RACING AND DRIVING ON THE ICE
The past week has been quite busy not
withstanding some OF the days have been
very cold good many colts and young
sters tried their speed over one OF the Dest
tracks ever laid out. The following are
few that ] noticed.
+ b. Holmes. proprietor Of the Silver Lake
House. shows the black two-year- old stall
lion. Audal by Aland, a son OF Adrian
/ Wilkes. the sire Of Roy Wilkes, 2:06l, and
more than 90 others below 2:3O. The dam
Of Andal. Daisy Boone, is by Daniel Boone
1856, a son OF Hambletonian 10. Here IS
/ breeding Ia the purple sure. Andal Is a
square trotter and in the language OF Mon
+ roe Salisbury when looking at Direct, 200,
/ .sThe little black rascal viii some day beat
us ALL" Look out for Landlord Holmes
and black Andal.
/ Elisha Flowers shows a fine, large,
chestnut two-year-old tilly by Morgan
| Wilkes and through the dam, Bradlaugh
/ has put in a little speed. We are looking
/ for Lishe to show in front with his old
/ time cheer.
Fred P. Aiken shows the two-year-old
/ bay flly. Polly Wilkes, by John M.
! Wilkes, 2:24l, dam by Black Diamond.
! This young miss is trotter and shows
the rapid motion Of her sire. Fred has
weanling, an own sister, one OF the best 10
look at ever raised in Barnard.
Chester Cady shows the grey hlly, HUI
da Wilkes, by John NJ. Wilkes, dam BY
Bradlaugh. Hulda is a trotter and is look
ed upon as one OF the best prospects IN
town. She can force John M. in spots up
to his limit. Whoever rides after this
mare will know he is going some; We
look for Hulda and Chef to lead the
Geo. Il. Wilson shows the bay trotting
colt, st. Regis, by Bradlaugh, dam by
Kent j560. Some say Bradlaugh colts TO
show much speed must pace, but whoever
drives up alongside Of st. Regis may think
differently.
j.. ID. Reagan shows the bay pacing geld
ing colt, Byron, by Bradlaugh. b. Q. Hath
orn, the owner, being too busy replacing
his burnt house to drive, lets Leo hold
the reins. Byron is a solid bay without
any white, always ready any and every
time TO show his speed.
We look for this colt to win some races
If the tack holds good.
Mr.. Reagan also shows his own pacing
gelding by Bradlaugh. This colt is
handsome bay 1913 or 16 hands, one OF the
most snowy colts driven on the ice this
winter, win be fast.
John A. Moore shows the pacing mare, I
Tinnie ID, by Bradlaugh, dam, Tinnie g /
Z.26l, trotting at four years old. Tinnie u
is one Of the smoothest going PAGERS ever |
on Silver lake-only handled a little this |
year, but is expected to beat her dams
record.
There has been some local feeling rela-
tive to the speed of W. G. Danforth's John |
NJ. Wilkes and John A. Moore's Bradlaugh /
colt, Rainbow. Many believe white-face |
can take the gray horses measure. Three |
days trial with seven heats resulted in |
John NJ. Wilkes not being quite ready to |
surrender to the black colt. Notime taken, |
but portions of these heats were very fast. |
Wilkes memory is not short for he east |
~ called to mind the bath taken in this |
lake last winter. Ii needed lots of coax
ing and allowing him to see other horses |
on the ice before he had confidence IN |
his drivers judgment. Some horses have |
lots OF brains and common sense. John is \
one OF this kind; when he found the foot \
ing safe he was ready TO show his old (
time speed.
