That "aii things come to him who
waits" was never more clearly exem-
pliied than in Stamboul's case. His
splendid career as a trotter commenced
| in his two-year-old form. That season he
went into winter quarters with record
| of 2:37. AS n three-year-old he again
came out and made his bow before the
! public, entering the charmed circle Of
2:3O trotters by scoring a mark Of 2;26 IL,
which was reduced to 1923 at four years
old. During his five-year-cld form he
! stepped into the 2:2O list with a mark Of
! 217 II. The following year he closed the
! season with a mark of PA 81. In the
! spring of 1889 when seven years old he
was sold by his breeder and owner l..
| j. Rose, of California, to the late w. 5.
/ Hobart of the same State, for $4,000. At
| ter making a season in the stud he was
again placed in training TO take a shy
at his record in the fall. In the mean
time his former owner, Mr.. Rose had
concluded to sell all of his trotting stock
at auction. Accordingly they were sent

resides in Chicago, offered to bet S0,O5J
that the horse could not trot in PIP. The

mitted that his bet was only won by the
