De campaigned in the southern Kansas
circuit, as we'll as other circuits that
includes Terre Haute and Galesburg.
The work that has been done condi-
tloning horses az the Wichita track
viii soon begin TO show for itself. as
the time for holding the great meetings
throughout the west and southwest is
drawing TO a close. when horses. own
ers and drivers. viii all begin 10 put
their best foot forward. There are
many trials and immergencies TO con-
tend with. those who have never had
any experience or experimental with
trotters as a business specula ton know
very little OF the many cOntendencIes
that befrOnt a driver or owner the last
few moments left him 10 arrange for
the battle OF supremacy OF horse-fiesh
upon the track. HOnors fall and rise
hard in winning as we'll as loosing.
With loOsing horse goes out the
last spark Of light and plenty OF money
goes with II. Any one owning a horse
with promising speed has TO back his
money against hope. and that hope is
very seldom realized. After weeks and
months OF hard work and no limit TO
expense, even when your horse is seen
a. the wire first, the anxiety has only
just begun; record after record goes
down until the top of your favorites
speed has been reached and from there
on your hopes are transferred 10 others
ON and on goes the weary way OF the
owner OF the trotter and the PAGER To
visit the track OF Wichita II would al
most occur 10 the visitors mind that
nothing but success and reward await
ed the starting Of the many specimens
OF pedigreed horse-flesh, every driver
and trainer has the true feeling OF
being the posseSsor of the only winners
that could be selected by the best call
cuiated horse-f1esh judgment, TO poke
their noses under the wire as the win
ner in their many classes. There
little doubt in the minds of many who
know. but what Wichita will be cred
itably represented as we'll as entering
horses in the various circuits that will
return with owners pockets filled with
gold and silver. and the hard worked
drivers and assistants, covered with
the honors we'll earned, for their labor
and devotion 10 the horses placed in
their care.
A reporter for the Eagle paid a visit
to the track yesterday, calling upon
drivers and horses, patting both upon
the back and speaking words of en-
encoura cement 10 both, telling what
to its readers the results Of the races
that they will start in. and giving
full account OF the winning of each
horse as they go down the Kansas cir
cult, as well as outside circuits. Many
pleasant chats with the various train
ers and drivers was held between them
and the reporter.
