Charles Weiland, n well-known member of
tho Driving Club of New York, yesterday
bought tho noted PAGER Blue Sign. ":0Sil. from
Ed DE Ccrnea. Blue Sign has been driven on
the road at Philadelphia for some time by De
Cernca's son. and no has the name of being the
fastest road horse in the Quaker City. Weiland
will place the horse in the hands OF Elmer
Stevens to train and campaign. Blue Sign in
1892 was among the best PAGERS of a great year
