WONDERFUL oUIDsLeSS PAGER.

One of the most wonderful horses In
the world is AlbatrOss, the guideless
PAGER.
Albatross is handsome animal to
look at, and his intelligence is almost
human. He does not need driver, but
will pace on any track and mind the bell
on the judges stand every time 1t Is
sounded.
At Risby two weeks ago AlbatrOss
paced half mile without q skip or
break In 80 IL seconds, and he went to
the quarter pole in 2S IA seconds.
This would be wonderful perform
snce for any PAGER living, but when 1t Is
considered that Albatross did 1t without
any driver TO urge or direct him, this
performance can be considered nothing
less than phenomenal.
Although Albatross has very low
record for mile he Is rarely sent TINS
distance on account Of physical DISABLE
ity. One often hears OF people who have
a portion Of their windpipe removed,
and silver tube inserted In its place,
but did you ever hear OF the delicate
operation being performed on q horse!
Well, it was done on Albatross when he
was q colt In order to save his life, and
the operation WAS entirely successful.
The wonderful PAGER apparently SUI
fers no inconvenience from breathing
through silver tube unless he 10 driven
a mile better than 2:l0, and then he Is
apt to show signs Of distress.
As half mile performer Albatross Is
| in a class all by himself, and he is con-
sidered to be the most wonderful horse
alive.
He has been secured by the New Eng
land Fair mana cement at great expense,
and will be seen on the Rigby track
every day during the fair.
