2:O1 1-2 has the Crown.
The Allen Farm stallion Kremlin is one
OF the wonders OF the 18Th century. He
was started at Nashville, snn., on the 18th
INST, against his own record, 2:0Sf, and
beat it by a half second. This brilliant
effort establishes bis claim TO the trottng
stallion championship of thu world. His
splendid victory is rendered doubly wonder
ful from the fact that he IS only FIVE years
| cid, and further than that made a senson in
the stud last spring. He Is not only tine
champion trotting stallion of the world,
but Ia elso the champion five year old trot-
ter.
kremIin was prepared for this wonderful
feat and piloted to victory by the we'll
known trainer Ed Bither, q native of Maine.
