A FAMOUS HoRsEwoMAN.

John Splan, the famous trotting
horse man, was recently in Lexington,
KY, looking for promising high priced
trotting material for his foreign GUS
toner, Mrs Polly McPhee. the queen
of Austrian horsewomen, when he re-
ceived information that she had died
suddenly abroad. Mrs. McPhee was
the widow of the late Dan McPhee, the
first American driver to practice his
profession as a trotting horse driver In
Austria.
Since his death his widow had carried
on the business herself. campaigning
her horses successfully throughout
western Europe, in Germany. Austria
and Russia. Mrs. AcPhee was an AUS
trian by birth She inherited a large
estate, and as her deceased husband
was a thrifty man and left big for
tune she was possessed of unlimited
means to crafty her desire of making
her stable of trotters the greatest array
of campaigners that have ever raced in
foreign lands.
In the last few years through her
American agent, John Splan. Mrs. Nc
Phee had bought over 100000 worth Of
horses in this country for expectation
to Austria, and Splan held at all times
her carte blanche to buy any promising
trotter he might come across. His last
purchase was the three ear-old. Wig
Wag, 2:161z. which he bought for 5000.
Among the great horses Splan has
shipped to her in the last few years are
Colonel Kluser, 2:11A; Bravo. 2:12@;
Miss Sidney, 2:10: Minnie Burchwood,
2:12%, and Derega, 2:19h. She paid
81. 800 for Colonel Kluser and he has
proved himself champion in Europe
at any distance, one of his startling
! performances being two miles in 4.2S

trotting these ice races with the Their
mometer at 40 degrees below zero.
Miss Sidney, 2:10; Minnie Burchwood
2;12%, and Derega, 2:191s, have all
proved great winners abroad but Mrs.
McPhee's two great money winners
were Dick Miller, a green trotter that
never started in this country and Ar
! line, that left America with record Of
2:2412. The latter could not trot so fast
or did not cost auch money as some
of her other mol stars, but her abil-
/ ity to go a race of any distance over
any track. no matter who drove. made
her q very useful mare. She cam
paigned more seasons on the European
turf than any other horse or mare that
ever raced and was inside the money
in a large majority Of her starts. Dick
Miller gave the foreigners the surprise
Of the season by starting in the slow
classes. to which he was eligible. early
in the season and winning race after
race, gradually being forced to reduce
his record. until near the close of the
season when he entered the free for all

All golfers are expectant regarding
the changes in playing rules which are
to be made public early in February.
President Robertson of the United
States Golf associate recently ap-
pointed a committee to reform the en-
tire code of regulations owing to the
many objections to the present system.
The playing rules of Great Britain were
altered recently and the new ones have
been in effect about three weeks.
Like many other pastimes, golf
changes with the times. and it is but
natural that developments of the last
few years should have made certain al
terra tions necessary. Findlay S. Doug

champions of America, are on the com

Noticea bic in the billiard world is the
popularity of the three cushion game.
The three cushion carom sharps are
multiplying rapidly in every city in the
country and in Chicago, where bang
around the table experts have long
been prominent, the proprietors of the
academies are astonished at the boom
this highly interesting branch Of cue
science has taken on.
The prominent professionals were pri-
marily responsible for the vogue of the
three cushion game. It was in it's in
fancy until Chicagoans like Wizard
Jake Schaefer. Cation, Carter. Sutton,
Capron and Jevne nightly illustrated
the fine points of the art. Amateurs
soon took hold of the game in earnest
and developed themselves so rapidly
that at the present time many of them
are able competitors against the rec
ords of any of the professionals except
Schaefer.
Detroit. Cincinnati and st. Louis are
other cities where three cushion caroms
are attaining unusual prominence, and
should you drop into some of the prom
inent academies in New York any even
ing you will be sure to see several
games of this sort in progress and sur
