A Rettpr Horse Than Ever

A crowd was out at the track this
morning TO see the phenomenal
PAGER, Rowdy Joe, 2:0S, take little
fast work. Considering that the horse
has not been tracked since early last
fall and has had only light road exer-
else last winter and this spring, he
surprised all who saw him. Dr.Haw
kins sent him an easy half in 1:05, the
last quarter of which he paced in %
seconds, feat no other horse in Mis-
souri, or the West can do this early.
He could have gone the quarter in p
seconds for the asking. 1t is admitted
by nearly all the horsemen that Row
dy Joe is the fastest harness horse in
the world, and in good hands this
year will break the record.
For SALE-The furniture, fixtures
and lease of so room hotel in Mis-
souri, town of 5000 inha bitants. Ad-
dress r. d. WORRELL,
