The Northwestern Horseman, print
ed at Minneapolis, in speaking of the
fast ones of the harness brigade owned
In the Northwest says, in regard to
the ones which are well known in this
section:
The fastest performer among the pa
GERS owned in this section is Vera Ca
pei the fleet daughter of Wilton, sire
OF Lady Wilton, whose record of 2:07R
and whose performance last season
among the great sidewheelers stamp
neT one Oh llt kTtdltSl the
Northwest. Her home is at Oakland
farm. Menomonie, Wis.
Next In point OF speed at the pace
Is Rachel, the phenomenally fast and
consistent race daughter of Baron
Wilkes. owned by Marcus DAILY of Ana
conda, Mont. She promises to startle
the free-fo for-all brigade next year.
To the southwark. in the Hawkeye
state, the invincible Fidol and the
game Strathberry are dividing honors
and resting on laurels richly earned.
They are unquestionably two of the
worlds greatest PAGERS.
Minnesota takes special pride in the
consistent performances of Badge. a
home horse, by a Northwestern sire.
Silas Wright. II the heats were split
and the race for blood, then Badge
could be counted upon to show the
right colors, and they were generally
under the wire first His record,
2:OS%, is not thought TO be the limit of
his speed. He is owned at Rochester.
Another phenom was sprung on an
unsuspecting public by the owners of
Afrite, a Wisconsin breeder. and he
reaped a rich harvest OF shekels I'm
giving his horse a record of 2:0SA IL
is said of this horse that he was scared
into pacing. IL that is true, he must
have been badly frightened, for he has
been running away from everything
in the pacing races in which he has
started.
Leaving the sidewheelers a. moment
and taking up the trotters, we recall
the splendid achievements Of Onoqua
the fastest trotting mare of the North
west, with a mark of 20SL This great
Hawkeye mare is owned and has been
drained and developed at Independ-
ence. Her winnings last season were
$500.

west, the holder of the stallion record
for the fastest three CONSECUTIVE heats.

but always seems to be right for a
good race whenever called upon His
performance at Hedrick. where he low
cred his record. made as II was under
unfavorable conditions and without
having had but a short time for condi~
tioning, is all but marvellous. Lock-
heart has son in the list this year,
with mark of 2.29%.
Baron Dillon, 2:12. the bright partic-
ular star of Minnesota, is owned by
Henry ii. Budget OF Long Prairie. His
season on the turf this year was one
long procession of triumphs. and he
met few opponents who gave him the
sort of race which made him accent
less than first place. He started I'm IL
races and was unpiaced but twice. His
winnings were ss.225. the largest sum
won in races by any other horse last
season. except his half-brother. oak
land Baron, winner of the great Ken
tucky futurity.
