Local horsemen are jubiiant and predic- tions are made that the 5-year-old mare will do something phenomenal by next season at least-unless she goes pack and in this neck of the woods it is to be hoped that she will stay good.
 The little village of Prattville seems to be fated to turn out fast horses, the fastest trotter that ever left this State being bred there.
 mare owned by Mir. Wilson of Pratt vile. and Tom Seay, a stallion owned by Mir. Mcclellan of this city, are the dam and sire, respectively. .of colt named Arch w. For the past few years Arch W. has been campaigned on the Grand Circuit. Ot one time he trotted a mile better than 2:09.
 The men campaigning him got into trouble last year. the judges catching ruled off.
 The Garth farm near Huntsville is an- other famous place. Paul Revere. who paced a mile in POT IA on the Grand Circuit, was bred there. his sire being the ~Gilchrist stallion, Brandon, PIP 1-4. Lots of other fast ones were bred there that will be heard from.
 The McCurdy place near Lowndesboro is another famous place. Direct Hal. The Monk and several others having been when youngster and was virtually raised there. Several of the Hamlin string that Geers handled were closely identified with the Lowndes County farm. another famous breeding farm, Lord Vara having been at the head of the stud there. Annie Caffey. the speedy mare now at Riverside. was foaled there, Lord Vara being her sire.
 The speed and stamina of the Hal fam fly was exemplifed again by Twinkle who won the six-heat 2:14 pace in which Miss m a. da her pra md ShnWipp We'd nesday.
 Twinkle is a mare by Mercury. her dam having been sired by Tom Hal. She is the property of Douglass Boyd of Grif- fin. Ga. Scott Hudson Is campaigning her this year. She had a trial mark of 2:13 when she started at Cleveland on July "A. It was a four-heat race She landed away back in the first heat-2:o9 1-4-and won the next three straight in 2:06 3-4, 2:10 1-2 and 2:0S 3-4
 At Columbus on the 31st she had an easier time winning in straight heats !n 2o9 1-4 2:oS IA
 in heats faster than 2:0S she won the fourth. fifth and sixth heats in 2:0s 3-4. 210 3-4 and 2:10 1-2, endurance that is seldom witnessed.
 race between the Alabama mare and the Georgia mare. And such thing Is not
 For the first time this season The MOnk nd0 LO IOllOW d HOTbS nOile ScplSi- day instead of leading, and it must have been a novelty both to Ed Geers. the Mambrino King horse that he was driv- ing and the people who went to the races at Bualffo True Geers has not lost the race, only one heat having been trotted and that in 2:09 3-4. Chainshot must be improving wonderfully-last year Laabs was driving him and in a 2:17 trot won the first two heats in PA 1-4, 2I4 S-4. finishing third in the third heat that Dan Wilkes won In 2:13 3-4 and winring tho fourth in 2:15 1-2. Chainshot is bay gelding by Red Heart out of Pique, daughter of Kentucky Prince. Yester- day Mcdonald drove him nearly ten seconds faster than he was going last year. but he will have to step lots bet ter than that to take the race away from Geers and The Monk today. The Monk trotted that first heat in Detroit on the l7th of July in 2:N fiat and did it in 2:07 IA at Cleveland in that celebrated race with Lord Derby. So Mcdonald will have to get about four seconds faster today with the son of Red Heart than he did yesterday.
