More than a score of Worcester
horses, having records of 2:3O or bet
ter, took part in the avenue sport yes
terday afternoon.
These, with the number of fast horses
that have never been tracked nor
given fast marks, with the almost in
Vulnerable single bitches whose occu-
pants made no attempt to move faster
than a ten-mile-an-h hour shot, and
with the numerous private turn-outs,
gave TO the avenue the iveliest ap-
pearance thus far this winter.
And yet, by no means all of the fast
horses of Worcester-those that have
fast reoords-were on the avenue. A
glance at the list below shows to
Worcester hoTseman that there were
almost as many absent as present. In
any list of Worcesters tried and true
road horses, come 20 mind the names

of others equally fast They were
among the absentees.
There was plenty of speeding. but
nearly every road driver seemed to be
going entirely Independent of every one
else, so in that way there were very
few decisive heats considering the
large hunner Oh goou ones on hand'

cltement OF the snoW-path, for during
the afternoon no less then three run
Always, all OF which were wholly I'M
sNoldaOle, disturbed the usual sereni-
" OF the ward. Fortunately nobody
was injured, although there were one
or two rather narrow escap pes.
About the middle Jf the afternoon a
we'll known frequenter OF the road was
driving his cross matched pair. a black
and a white, down the avenue at speed,
and, before he realized it, was the cen
ire of attraction to everybody near the
finish end. With his pair he was trail
ing down behind a punch of second
raters and when near Dr.. Frost's barn
one of the horses broke and the other
quickly followed suit. The driver soon
found that he was RAPIDLY losing con-
the bits in their mouths and dashed
across Pleasant street and off towards
New Worcester at a Salvador clip. The
man pulled as hard as he could bur
with no appreciabla success until On
