PAGER Bought by M. w. Savage Has
Won Fifty-two Out Of Fifty
four Race Heats.
Paced Seventeen Miles With an Av-
erage Time of 2:021-3
Last Sason.


While the record of Dan Patch, the I'M
crowned King of the pacing world, was
briefly reviewed by The journal a
few days ago, a more detailed account of
the achievements Of the great young pac-
ing stallion may be of interest to horse
| lovers. In the three seasons during which
he has been campaigned, Dan Patch has
Won for his owners Spite. In this total
are included thirteen exhibition miles, at
$1,000 each. These amounts are estimated
but it is probable that in a majority of
these trials against time the amount
realized was more than $1,000.
In 1901, the only season in which Patch
was entered in the stake events on the
grand circuit he won $13,S00. When it is
! remembered that the stakes offered for
trotters are nearly double in amount those
for PAGERS it can be seen that trotter,
entered in all the big stakes and meet
ing with the same success as Dan Patch
IN winning every race, would clean up.
about 100000 in a season.!
In 1900 D. A. Messner, who then owned
the stallion, entered him in four races
on the Indiana tracks. He won every
race, losing only one heat, but his best
time was 2.16, leaving him eligible for
some of the best stakes for the season of
1901. -, -.
r. Sweeps the Grand Circuit.
In that year Patch went down the cir
heels to every PAGER he met. He took
first money in twelve events, winning
thirty-six out+of thirty seven heats, and
| finishing the season with mark of
2:04A. = This year he, was entered in only
two races and paced thirteen miles against
time. In three years he has paced fifty
four race heats, winning fifty-two. In
1902 he paced seventeen miles, making an
average of 2:02 1-3 He was sent against
| time thirteen times, @ihis thirteen miles
averaging a shade OVER 2:OoA. Following

! AT the close of the season of 1900 M
s. e. Sturges Of New York acting upon the
: advice Of Myron- McHenry, purchased the
speedy PAGER for, 100000 The horse has
won for him $26,45O,# and M. w. Savage
Of this city paid for him this week SAC, 44A

Dan Patch is only years old, and 1t Is
confidently predicted that he will reduce
the worlds record next season. 1t will be
/ remembered that Cresceus was years old
when he made his record, and Dan Patch
should be at his best next summer. He
was never raced until he was4 years old
Il and has never been campaigned to an ex-
:! tent which should injure him in speed OF
stamina.
