MAKING THE, AWARDS.
Light Harness Horst.T WIN speed Inheri.
tance Pass Before Judges.
The crowd at the ringside when the first
bugle note sounded yesterday was composed
of ardent admirers OF the light harness
horse. The morning programme was made
up OF trotting classes. mostly youngsters.
The first exhibit that appealed strongly
to both the expert and the public was class
8, for yearling oolts or fllies. E. T. Stotes-
bury sent in Adnut, one OF the highest bred
colts in the country His sire, Adbell, had
a record OF 2;29 AZ yearting and was by
Eectioneer, the sire of more champion
youngsters than any other sire living or
dead. The dam Of Adbell was Beautiful
Bells, dam of ten in the list, and the most
famous broodmare in the trotting stud
book. This gives to Adntrt a speed inher-
itance that no breeder can excel In ad-
dition he has been well grown and looked
fully matured and as large as the eaddle
pony by his side. When 1t came to showing
he did not act like trotter. and in this
respect bids fair to be puzzle to the stu
dent OF heredity. 1'-- '+''
