Marion Mills. who goes for records with

beautiful One OF her poculiarities is
that she will not speed her best before n

sha is pacing for money or for fun.
In her exhibition she wears nothing but
a surcingle. bridle, overdraw and sido
checks She is directed in her performance
by the starters beil She starts, stops and
increases her speed according 10 the
strokes. She goes up to tho starting point
and scores TO tho wire just as II she were
driven.

Instant she will whirl and try it again.
The moment the word "go" Is given she
shoots away like a rocket, and when tho
wi!e Is finished she will come back To the
judges stand. look up as III 20 ask IL every
thing Is . X and then faoo the stand as

She Is trained for her work just as other
horses are trained to trot and pace. Her
handler bitches her in n sulky, jogs and
speeds her just as other Rront racers are
handled. In sulky Marion is very
bad mare To score In Held OF horses,
