F. II. Berry, always a lover of good
stock. has brought to Eockland Il dis
tinSuished mare, known us Maysic
Sidney. She has Il record of 2.13I and
is a relative of the famous mare Lou
Dillon, which has worldwide reputa-
ton. She comes fresh from champion
ship honors on the Dorchester, Mass,
speedway, and the blue ribbons which
she won there were attached to her
when she arrived at Rockland. Only IL
few days ago she paced a half mile in
1.02. Mr. Berry's stable is now more
than ever Il popular resort with Knox
county horsCmen.

tionaliy bright for Il busy season over
both the local mile and the half-mile
tracks, writes Frank G. Trott in Boston

time to his large farm. Porter was not
a successful track manager because of
too good nature. At the start he was
too easy and many owners and
trainers considered him their prey
| Properly handled. the track by the sea
can be made to show Il nice profit ut

4 more popular racing ground in the
country and with the right man in

animals. NaSsar (2.0O, the great pacing
sire. which heads the string, is in fine
condition ana feeling as gay as a colt.
The owner will soon take him to the
farrier for shOeinG and he will then re-
ceive little work to harden him up

ing well. and in fine spirits. He will
be four years old in May next and
weighs between 1900 and 1900 pounds.
Last season he served GS mares while
80 moro were obliged to be turned away.
He will doubtless prove a valuable
stock horse for those DESTROYS of heavy
