GOOD RACING AT VALLEY FAIR.
Nominations in Stake Events Include
Some Very Fast Steppers.

A meeting of the International Cir
cult of Vermont and Eastern Canada
was held in Newport Monday, d. b.
Tasker representing the Valley Fair
association. A uniform set or eondl-
tions to govern the races was adopted,
and it was agreed where there were
mixed races, trotters and PAGERS, to al
low in all classes of 2.20 or slower four
seconds to the trotters, and in all
classes faster than 2.20 three seconds.
This handicap is given on the record; /;
that is, trotter with mark OF 2.lo
is eligible to start in the 2.20 class.
The outlook seems to be very favor
able for good fields in the Valley Fair
races this year Many of the horses
entered in the stake races are "mak-
ing good and going fast. Among them
is Argot Boy, winner of six-heat race
in Albany, n. Y, and having record
of 2.ll l.2, also Frank Balm, winner OF
second money. These two are named
by the Christian Hill stables in the 2.l5
stakes. Tempest Grattan, another of
Walter Cox's string, won one of the
trotting races in straight heats. She
is named in the 2.25 stakes. Copper
Coin and Country Boy each won fourth
place in their initial race. Major D.
o., a Quebec horse entered in the 2.l1
stakes, won the 2.l3 class at Montreal
last week with Billy Hurd of the New
port stock farm fourth. Billy w.
named in the 2.15 stakes by George h
Whitney of Winooski, won a straight
