Woodford c., 2l2A, the crack road horse
that took David b., 2:O9A. into camp at
Speedway Park last spring, has been en-
tered in the 2:13 race at the Goshen meet
ing on Aug. "a He will have to meet such
fast campaigners as Kate McCracken.
2:12A; Prince Lavalard, any; Preston.
2:13A; Saint George, 2:l21a; Hilda S..
2:15L, and West Wilkes, 2:13%. Entries
to the number Of l57 have been received for
the ten races at the meeting. Although
the course is probably the only half-mile
one in the country where hoppled PAGERS
are barred, the entry list for the meeting Is
one OF the best and largest of the season.
The Abbot's possible chance to wrest the
champion trotting record from Alix, 203%,
is coming to be topic OF frequent talk
among followers Of harness racers. Horses
usually improve materially as the campaign
advances, provided they are not over
worked, and The Abbot had cut his re-
cord down to 2:0IA before the end OF July,
showing 200 clip at the end OF the mile'
| some OF his admirers believe he may gee
| down below 1904 in September or October.
| Trainer Ed. Geers is reported as having
| said that he could drive The Abbot milo
| in POS or better right now. All his races
| thus far have been easily won, and the
| gelding Is said to be improving all the
time.
| The American stallion Col. Kuser recently
lowered the European trotting record to
| 2:lOla and in doing so defeated probably the
| strongest field Of harness horses ever seen
| outside of this country. The race took place
| at Vienna and the beaten horses included
| Que Allen, 209&, by Champion Medium;
Athanio, 2:lO, by Junior; Cut Glass, 2lOhs
| by Onward and Legene, 212ia, by Mountain
| Prince. This performance is nearly second
| faster than Col Kusers American record
| made at Boston in 1885. The new champion
| of Europe is brown stallion, nine years olds
| by Stranger, the son OF Goldsmith MAID
| 2:l4 and his dam is Ines by Jay Gould,
| 2:211a. He was bred by Henry N. smith at
the Fashion Stud Farm, Trenton, and was
| named in honor OF well-known horse fan
cier Of that city. NJ. Victor Silberer, editor
| of the Vienna Sport Xcttung, now owns the
| crack stallion.
Dark Night, sire OF the coming PAGER.
| Searchight, 2:03i4, was taken to Europe
few years ago. and has since been kept in the
stud Although the stallion Is strictly trot-
ting bred, being by Alcyone. 2:27A, out OF
MONDAY, by Saint Elmo, and she out of the
dam by Jay Eye See, 2l0, his colts are near
| ly all natural PAGERS This does not suit the
| European horsemen, who look upon all
"sidewheelers" as being the 5O-cent silver
dollars Of the horse world and they want to
resell the sire OF Searchlight to an American
breeder. Apropos OF Searchlight not a few
circuit followers believe the horse can pace
a mile in 200 or thereabouts. Some horse
men say he will start favorite over both
| John r. Gentry, 2:0015. and Joe Patchen,
| 2:OlA in the coming race at Rochester.
William II. Fearing's Newminster Stud,
adjoining Pierre Lorillards breeding farm at
Jobstown, n. j.. is to be sold, together with
the select collection OF trotters. The New
minister Stud has been noted for many years
as the birthplace OF thoroughbreds and har-
ness horses, scores OF winners having come
from there. Before Fearing ceased to raise
| thoroughbreds he bred the Hambleonian-
Star trotting mare Dolly Star to imported
Moccasin, and she gave birth to filly
which, in turn. was mated with the cham
pion trotting stallion Jay Gould 2;2l q pro-
ducihg the now noted brood-mare Sahdal.
Although the latter died from accidentai

Sandal. is now five years old, and is fast.
Mahogany, by Hayonre Prince, 2;2lh, Is now
at the head OF the Newmtnster stud. He is
handsome, powerfully built stallion OF the
park horse type and is the size OF some pro-
minent yearlings. When E. X. BOVINE cam
paigned Mahogany in 1894 he started eight
times. and was first or second In every race,
