"A special from New York to the
daily press of the country, says:
"Mr. Robert Bonner, the owner OF
the mare SunOl, has received COM
municatiOn from w. g. Jones, the
President of the Columbia Driving
PARK Association, Columbia Tenn,
offering a purse of $4,000 for a race
between Nancy Hanks and Sunol.
Mr.. Bonner says SunOl shall not race
under any conditions, whether for
charity or not. "For the last thirty
years have said that il / ever let
one of ny horses race, the first man
| in the stable next morning could
| have it as a present. l have signed
my name to the statement and do not
| intend to give SunOl away as pres
ent to any one."
Says the Live Stock Record, 60
! Iumbia, Tenn claims, with much
reason, to have the fastest track in
the world"
This is what the Kentucky Live
Stock Record thinks about it: The
| Columbia, Tenn, announcement
should be carefully read and imme-
diately acted upon. 1t Is not mat
| ter OF congratulatiOn aud OF pride To
that association and state alOne-but
the trOtting industry everyWher
and to the whole country"
-"WirelIght," writing from Nash-
Vile to the Lexington Live Stock
Record, says: Tennesseans are 3
racing loving people, and It's takes
good deal of turf sport to satisfy them.
Besides the Two big trOtting meetings
to be held at Nashville and Columbia
next year, the stakes and .hpurses Of
each amounting to 100000, there
will be an eighteen-day running
meeting at Memphis, from April IL
| to %, and q similar meeting on the
| West Side Park course at Nashville,
beginning April 80 and continuing
eleven days. A fall meeting will al
so be held at the latter track in
November to continue indefinitely.
These are the "big guns" The
Tennessee Fair Circuit trOts will be-
gin early in September and continue
we'll into October. These fair circuit
tracks are the Kindergarten aux
illaries of the bigger concerns, and
many of the distinguished trotters
and PAGERS OF the country leSsned
their A b C's on these half Ele,
sharp cOTnered tracks. Secretary II.
f. Chrisman, having taken unto him
self wife, has settled down to busi-
ness in Columbia. be says the
lchances are that all pacing and trot-
ting records will be crushed on his
kite track next fall, as the soil is so
fast that a horse cannot stand still on
it, try hard as he may. At EWell
Farm there are some good things at
ali gaits. The get of McEwen, 2:loH,
and of Tennessee Wilkes, 2:Z1, are
showing up well, and as they are out
of brood mares OF the highest type,
there are certainly some race horses
among them. The Brown Halls are
always in demand and his last crop
include some extra good ones that
pace naturally and fast. Maj. Brown
has lately purchased q half dozen
choiceIy bred brood mares, both pac-
ing and trotting, to be mated With the
EWell farm stations. All Tennessee
horsemen will watch with more than
passing interest the early trials next
spring of McEwen, 2:lS4, the game
chestnut son of McCurdy's Handle
tonian, and the premier trotting stall
lion at EWell Farm. Nothing would
please the Ewell people more than to
see McEWen trot mile in 2:l2 oil
whereabouts, and those who know the
horse best think he can do 1t. Nc
Even is horse of undOubted courage
and it is thought his long rest has
done him good. L near that Geeri
will train him for his work next sea

: In McEwen Ewell Farm has a stall

the memory of his lamented sire, al
