MEN AND HORSES.

After winning two races the first
of last week with Satin Slippers and
Maud Terrell, Alex Mckay started
them both again Friday and Satur-
day. Slippers secured two heats and
second money; Terrell was unplaced.
Patsy D., in the Hurricane Stock
Farm string, made her first bow in
the 2:45 pacing race at Bowling
Green, KY, last Friday. This mare
has shown every evidence of being
race mare in her work, and from the
way she stepped to the front in the
first heat, which she won with appar-
ent ease in 2:2O4, it looked as
though the fond hopes of her trainer
and driver would be realized. He
was doomed to disappointment, how
ever, as Patsy choked badly in the
second and third heats of the race,
caused no doubt from doubling her
tongue over the overcheck bit. She
was a good second in the final heat
after change had been made in the
bit. Patsy D., is by Masker, son of
Brown Hal, and will yet prove her
worth as race mare.
The Hermitage Stud of Nashville,
Tenn, has a great 2-year-old in the
gray colt Preston, by Ponce de Leon.
1t was Preston who drove the crack
Jupe out in 2:l7 at Rigby, and that
is not the only time that he has been
better than 2:20, although the time
of his second heat at Fleetwood
(2:2lA) is his record.
When j. j. Hamlin, the famous
Buffalo harness horse fancier, pur.
chased Robert j., he also secured the
dam of the great PAGER. He now
has three of her fOals. Geers has
driven the eldest, 2-year-old colt
mile in 2:2015. He thinks the
youngster could have gone in 2:lC
before the season closed, but Mr.
Hamlin told him to turn the col
out. He is by Rex Americas (2:1D
Hamlin says he would not part will
the colt for Robert j., who was sole
to L. j. Tewkesbury, the New Yorl
banker, recently.
1t would seem very appropriate
now that the great stallion John r
Gentry has secured the worlds rae,
record, that he should be fitted TO
one sensational mile against the tim,
record and then he retired for al
honorablesand long life in the stud
There is no doubt in the minds o
people VINO have seen this horse rae,
that on any day when he is in per
feet condition and has the advan
tage of a fast track he can wipe GU
all previous pacing records.

ington in 2:l92. This colt belong
to Mr.. Garth, Piedmont Farm

start in the Kentucky Futurity.
Another sensational green trottel
Laurel by Nephew, dam by Elec
tioneer; granddam thoroughbred
recently earned record of 2:13L i
California. She started green.
w. A. Collier of Memphis, owns
full sister to Kentucky Union 2:07L
A full sister to a distinguishe
horse is of course desirable property
but it is no dead certainty tina
she will prove the equal of tn
daughter of Aberdeen and Ken
lucky Central.
