New York Trotters ne Detro't.
Horsemen who visited Fleetwood Park yestcr-
day witnessed the most notable performance OF
the season thus far on local tracks. Col. +. ".
Lawrence drove his four-year-old brown mare
Ambo out to the course. and without any prepa-
ration sent her n hnlf.mllc to road wagon in
l!ll, the first quarter In OBS. This Is the fastest
half yet reported, and what makes 1t mere notn-
bic Is the fact that the illly had not been started
up before this year. She 10 u daughter Of the
trottlnR stallion Warren, 2:20A, son Of Aristos,
and her dam was the CARL mare by pcarsall.
Col. Lawrence had the misfortune to lose the
dam Of his promising trotter last week. the
mare having died In foaling. The first mile
NJ the season below 2:30 was made last
week by the noted stallion MUnbars, 9:llS, who
has been at Fleetwood for sone time past, in
charge OF Miles Norton. Monbars gained his
record ms n trotter In 1892, when three years old.
He is now pacing, and Mt this gait Norton let
him step n mile in "!!oIa last Thursday. Fred
erick T. Stcinway's road mare. Addie S., by
Kentucky Wilkes, yesterday beat the mark set
by Monbars, pacing n mile In company with her
stable companion, Bessie r.. driven by Stein
way. in 2:31% and repeating in 2:asl6.
The crack PAGER Frank Apnu has arrived at
Fleetwood, and Is now taking his work to road
cart with "knapsack " Mccarthy behind him.
The horse that last year beat Robert j., Joe
Patchcn. and John II. Gentry was an object of
much interest to visitors yesterday. Mccarthy
drove him Il quarter on Saturday in O:34.
Among the horscmen at Fleetwood yesterday
was John NJ. Stewart OF Kansas city. who is
here with his well.known trotter Tlyland T.,
2:07A. Stewart says he will campaign no har-
ness horses this year, but will manage a three
months running meeting at Kansas City.
A movement Is on foot looking to the forma-
ton OF n central organization which shall pre-
scribe uniform rules and regulations for the
management Of horse shows and exercise a sort
OF supervisory control over the various local
exhibitions. At present there ia no uniform
standard of excellence for the guidance Of either
the Judges or the exhibitors. Many misunder-
standings have resulted at some of the recent
shows, notably the one at Boston, where protests
and chickering's were of daily occurrence. It's
now proposed to remedy matters by forming n
governing body on the lines Of the National
Trotting Association, with a Board Of Appeals. a
standing committee on rules, and such other
subordinate Boards as may be found necessary
to provide for the proper administration OF
affairs.
