Orwell, 2;2i, owned by Charles Williams
Of this city, and Ormond, 2;27, owned by
John Peterson of iSheburne, will be trained
this year after making a short season in the
stud. Orwell made splendid record last
year and established his right to be called
one OF the fastest trotting stations in the
State. lie made his record over the kite
shaped track at White River junction at
the State fair, aud competent judges
who saw him trot the race say that
he could have gone below 800 However
this may be, Orwell is a fast horse, or he
could not have begun the season in the $3.50
class and ended it in tho 2:24 c.ass. Mir.
j. A. Williams, father of Charles Williams,
who trained and drove the horse last year,
will be found behind him this season IL Mr..
Williams health will permit.
Ormoud was trained only nine weeks
whom Fred Reynolds drove him to his record
of 2:21. He was sired by the great Happy
Medium, and is therefore a half brother Of
Nancy Hanks, 1904.
IL breeding, and the history Of the
Medium family count for anything, Ormond
certainly he's right to trot, and to trot
much faster than his mark indicates be has
Ormond will be in the string of Mr.. X. f.
Weller OF this city. With Alexander 2:22,
Orwell 2:24 and Ormond 2;27, on the turf,
Burlington will be heard from this season.
it is ''dolsrs to doughnuts" that if any
horse beats the former stallion he will get n
record better than 2:1S, the second than
2;20 and the third better than 2:2j.

mile over the same track Saturday in :15,

The American Horse Breeder says;
every trainer in Vermont will be after n
young Gillg, or young something else, to
boat Tom Gillip's yearing record, 2;37 J
with, for champion donors usually scatter
from one year to another. Tom Gillig ought
to make the two-year-old that beats him ia
1898 run away trotting,n
The three stations now living which have
ter are Lord Russell, Harold sud Vatican,

Morrisville can turn out quite a number
of finely bred horses that are grand indi-
viduals, says correspondent. Ex-Gov.

Mambrino King, and Affective, by Al
lectus, are in fine condition, and both re-
markably spesdy on the snow. Barring ac-

2:30 list next summer, and Carleton for the
2:20 list. Trainer John Utton now has ~
horses in training. Some time last month
he received nine colts, from one to TIRES
years old, by Haldane, 1884. They are
grand lot and all are speedy. Among them
is Newmark, which took second premium as
a three-year old at the late national horse
show in New York city. He has fine,
pure gait. Haldane will certainly have ad-
ditions to his roll Of honor next season and
good judges set Howell, three-year-old
record 2:26t, down for 220 OF better. One
of the fastest three-yea olds in this section
is q fine black colt by Rare Ben, 2:26. This
colt can show better than 2:30 clip. and
never had any training till this tall.
