Curious Relation OF Age TO the High
Speed OF the $40 Class.

Six %trotters have TO their credit ten winning
heats or exhibitions against time In @:i0 and
better. Four OF these. Alix, Fantasy, Nancy
Hanks, and Kentucky Union. are mares; one,
Azote. Is a gelding. and one. Directuin. is u
stallion. The leading PAGERS are Geldings and
stations, but the leading %trotters are mares.
More stations have trotted In 2:1O than
either mares or peldings. but their perform.
ances have not covered so great n period Of
time nor have they been so meritorious. Ten Of
the fast %trotting stations wero able to step but
q single mile within the 2:1O line. The stat.
lions and geldings outnumber the mares two to
one. and yet 1873 OF all 2.i0 miles are credited
TO the mares as against 1875 miles for tho stall
lions and Reldings.
