John n. Gentry and Robert y. 70 ne Ca~-
pnigaed-Trotters fer Europe.
Although tho report gained circulation when
Lewis q. Tewksbary purchased John II. Gentry
a few days ago that the king OF harness horses
would hereafter 30 driven on tho road. II Ia now
definitely settled that both Gentry cad his s:sbls
companion, Robert j.. are to be campaignod
next year. +. r. Bovine has signed q contract
to train the two ~king-pin PAGERS In 1897, en-
Gaging to give his entire attention to the
Tewksbury two.horse stable. Both horses
were taken TO Somerville. n. j." yesterday,
where they will be wintered. Robert J's
shoes have been pulled of and the blood-like
little Rolding will be turned out and treated to
n let-up for the first timo since the winter OF
1904. Bovine has already made some radical
changes In the bearing Of the ex-champton's
front feet. which he thinks will benefit the
horse. Gentry, who is as sound and clean as q
new-milled dollar, will be logged daily through
the wintcr on the country roads. Early in the
spring both PAGERS will be brought to Fleet
wood Park and there trained until the cam
paign opens in juno.
Horsemen will be surprised to learn that
Tewksbury expects to SEQ the geldinG oross the
two-minute line in advance OF the stallion. A
good many turfmen. including c. j. Hamlin.
have expressed tho belief that Robert j. has
seen his best days. but his new owner and his
present trainer think differently. Tewksbury
said yesterday that IL he were forced to part
with ono or tho other of his star PAGERS
he would say. without hesitation: Take
John r. Gentry" The chances are that the
two cracks will be harnessed to polo at
some time next year for a shy at the

X. ID. Stokes's fast mares. Miss Rita and Josie

the geldinK and the stallion could cover a mile
in 300 or better. 1t is generally conceded that
where two harness horses are suitably matched
they can go faster together than either can 70
