If the weather is favorable next Saturday
1t is confidently expected that the largest
crowd ever seen in Barre will make the
Granite City Trotting Park their mecca
where John R. Gentry and " Robert j.,
kings of the turf, will trot against time,
and make an attempt to beat their present
low records. The palace car in which these
horses travel is marvel of luxury and the
outfit, apart from the cost of the horses,
represents an outlay Of over $4,000. The
colors of the stable are gold and black.
The body of the palace car is painted in
gold and lettered on the sides in black with
the names and records Of the king-pin
PAGERS and the monogram of their owner.
The two horses occupy roomy adjoining
stalls, heavily padded, in one end of the
car. In the center section are smaller stalls
Tor the two runners that Trainer Bovine
takes with him to serve as pace makers
when the horses start against time, and
four berths for the care takers who look
after Gentry" The Jay" and the gal
lopers. The other end Of the car parti
toned off from that occupied by the horses
and attnn0Qntq ia fttp6 n N Of q al nd
sleeping apartment for Bovine, his secre-
tary and the manager of the stable. These
quarters rival the stateroom of modern
sleeping car in luxurious fittings and fur
nlshlngs' The horse ,costumers, harness
makers and sulky builders have turned out
an equipment for the two great PAGERS thor
oughly in keeping with the palace car in
which they travel. The horseshoer who
has looked after the feet Of the champions
since they went into the Tewksbury stables
accompanies them through the circuit, and
on each track where the horses perform he
has his forge set up under tent ready to
set shoe at moments notice.
