Several we'll known admirers OF good
horses gathered on the training track on the
farm Of John Davidson, near Chesapeake
Citp, on Wednesday, the chief figure in the
group being Col. Sam Foard, OF Elktop.
The Colonel had right to be the chief figure
for it seems that he was putting up the speed
of both the first and last horse. In fact,
all the horses in the contest The dash OF
the day was between his noted "Christmas
Chimes and "Little Joe.' The Colonel ex-
pected Joe to win, and 30 did Ned Taylor,
who, they ssy, was ready to back him
against any horse in Elkton, Frank Brad
bury and his PAGER Ben to the contrary. But
Joe didn't win and the sight of his favorite
going to the rear drove the Colonel out of his
coat. 1t takes something warm to do that.
George Bennett drove Chimes to win, both
half in LII and a mile in 334. Tom Harlan
was steering Joe, but good driving failed to
save him.
