after Edith w had won the first heat.
Edith WIS time was 2:O6, while Harry o..
made 2:06$, 2:0724 and 2:07A The 2:09 pace
also witnessed some good time
In addition to the races referred to above
which were held during state fairs. other
important races We're held at various other
times on the mile track. The 211 pace, in
1893, attracted considerable attention, and
was won by Prima Donna, the best time
being 2:O9A. In 1894 Ed Easton took the 2:12
pace. one heat being paced in 2:092.. The
same year, in the 2:35 pace, Ethel A. made
a mile in 2:10A. On Aug. is, of the following
year, in the ZIP pace stake race, Be Sure
won. the best time being 2:O7%. The same
day, in the 200 pace, Fidol won in 2:OS14.
2:0514 and 2:05. In July, 1898, Pearl C. made
2:07A in one heat of the 2:12 pace, and in
the PIP trot Kentucky Union went mile
in 2:07A.
The best race during these kind of meet
ings was Sept. 6. 1894. when Robert j.
and Joe Patchen met for 5000 match
race. Robert j. winning in three straight
heats in 2:0324. 2:O212 and 2:04A. The few
races that have been mentioned is a brief
review of little that has been done at the
Indianapolis track.
This year it is expected that there will
be a larger list of horses at the state fair
races than any year since Indianapolis
dropped out of the Grand Circuit, and live
ly events and fast times are expected.

Jesse FIetcher's Fast Trotter VIII
Soon Go Into Active Training.

Jesse Fletcher, whose stock farm is at
Millersville. six miles northeast of Indian
apolis, and who, for several seasons past,
has been closely identified with both the
trotting horse breeding and trotting turf
interests, has received several good offers
for the two splendid stations, Simmore,
ELSA and Baron Jean, 2:3o, which he Of
fered for sale some time ago, but, consid-
ering their high merits. he thinks them
worth more than he has yet been offered.
Both horses are located at the state fair
grounds. Simmore will make only limited
season in the stud. and will then go into
active training. He has a record of 2:1914,
made in a winning race over a poor half
mile track. and has shown miles better
than PIP. He is by Simmons, 2:2S, son of
George Wilkes, and out of Vivette, dam of
Simmore, 2:1914. Two of his oldest colts

showed remarkable speed. One out of a

TWO AMERICUS. COLTS.



The coming season bids fair to greatly
increase the number of PAGERS and trotters
from Indiana. This State has long been
known as a great breeding center, and the
rapid strides that have been made by Indi-
ana horsemen during the past year or two
will begin to reap harvests in the harness
world very soon. Not a State in the Union
has better bred horses than are found in
Indiana. 1t was an Indiana breeder who
startled the horse world by putting up the
bulk Of $l05,000 TO purchase Axtell, and 9TH
er Indianans have improved their stock
farms with the additions of high-class stall
lions and brood mares. New and great stall
lions are constantly being added TO the
States supply by Indiana breeders, and no
less than four new breeding establishments
are being equipped that will equal any In
the country.
One of the principal establishments in
central Indiana is that of Sterling r. Hollis

southwest of Indianapolis A few years ago
Mr.. Holt entered into the breeding bust
