James Hazelton drove two-year-
old Rex Americas trotter a half over
the haywood stock farm track the
other day in 1:14, and thinks he has
found another American Belle (3),
2:12 Ia.
The third heat of the present system
of racing on the grand circuit is very
much like an appendix-is absolutely
of no use-and, like the latter, is apt
to breed disease that will require
heroic treatment.
Ivan B., 2:10 ga, Yves Stauts good
PAGER, is coming to all right again
he was of of edge at Frankfort-and
is likely to be pretty much the whole
thing" in the rest of his Indiana In
terban Circuit engagements.
Sinclair, winner of the 2:24 pacing
stake at Scranton, Pa, and driven by
Cook, was not paid first money, as
several horsemen asked for identi-
ficatfOn. The horse was entered by
F. L. Shores, of New Haven, Conn.
Philadelphia's improved speedway
will open on September 1, and the
Road Drivers association will hold a
number of special races to celebrate
the event. On October 20 the annual
parade of the association will be held.
King Traveller, 1929 IA, by Norval
King, 2:17 3-4, dam Helen Travis isis
ter to Guerita, 2:10 1-4), by Gambetta
Wilkes, is a pure-gaited trotter and
has 2:10 speed on tap all the time. He
is owned by L. C. Kinney, of Bushnell,
Nebr.
John Splan pursued the plan of
keeping Bi Flora under cover by tell
ing everybody what great mare she
was. 1t was reversal of the usual
rule and worked exceedingly we'll. Not
only has Expedition 2:10 trotter to
his credit in her, but he has an ex-
cellent prospect of adding two full
brothers to that select list in Exalted,
now racing in Dick McMahan's stable,
and Telegraph, owned by H. L. Hern-

The "Class1 Of the Broncho.
The Broncho. 300 3-4, has been very
much in the public eye ever since the
early July meeting at Libertyvillc.
Her winning performance there was
a surprise because the year before
she was defeated on the Fourth of
July over that track and because of
that everybody said that she would
not be fit and It would be impossible
for her to jump from half mile track,
where she had received all her pre-
paratory work, and be able to win in
fast company on mile track. She put
all these critics to rout and later she
went to Cleveland, where a great many
Eastern horsemen saw her perform
for the first time. They had heard
about her and her wonderfully good
performances on the Great Western
circuit tracks last year, but had passed
her BY with the sneering remark
wait until she meets horses of class.
then she will be defeated easily" I'm
fortunately she picked up a nail last
fall and was unable to fulfill her Lex
ington engagement, and that convinced
these superficial critics that the mare
lacked class" and that Charley Dean
was wise enough to appreciate the
fact. At Cleveland, however, these
critics were dumfounded. The Bron-
cho just played with her field and
broke several worlds records in one
afternoon, the most important being
the one for three-heat race, held
ever since 1896 by the ex-champion
Star Pointer. Then the mare disap-
peared from the Grand Circuit and |
went back to her old home on the |
Great Western. where she won her |
early fame. Unluckily there are no
PAGERS In the West Of sufficient num-
Der and calibre to ill classes to which
she Is eligible, and she has been forced
to 60 exhibition miles against the
watch. But such exhibition miles!
With no windshield. no dirt shield,
no pacemaker. she has given marvel
Gus exhibitions of great gameness and
speed. Scoring the usual accompani-
ments to exhibition miles, she has on
her own undaunted courage performed i
as no other pacing mare ever did. At
Decatur, under most unfavorable cir
cumstances, she paced mile in 2:O2
and at Pekin repeated the perform
ance. At Galesburg 1t was confidently
that she would do something
astonishing, and she did, but again
under unfavorable conditions The
Galesburg track is one of the fastest,
but rain put the track GU of commits
