Owner of Barney, 2: oS 3-4.-Ham-
ilton Brock, the St. Johnsbury horseman,
wasn Boston recently and brought back
with him the fast stopper, Barney, 2: 0S
y. The Boston Globe says: Barney
was bought last spring in Kentucky by
Ed Mills for Chauncey Sears, and when
the PAGER was put in Ham Brock hands
the knowing ones said he would only be
wasting time. The fast horse wore an
iron head-piece that looked something
like a blacksmth's filling vice and had
the reputation of doing just about as he
pleased with any trainer that sat behind
him. Brock went to work to gain the
confidence of the much-abused horse, and
soon discarded all the severe rigging
At first, especially when he began torace
Barney would make handful for the
veteran, but before the season was over
Brock and Barney were good friends and
knew how to work together.
Last fall Chancey Sears sold Barney at
Cavanaughs, and the PAGER fell into the
hands OF Joe MiddIeby, who admitted
that he only bought because the horse
was sold at less than he thought his
value was, Mr. Middleby held him for
an advance in the market and Brock
gave $500 for Barney last week. There
are PAGERS in New England that beat Bar
uey, but il they all start as many times
overthe same kind OF tracks, for the same
sized purses, there will be very few, if
any, that will tote up better average
than he at the end of the season."
