HORSE NOTES.
Under the management of Mr.. w. ].
Carter, of Richmond, starter of the races,
and Mr.. w. C. Mackin. manager of the
Speed Department of the Fair, affairs in
the judges stand were conducted &C
cording to rule this week and with that
irmness and decision for which these two
officials have established reputation
Mr.. Carter is member of the staff of
the Richmond Times. He is an ex-
perienced horseman. and has written
more about North Carolina and Virginia
horses than any other newspaper man
now living. He has the critical eye of
a Judge and knows the life-history and
pedigree of every prominent horse on the
turf today.
Mr.. McMackin is a lover of fine horses
and believes in keeping them in first
class condition. The pride of his stable
is the grand looking big bay stallion Pat
terson Wilkes by Overstreet Wilkes, the
sire of Tacomis, 2:14A, from Mary An
derson, a choice representative of the
famous champion family. Patterson
Wilkes is over 16 hands high and must
weigh close to 1900 pounds, but while
mastodon in size he is handy and has
perfect manners at all times and is a
fearless, rough driver and road horse.
Horses like Patterson are scarce now,
and this full, big son of Overstreet
Wilkes is justly priced by his owner.
There has been much talk here this
week. among horsemen, of the great run
ming race won and record broken by
"Charentus," Wake county horse raised
on fuckers "Waverly Farm" near Raj
eigh.
In the mile and a quarter running race
over a circular track at the opening
meeting of the Empire City Jockey Club
at Yonkers. on the 22nd inst, Charentus
beat Imp known as the "black whirl-
wind, and thez winner ofeso many races
and in this winning the race in the fast
time of 2:04. and broke the worlds rec
ord. Charentus is well remembered in
Raleigh, having been bred and raised on
the Tucker 'Waverly Farm" near Raj
eigh. Although he has been on the track
only short time he has grown to be a
noted racer and the winner of prizes
estimated at $50, 200. The sending out
from Raleigh of this great horse is anoth-
er evidence of enterprise and successful
farming by our Wake county farmers,
and his brilliant career is of especial
interest to our people.
