THE HORSE WORLD.

Steppers in This vi

CONSULTATION AND ADVICE FREE TO ALL.

Tuesday morning was the best day yet
for speeding the horses at the driving
park. The air was refreshingly invigorat-
ing and there was gentle breeze which
served as an inspiration to both horses
and drivers. Gen. Sherwood, Aaron
Houser, of Barryville, the Lowenstine
Bros, Jake Breem, of New Berlin, and
hosts of others were on hand to see the
cracker jacks step. The bench on the hill
was filled with spectators and carriages
were on hand everywhere filed with jolly
equine connoisseurs
Morford went at Max T. the year old
black gelding by Piloton, early, giving
him the benefit of three ripping miles.
The first was with Karl K, 2:2S u, of
the Welty string. The little black by
Pilot Medium captured the heat in 1887.
The mile was trotted by the two mention
cd and paced by the Indiana pacing mare
Mary S. The latter had no trouble what.
ever in beating the diagonal fellows in
1888, although Karl X. stuck to her like
a leech every inch of the way. Not once in
the mile did Armstrong let her all out,
and there were numerous speculations as
to how fast Ed. Haymaker's ''find" in the
Hoosier state could have gone, had it been
necessary for her to do so. She is as steady
MS an eight day clock and is gated like a
veritable machine of steel. Some of the
boys will be sending Mr.. Haymaker to
Indiana after more side. wheelers, If Mary
keeps a-going.
Patoche and Lady Harrison had lively
tussle for q mile. The Prnceps mare
goes in a machine, while the Lady wears
a seven ounce shoe and two ounce Col
umbia toe weight There is but little
difference in their records, acquired last
year. 1t seems us though the Welty mare
is going better than she did under Abe
Johnson's tutelage last summer, but still,
she couldn't beat Patoche when they
reached the grand stand feature of the
drive. 1t was, however, very fast mile
-2:27.
President Welty distributed the drivers
season tickets out at the track on Tues
day. They are neat and artistic and bear
future evidence that there isn't any hay
seed in the hair of the new Driving Park
Company's officers. Everything about
this new organization is strictly up to
date. Canton is to be congratulated.
Hasty, 2:33H, b. m. (6) by Hotspur
Chief, that Asa Moses brought from Gal
ion something over week ago, is good
one. She stepped mile before being
turned out last fall in 2:25H, but she will
not be started up before the dog days
come
Grover Cleveland the Massillon horse,
continues to pace like the wind. He is
the best horse owned within the memory
of the oldest settler in that town. Thirty
days more and hell be able to step mile
in 2:25.
Columbia Belle, b. m. (6) by Prince
Columbia, 2;20, dam by Endfield, 2;29,
sire of the dam of Gambrel, 2:10 4 and
30 others, has been bred to Macolm
Wilkes This is the cross recommended
by Mr.. "Jeers, " known all over the couu-
try as "the silent man from Tennessee. "
Jim Fry is handling Fanny Allies for
Lowenstine Bros. She worked out a heat
with Black Cecil (3) in $3.50, pretty close
up. Fanny is good gated and has head
that is divine Mr. Fry also looks after
his humming horse, Pinkamink,
"Pinky" as the boys call him, has been
n mile in 2:S4, pacing, but at present is
somewhat laid up with bruised knee.
Still he can go on three legs and beat lots
Of them. Jim swore off driving in races
last fall, but his oath was a trifle like
Rip Van Wrinkles in the play He has
forgotten, doubtless, or else the old time

denly returned TO him. But he's a good
teamster, just the same

tween the Cook filly, Black Cecil and the
bay Relding, Billy, 2:4l, in repeat.
Black Cecil is tiny little thing that can
trot like the wind. They scored up very
fast with the bay gelding at the pole.
Presently the little black crept ahead OF
the big fellow and took the inside. Thus
they trotted to the half, and then Billy's
steerer went after the hoppled mare on
the first and second turns. Heaven how
that old gelding. did move down the Sack
stretch--and the little pony fell back to
get her breath. Billy trotted on glib Lly to
the home streach and then heard little
quartet of feet coming after him like a
hailstorm. The little black mare was
after him, They made grand finish
under the whips and the heat was dead
