SAYS Clark's Horse Review
"Etorm's first hest in 2:ll, in the race
won by WinsIuw WIlhes ut 7, IRE

When asked by New York sur
reporter if tf,eie was any truth in the
report tn"t Budd Dnble had claimed
- 600 for beating 2:O5, MI. Bonner
said according 10 the Sun:
| "Of course he did net claim il, nor
would any faifmindrd man. My
offer wa mace ia good faith at the
t,nn Of my CORE spnudeUce with
General Tracy. The offer that mede
wa4 that no horse could trOt within

Spring field, Harif ford, Cleveland and
BUflalu, in 2:05. Since THAT time the
