mare IN 1897 and early last spring was
highly thought OF by Cannon. bur went
wrong and was not started during the
season. Maggie Carroll who is ouite
small, but one of the most highly finished
and beautiful mares in training. began

hind the money but once. and then on ac-
In shoeing. All OF her races were over
haif-mile tracks, and over good mile
ring next season Cannon looks for the
daughter Of Jack Dawson to trot close
to PIP. Ella Leo started out with a
mark OF 2:37 IL and was taken through
the same circuit with Maggie Carroll
out OF ten starts she got first money
once, second six times, third one, and
was unplaced once. Her record Is only
2:3o, but she was a close second a num-
Der OF times where heats were trotted
close TO 2:20, and in 1893 she is likely to
prove a real good one in her class During
four years past the Walton Farm and
Cannon have proven quite a strong COM
bination, having marked fourteen horses
on $3.50 and better and reduced the re-
cord OF Catherine Leyburn from 220 70
2:14. Later this mare was sold for ex-
port and afterwards won a number OF
