It IS pleasant to be able to note that
Northumberland horses and otheT horses
formerly owned by Washingtonlans are
more than holding their own In the whi'e
heat of actual contests. Henry copper
thite's Ada D., 2.l5A. won the 2-i4 pace
at Norfolk Tuesday last. beating such fast
pacers as L. A. McCormiok's fast and game
mare Mysotis, 2.134, and Javins Brotners
Bedford Boy, 213i. On Thursday over
the same track, +. F. Halls bay stalhoh

fast trotters lowering his record IN
the third heat from 204 to

scored his first victory Of the season in
straight heats, the fastest being In 22o.

bred mare. Kinstress, scored a victory IN
straight heats at Albany over fast held

2 .l2Is TO 2i2I4. while Frank Yoakum, bred
by Judge Yeomau OF Washington, In an
exhibition mile at Rome, \. Y, Thursday

Liberal entries have been made in the
several events from the local stables of
Frank r. Grove, w. n. Brown and Otto
ZInn. i. u. Sale will start the horses Mr..
Zlnn, about whom little has been said In
the daily prints of late, has quietly been
gathering about him a strong stable of
trotters and PAGERS at his headquarters,
Jackson place where he does business I'M
der the title of the Palace Training Stables.
His record horses up to date comprise

youngster. Three others In Mr.. Zinns me-
mage are being daily taught the way they
should go, and In due time will be intro
duced to high-class society. Mr.. linn works
his horses over the new speedway and finds
a great advantage in so doing because Of
the softness of the footing.

over Belmont Park, Philadelphia. Mr.. Nc
Caully left the city last night in order to
be present, and also to sample his own
great trotter, Harry Woodford, 2.17h, At
the free gate matinee, held at Belmont
Wednesday last, Harry Woodford distin-
guished himself In a wagon race, driven by
Frank Bower of the Quaker city The
brown geldIng drove Edgewood out in the
first heat I'm 2. %, was third In the second
heat In 2.l9 and was first I'm the third heat
in 2.22 This was Harry Woodford's first
race for the season of 1906 and demon
strates that the geldng retains all of his
old time speed.
The first quarter Of the first heat
was trotted in .33 and the half
In los. The first half OF the second heat
was trotted In los, which, to wagon, is go
ing some.

Is not fiatterng showing for the crop Of
green trotvers produced for 1906 The fast
est heat was around II. and although won
in straight heats by son Of Direct. the
two last heats We're around Fla. The fact
that there WAS nothing In the field to drive
the winner ont Ia faster time demonstrates
that the trotters are not gaining IN speed
