Dr.. Brant and j &c. Welty
at Millersburg
TO SEE THE FLYERS
They Have In Training at That
Piaee.-Some Of Them
Will Start at
Warren.

DR.. z. d. Brant and Hon. John C.
Welty returned from Millersburg We'd
nesday, where they had been to see
the horses they have in training at the
fair grounds at that place. The horses
of both gentlemen are in the hands Of
Trainer Harvey Close. DR.. Brant found
his horse VIII Go, 2:17 IA in excellent
shape. He is showing faster than his
mark and when he takes the word
will make some Of them 60 to beat
him out. Stark Pointer, another horse
of DR.. Brants that is in Closes hands,
is acting good and can repeat in 30. He
is son of Star Pointer, and his dam
is by General Hancock. His breed
Ing gives him license to go in 200, but
his handling has never been satisfac-
tory until this year. He has no record
and should prove winner in the slow
classes. Both these horses will start at
the Warren meeting which begins
August Z.
Mr.. Welty has four in training at
Millersburg, two two-year-olds and two
aged horses. One of the latter rs Maud
Anderson, 1928 IA, by Ruby, a son of
Red Wilkes. Maude's dam is by An
napolis. She is in good shape and will
start at Warren. Mr.. Welty when in
terrogated did not care 10 say how fast
she is showing in her work.
Another good prospect is Miss Baron,
3 years old, by Almatone, dam by Baron
Wilkes, second dam by Bourbon Will
kes. Miss Baron is a half sister to the
sensational Miss Rose, and is gated
very much like her. She is just as
cleverly broken and has shown 40 in
her work.
| There are also two two-year-olds that
are taking their first lessons at the track
that Mr.. Welty is sweet on. One is
Mestonian, by Potential, dam by Aris-
tos. This youngster is one of the best
bred colts in the state. His first dam
has four in the list, his second dam 3
and his third dam two that have gone
better than 2:30 He is full brother
to Potentia, 2:17 "a at years. Mes
tonian has been full miles in 2:54, and
shows quarters much faster. II he does
not prove fast one, there is no use
depending on individual qualities and
blood lines.
The second 2-year old is an unnamed
colt by Dare Devil. dam by Dynamics
by Pilot Medium. Second dam Mol
ly Russell, dam of Russellmont, 2: 10 Ii
This little chap is bred in the purple
if ever colt was. He comes from lines
that race to the wire in the last heat
He is showing fast and has good way
of going. 1t is probable that he will
beat 2:30 this fall. He is an exception.
ally fine looking colt, having the char.
acterstics of Mambrino King, who is
acknowledged to be the handsomest
horse in the world.
! At his farm near Beach City Mr.
Welty has about sixty head Of horses
principally youngsters that are by the
best sires in the country, such as
Wilkes Boy, Pilot Medium, Patron
Elyria, Dictator, Alcantara, etc. They
are just reaching an age when they car
be developed, and from this on tht
farm can be expected to put several II
the list each season. Mr.. Welty's mot
to is "The best is the cheapest"
He recently purchased Gertrude, by
Elyria. Her record is 2:12. He bough
her to drive double with her full sis
