The colors of Captain S. S. Brown
We're formerly very familiar to Eastern
racegoers, as he used to race extensive
ly in this section, but of late years he
has confined his turf operate to the
West. Captain Brown is Pittsburg
millionaire. and he has decided to again
center the lists in the East. With this
idea in view. he has engaged Joe Red
mon to take charge of his horses next
season. Mr.. Brown intends purchasing
number of high class horses. After
the meeting at Newport closes Mr.. Red
mon will take charge of Troubeam and
the rest Of Mr.. Browns horses and will
take them and a number of yearlingS
to Louisville, where they will winter.
After they have been tried out in the
spring the string will be shipped East.

many people wonder whether the taste
for trotting in England is not below
what it should be. This same difficulty
faced our English trotting cousins some
four or five years ago, as each club
wanted to monopolize the trottins to
its own use: there We're not enough to
satisfy them, but too many it seems
to satisfy the public and too many for
the owners of trotting stock. Not that
there is not a sufficient number of trot-
ters; there are more now and better
ones than ever. since the United States

trotters are in the hands of a very
limited number of owners, and more
over, they often win the first class
handiCaps, whereas events for small
owners fail to remunerate them and
they receive no encouragement at the
bands of the various clubs where they
enter their horses.
