recent issues of your interesting Saturday

OF horses and their trainers. what they are
doing and their programmes A. far a. they
/ have them mapped out for the coming

Now II you will pardon me would Ike
10 take your readers with me on an imag-
mary trip to Wyman park. Ellsworth.
Here you will find as pretty race course
As may be found in any small city IN
Maine and which the denizens OF Hancock
county may well be proud of We ind
here a fine lot OF horses owned by A. w.
Ellis, of Ellsworth Falls and looked after
! by careful trainer. Joseph d. Lamb. who
is always pleased TO show his string and
give information.
AT the head OF the list stands the beau
tiful bay mare. with black points, Lilly
Mack, 2.24 IL, by Auctioneer. dam Old
4 Sue by Williamson's Belmont out OF 40
imported Spanish runner OF great note.
Mr. Ellis has just purchased this fine little
mare Of Albert Burriil of ST. Adams al 4
I good round price and she Is well known
all through New England a. game little
winner. Last season In six weeks after
weaving her foal she got her record OF

4 will be csmpaigned this season and her
! mark will most likely be lowered.

I Now you come 10 Bonnie. seal brown

I He is one OF the hsndsomest gentlemen $
/ drivers 10 New England. Last season he
started In eight races, winning six nrst
moneys, one third and one unplaced. AT
( Pembroke he was winner In q race with
1 such fast ones as Lady Beckman and Penn
4 broke, the wonderful Jay Bird colt. which
I everyone picked for first place, making his
record Pa "a He will be started this
4 season aud no doubt will chip corner OF
I his record.
I Next We find the handsome roam gelding
Z Leader" six years old, l6 hands high and
weighs about OBS lbs. He was sired by
Z LcuD, uhll Dy ne -
uneducated but last season was for the
first time hitched TO . sulky and reeled of
Il mile without break or exertion 10 so
/ This season, If started. it is expected to

Ia the next stall we nnd the three year
/ old bay gelding Sicolin by the great Dawn
( R., dam Lucy by Hambletonian Knox. He
+ stands l6 hands high and weighs $50 lbs
{ Mr.. Ellis, who is a thorough horsemsn.
( has made splendid choice In selecting
Trainer j. ID. Lamb to look after his string
and If he has the same success this season
IS he had last he had better be watched.
as last year out OF l2 starts he won first
money in s. He has In years past been
the owner OF some fast horses, one OF
which was Oscar Wilde, with which he
challenged the province of New Bruins
wick of two ear-olds and won the race
and distanced the field in the third heat.
He also was the owner of Lady Bright,
which many OF your horsenen may re-
member. Benjamin +. made his trial rec
ord of 225 in 80 with Mr. Lamb holding
the ribbons.
Twelve starts, eight frsts, two seconds,
one third and one unplaced is the way il
sums up for two virtually untried horses,
and with the valuable addition Of such .
fast and well-bred mare as Lilly Mack 1t
seems as though Mr.. Ellis should be heard
from this season.
