During the Fasig- Upton sale last
month a rumor was circulated that
George Kercham had bought the fast
bay trotting ge!ding, Henry S., that
was thought to have had a mortgage on
the Merchants and Manufacturers
$4,000 stake at Detroit last year, but
pulled up lame after a warming-up
mile before the race was called and was
not started. When Ketcham was asked
about the deal he said he had received
price on the horse and the chances
We're he would complete a trade for
him. Charley Thompson, in whose sta
tle Henry S. is located, at Gutenberg.
N. j., said that he was going all right
and should be a great race horse the
coming season. If the deal is consum-
mated, Henry S. will be campaigned in
the stable with Cresceus.-Breeder and
Sportsman.

In letter to Turf, Field and Farm,
]. Malcolm Forbes, the Boston million
| aire horse owner, says: Il See that
some of the papers are trying to push
the professional judge question to the
front. In theory it would be all right
but in practice you could not get the
men who are honest and at the same

pressure would be brought and how the
professional judges, travelling through
the circuit and living with the drivers
and the pool sellers. would find it al
most impossible to act independently
Under the present system We Gave seen
had blunders in judgment, but through
the grand circuit, at least, I believe,
the stand has been very generally hon
est. At any rate, under the present
system the standard on the trotting
tracks has improved very much in the
past twenty years, and I think we had
better leave we'll enough alone. One
can stand losing race on It's merits,
but as soon as I feel that the judges
and the starter are working in favor
Of any interest rather than fair play,
will stop racing"

| 1t Is said on good authority that
Vance Nuckols, of Cleveland, VIII cam
paign Coney, 2:02A, this year, and if
he does, the Cleveland trainer will
probably ride about as close to the two
| minute mark as any man in the BUSH
ness. Nuckols never trains very many
horses, but the few he does train gets
F., about as good care as it is possible for
! horses to get. Nuckols is also a very
| clever driver, as he showed the Grand

! got some of the money in about every
race in which he started Tom Nolan

lest PAGERS ever seen, and it is quite
possible that he will materially reduce
his record during the coming horse
season.-Buffalo Horse World.

gen, 2:O6A, out on the snow path one

was easily boss of the road. He caught

his impressive way of going and sup

| Although the sale. of thoroughbreds
from the farm of the late Marcus DAILY
realized $4,000 for the estate of the
Montana breeder, it is a significant fact
| that his heirs have concluded to keeI
the trotting department of the farm in
World. From this it is evident that
the heirs to the Daily millians regard the
breeding of trotters as more profitable
than the breeding of runners. Probably
| no breeder of thoroughbreds ever gave
more attention to them than did Mr.
| Day, and his success was exceptionally
great. but as means of earning divi-
dends on the capital invested, it is evil
