by Glenelg Moyne included for the
$50 900. This was not acceptable, and finally
the LamPlighter was purchased without the
two-year-old gelding. Lamplighter's third in
the suburban and his subsequent victory in the
champion stakes are fresh in every ones menu
DRY. He is a son of Spendthrift and Torchlight,
by Speculun, and is the first Of the SPEND
thrifts to stay distance. Although strong and
robust in appearance he is what is termed a
might horse" and on account Of his restless
ness during the small hours is very bad feeder.
This will account for his name be1Bk 80 contin-
ualiy withdrawn when apparently he had
stake at his mercy.
'with everything right" said Starter Rowe
the other day, II haven't the least doubt in the
world that Kingston could run a mile in 1.33,
and wouldn't be at all surprised if he could do
1t in 1925"
The trial of Salvador against time drew
tremendous throng to Monmouth two years
ago. The appearance of Kingston in a similar
contest would probably attract an enormous
crowd. If the matter we're brought to the at
tention OF MIR. Walcott and Mr.. Dryer in the
proper way, no doubt it could be arranged. II
the Monmouth association would offer q purse
Of S2.5 500 il Salvatore record ia equaled and an
additional s2,500 if it is beaten, Mr.. Dryer
surely would not hesitate to enter Kingston.
The horse is now in the very perfection Of con-
dition. Kingston's admirers-and they are
many-have never doubted that he could .beat
Salvador doing anything up to a mile and an
eighth"
THE NEW TRorTINa QUEEN.
Nancy Hanks, the new queen of the trotting
turf, is a small bay mare barely fifteen hands
high, was foaled in 1886 at Lexington KY, the
property Of Mr.. Hart Boswell. She was sired
by Happy Medium and her dam was Nancy
Lee, by Dictator. The young mare was han
died by Cen Kinney Of Kentucky, who gave her
three-year-old record Of 2.24H. She followed
this up by trotting in 2.1419 as a four-year-old
at Lexington, and she was heralded as one Of
the greatest trotters of the decade. In 1891 che
became the property Of Mr.. J. Malcolm Forbes
Of Boston for something like $4,000, and at
Richmond, Ind, took mark Of 2.os This was
not her most noteworthy feat last year, how
ever, as she defeated the great stallion Allerton
in one Of the greatest races on record at Inde-
pendence, Iowa.
GARRISON on yoRKvILLE BELLE.
Here is GarrisOn's story Of how Yorkville
Belle won the Omnibus stakes ut Monmouth,
Tuesday:
"The start was all that could be desired.
Every horse WAS in motion and nearly aligned
across the track. The pace was moderate one
from the start and, with the exception of the
riders of Mars and Bashford, every jockey
were under a strong, steady pull.) When the
first seven-eighths of a mile had been covered
went up to the others and felt of them, as they
were still swinging. l was sure that could
swing as long as they could, but it flashed on
my mind that when let the mares head down
to call on her she might stop, some persons
faid she was not game. moved up again and
remained in a good position all around the
turn. l thought Huron was going through on
