SILVER LAKE.
Horses and Horsemer

The war against hopples is over, and
peace declared. Breeders associations OF
New England and Kentucky have hauled
down their flags turning tails to PAGERS,
going into inglorious defeat, virtually
admitting Ignorance and self-eonceit.
Trainers can now use the straps or let
them alone.
When that grand old mare, Effie Pow
ers, went through fourteen years Of racing
in hopples, winning more heats in better
time than 2.30 than any other horse living
or dead, always bringing home some part
OF the money, and then retiring at a good
round price without pimple or scratch,
1t was a good card for the hoppled COM
pany.
When PAGER, second fastest harness
horse in the world, PAGES a full mile in
l,51 with his legs tied together, the gen
eral public IS anxious to see this trick
repeated. So Readville and Lexington had
their choice, answer TO their patrons de-
mands at the gates, admit side wheelers,
straps or no straps, or go out of business.
So they chose the former and race goers
will be gratified in fast exhibitions.
The PAGER has won his spurs and posi-
tion in front by his own ability and per-
severance, Notwithstanding popular opin-
ion has been urged by much of the press
against him, edited by men that never
owned horse. Old Effie Powers goes for
life TO the home of Dan Patch, 1856. ac-
knowledged champion harness horse OF
the world, where the union will be looked
forward to with great interest.
just now the talk in horse circles seems
to be the coming pacing race between Yer
mont and New Hampshire. +. T. Holder
OF Honkers, n. Y, owner OF the Vermont
mare, Ecstatic, 2.05f, owns the stock farm
Roaring Brook PARK, at Barton, VT, and,
believing his mare to be fast enough for
anything that wears harness authorized
his agent to challenge any PAGER living for
a match race al 5000 side, best in 3,
winner to take all $4,000; race to be at
Readville, August "a, 1905, fourth day of
grand circuit meeting.
j. Y. Gatcomb OF Concord. n. H.,
accepted this challenge with his chestnut
stallion, Audubon Boy, 2.03l and goes at
once into training. Audubon Boy was
sired by j. J. Audubon, he by Alcyone, by
George Wilkes. Ecstatic was sired by
Oratorio, he by Wilkes, by George Wilkes.
II these two come together fit, it will
be sight worth going miles to see.
A grandson and granddaughter of famous
old George Wilkes, KING of the Wilkes
tribe, will be the attraction. Frank Lang
of Barton will probably train and steer
the mare, as he has heretofore done in all
her races. Gatcomb will of course see to
the fitting OF Audubon Boy, but Hudson
seems likely to get up as driver.
We don't look for either to appear in
hopples, but still they may. well known
Vermont driver told the writer that his
horse would go faster without, and in
work -out-or race with not more than
two or three starters would not use them,
but in a crowd with ten or more he
wanted hopples as protection to himself
and horse, for in mixup he could keep
his horse from breaking and steer through
a muss safer.
Audubon Boy will be the favorite, but
state pride carries our sympathy with the
mare.
