see PAGER and to go into the business o
breeding that class of horses ON /;
large scale. He and Capt. Nj. g.
Campbell bought Brown Hal. and Maj

Cleburne Farm.
Cleburne farm is probably the only
farm in the United States devoted
exclusively to the pacing horse. This
farm is located at Cleburne Station,
about 211s miles south of Spring Hill,
and contains $50 acres. 1t is the
property of Capt M. c. Campbell.
and its interests are under the control
of his son, Mr.. Allen Campbell.
This is the home of the great pacing
stallion. Brown Hal. who has sired
more fast PAGERS than any other horse
in the world, and is the only
horse to sire one with two
minute record. Star Pointer, by
Brown Hal, paced mile in 1 1914,
record that has never been APP
preached. Duplex and the promising
young sire Actonward, are also part
of the stud here. The latter. full
brother to the champion yearling PAGER,
Belle Acton, possesses an unusually
neat, clean form, and has every out
ward appearance of being horse Of
the highest class.
There is good mile track upon the
property, devoted exclusively to train
ing purposes, about ten youngsters per
year being the average taking the
track. Last year two three-year- old
Brown Hal FLIES made records of 2 0915

Gates the speed qualities of the horses
bred and trained here.

tainly of as much note to the public
