TRoTTING HORSE NEWS.
Complications az Philadelphia Growing Out
OF the New Law.

Unreasonable weather has lnterfered seriously
with tho work of the trotters and PAGERS in
training Mt Fleetwood as we'll as all other tracks
in tho vicinity of New York this spring. and the
horses are not yet moving along ut anything like
their best speed. There is apparently disposi-
tion, too on tho part of local trainers to give the
flyers fewer full miles ut speed than In former
years; at any rate, fast quarters and halves are
much more common and fast miles much less
numerous than ut this time last season.
Trainer Fred Noble now holds the track
ord for the season with both trotters and PAGERS,
although he has not cut loose In earnest with
any of the good ones In his string. On Saturday
the chestnut stallion Sterling, 2:l1&, n PAGER
that IL commonly believed to be capable OF Civ
Ing GIL Curry or any other horse In his class
hard race turned the track in 2:lT for Noble,
coming up the hill in l :o7 with apparent ease.
Many local horscmen would like to see the
sturdy son of IIarodson and Laura Will
lians start against Gil Curry in the 2:10
class ut Fleetwood two weeks hence, but his
trainer has decided to keep him in reserve for
the larger stakes of the later season. Noble also
let the fast trotting stallion Chester, 2:l III. step
an easy mile in 2:19, just to take the honors
away from his old charge, Dudley Olcott 2:lsii,
now in the stable of John Kelly, whose mile in
2:20 was tho best workout of the season at
Fleetwood UP to Saturday last.
Gulnare is improving rapidly for Trainer George
H. Martin. She was inclined to take hold and
trot over herself when sent to Martin couple
| OF weeks ago. but by driving her always with
light hand, her trainer has work ked noticeable
change in Gulnare. and she is now under per-
