record this year.
Pillow Cant reports the following |
fOals to date: One colt by Red Hal |
%; one colt by Goldspur, dam by |
Paymaster,Jr. Mr.. Cant is
fortunate i'll owning the dam of Mon
Dgram 3d. and the dam and full sister
20 Red Hal 2:26. The time is fast |
when producing dams will be
worth II dozen or two mares that are
Ill right but have never gotten u
winner.
DIR. Robert Pillow says that F. ID.
Lander's Brown Hal twin-cOlt ought
o be pitched into Duck river. That it
has stayed in town so long and gotten
50 sassy" and stuck up that it spends

Dassers by and ut him i'll particular.

Ed. Geers has done more to popu-
arize the Tennessee PAGER on the race
rack than any,man who has eVer.lived.

II Tennessee" but Little attention was
laid him ga3 his equally obscure
string of PAGERS and Il few trOtters.
With old Duplex 2:l7 he first set
hem to thinking that he could drive
bit, and later with the almost in
yincible Pointer he has carried the
anne of the Tennessee PAGER wherever
has been heard the buzz of his sulky
wheels. No wonder Tennesseans will !
'ver have warm place in their hearts
or this quiet, slow, methOdical, plod-
ling, tireless genius IAN honest
nan is the nOblest work of God"
As Fame, with men, is a shy and
uncertain goddess, coming less to those
Who endeaVor to acquire 1t most stren-t
Iously, and seeking others who care
,Ut little for it, so in the rearing
If race horses the same uncertainty
,ften exists and matron after matron
bred in purple lines, may go on throw
ng cutters and lunk-heads forever
hOugh sired by equally as well-bred
while some obscure colt,
whose breeding is barely tolerable,
Dut stamped by the shy goddess with
spirit OF fire and a soul of steel, goes
,ut from some heretofore unknown
,reeder's farm and sets new mark
or speed and new fashion for blood
ines.
Breeders of the light-harness horse B:
ee their greatest danger in the indis-
rimina5e betting and ineXcusable I
rickery perpetrated at nearly every I
ace track in the country. Racing a
Iorse for purse is quite a different {
hing from betting that a horse Will
vim that purse, and doubly different :
hing from using unfair means to see |
hat he wins or does not win it, as
he case may be desired. 1t is folly for {
~ To, al hat .
