WELLER'S NOON
LIGHT TRIAL
steamplough Burrows a Nice
Quarter There VIII be a
Bicycle Race.

Nothing important in the way of work
outs took place at the track yesterday,
but today and tomorrow should witness
some speedy trials
| Steampiough and Lustre worked heats
together in 2:s6 and 225 The former
horse, of course. was responsible for
these figures In the second heat Lus-
tres time was 2:2si2. Hogan drove him
and Judd plotted the plough horse The
black PAGER ratified off the last quarter
iof the second heat in 80. He was then
given a cooling-out heat in 2:51l2 and
appeared to finish slightly lame
I If Steamplough be entered for the
free-for-ali against Waldo j. local race
goers will be treated to horse race
which viii linger in their memories. He
is the pniy horse here capable of taking
the white ghosts measure and it is
10 be hoped that his name will appear
among the entries for the big harness
event.
Edna G was driven by John Callahan
| in 2.46, 2:S2 and 2:36 She is a nice mare
and has improved wonderfully since be-
ing put in training. Her disposition is
admirable and she promises in time to
acquire a very creditable mark.
Dixie Land and Waterfall galloped six
furiongs in l:24. The black gelding looks
very well but the Watercress colt. while
vastly improved in appearance since last
| here, seems 10 lack the strength neces-
sary for a bruising race
! Weller worked a moonlight trial but
as he flashed under the wire a cloud
passed over the moon and it was impos-
sible to discern the figures on the family
clock, which was requisitioned for the
occasion. One observer. who says he
was there. declares that the horse went
to the half in 81 and was there Joined
/ by Tom Leper on a bicycle who, equip
ped with a stable lantern played the
part of teaSer 10 the Princes racer until
the wire was reached. This same indi-
ividual takes oath that the sorrel circum-
navigated the course in 1:44l2. The dark
ness was bewildering, however. and he
may have erred.
| On Wednesday Venus was sent a half
mile Just at the flush of dawn The
chronometer registered 80 "a. These
early trials are gaining in popularity. and
| it pays the conscientious horse watcher
to never go to bed Such lot of infor-
nation is to be gathered from them, es-
pecialIy when the horse is taken direct
from his stall to the track and cut loose
without the formality of warming up
gallop. One thing may be said in their
favor, however. There might be an I'M
expected eclipse of the sun on raee-day
and the runner would then be inesti-
mably benefited by having previously
raced in the dark.
