(2:17 3-4), whose sensational campaign OF
1891, trained and driven by George Spear,

better known later on. Pitted against
the best horses out that season, Temple
Bar won eleven races in ten successive
weeks, his victorious career continuing
until Cleveland was reached, when the
trouble occurred which resulted in the
expulsion of owner, driver and horse.
The case was taken to the Civil Court
by DR.. Sale, who spent a fortune in con-
testing the decision rendered by the
National Trottng Association, but the
case was never settled.
After his enforced retirement Temple
Bar was placed in the stud, having been
for several seasons past leased to par
ties at Gilead. o.. who have him now.
