Horse Notes.

Seven years ago the Detroit Driving Club
established what was known as the Mer'
chants and Manufacturers stake, an event
of annual occurrence, and OF guaranteed
value of $4,000. 1t was for trotters of the
2:24 class, and ever since its inception has
been the piece dc resistance of the Blue
Ribbon meeting, and truthfully speaking the
greatest trottlng attraction on the American
turf, during its entire period Of existence.
The Blue Ribbon of 1896, which opens
July IS, will witness the Inauguration of
the Chamber of Commerce stake for PAGERS
of the 2:24 class, which is intended by the
management to be made, in time, OF equal
value with the NJ. and M. This year the
Chamber of Commerce stake is for $4,000,
and at that will be the richest event of the
year for horses of the lateral gait. The
entries for this stake closed with 20 nomi-
nations, indicating that the event is destined
to be most popular with horsemen.
All but five of the horses named were
green PAGERS without records, which left
some doubt as to the quality of the contes-
tants and extreme uncertainty as to the
speed that would be required of the winner.
But at this time, nearly month before the
race is to come off, there have been develop
ments which warrant the belief that the
Chamber of Commerce stake will be one Of
the brilliant contests of the meeting.

other candidate, won race over half mile
track In Ohio in 2:16A, while out at Lin
coin, Neb., two other PAGERS entered in this
stake; McGinry and Sherman Clay, took
records of 2:l44 and 2.14 respectively.
Not one of these four horses had record at
the opening of the campaign. The outlook
therefore, for great race is extremely
bright.
