AT HOME.
The Four Popular Racers of the S. S.
Ruble Barns, Returned.

Lady Alect 2:144 and her three
half brothers, sired by "Alect,"
the sorrel pacing stallion owned
by S. S. Ruble, Logan, o., arriv-
ed home Saturday Oct. 90, after
very successful racing campaign
of long summer under the man
agement of S. S. Ruble. Ruble
started out with Lady Alect for
Wheeling, W. Va, June IA, for
the first race of the season and
raced her. ever since, with the ex-
ception of three weeks, and later
in the season, Joined with the La
dy, three others as they became
ready to race: Bob L, Jesse Fra
sure and Lemonade.
Ruble's cash winnings for the
season were $4,000, Lady Alect
winning most of this amount, as
Bob L, Jesse Frasure and Lemon
ade were not allowed to win even
when they could, as Ruble wished
to keep them without records un-
til next year; although Bob L
took a record at Cambridge, o. Of
2:244 in winning race, winning
the first heat in 2:1S. Bob L was
also mile in his last race in
2:154 but the heat was not award
ed to him,
jesse Frasure started in the
2:20 class pacing at Cambridge, o.
same week also and was close 2nd.
to the good PAGER Hub Smith"
in 2:16.
Lemonade was close 2nd. sever
al times IN 2:19 and 2:20, but did
not want him to win with either
of those and take fast marks.
They had but very little prepara-
tion before starting to race.
Last but not least-a word
about Lady Alect. She was new
er behind the money in her life.
She started in 16 races ranging
from the 10 class to the Free
for-all and won first and second
money in every one, excepting 3rd
three times and she may have won
one or two of them, had she wan
ted to have taken record of 2:10.
She made Lady Miller take re-
cord of 2:114 at Columbus Ohio
Estate Fair to win in the 3rd. heat,
and Lady Alect was close to her
side throughout the mile. Lady
Alect has won most all of her ra-
ces. She was mile at Wheeling,
Va. in the 2:12 pace in 2:104 and
same week was a mile in the 4th.
heat of the 2:16 pace, of which
Lady won in 2:114 stepped the
first of the mile in l :O4 which
was announced from the judges
, stand to be the track record.
1t is no question but that Lady
Alect could of had a record of
2:10 or better over J mile track
this year if Ruble would have
wanted her to have had it and
record of 2:06 over mile track.
But through careful manage
ment it was so arranged to keep
her eligible to the 2:15 class for
next years racing, as Ruble and
Iher owners will likely stake the
Lady through the Grand Circuit
next year in the 2:15 pace where
she ought to be winner. Good
authorities predict Lady Alect to
be a 2 minute PAGER next year,
under favorable circumstances a
cash offer of $4,000 has been made
for Lady Alect. But that Is not
much inducement for one like her.
These pacing colts have start
ed this season in "a races and to
their credit they have
33 winning heats,
80 seconds,
81 thirds,
10 fourth,
8 fifths
l seventh,
and one back of the flag twice.
This record will compete with
any 102 race heats by any 4 green
PAGERS in the State from one barn,
and by one Sire, and driven by one
man, and it was so claimed by
best of trainers wherever they
raced.
But we hope their winnings anC
records will be much better mex
year, which they no doubt will i.
nothing happens. Although W,
are thankful and proud of the pas
and hope to raise more of the sam,
