Last of Those at BrightWood
Will Have Left by Next
tuesday Evening.
BY L. D. SALE.


The only remaining string OF horses in
training at Brightwood will have departed
Tuesday evening next. The Javins string
of trotters and PAGERS in charge of James
Morrow, on that date will take the boat
for Norfolk. The string consists of Bed
worth, jr., 2.061s; Bedford Boy, 2-13A, and
possibly s. D. R., 2.17A. Thomas Cannon's
string, the racing part of which is located
at the Gentlemen's Driving Park. Balti-
more, win also be shipped from that point
to Norfolk on the same date. Mr.. Cannon's
string comprises Miss Clean, 2.15A; Ada
D., 2.15h, and Maid Marion. 2.25A.
Cannon has not decided which of the
Iow-record mares he will start in the 2.14
pace. Much will depend upon the condi-
ton each is in and the field entered Miss
CLEAN has not started this season. Report
has IT that she is on edge and ready for
race. Henry Copperthtte's mare Ada D.,
is also said to be in fine shape as she has
had four or I'VE races already this season.
Alonzo Corbin has taken his string from
the Baltimore track to Wilmington, Del,
where he will start this week DR.. Bell,
219A; Kushan, 2.30A, and John o. Gheens
Belle Hazel, 2.93. Mr.. Corbin's string is
rows was never In better condition for
bruising miles. AS far can be learned,
1t Is a question whether the Brightwood
management will give fall trottfng meet
ing Thus far none has been scheduled,
but there is some talk of giving a run
ming meeting over the course. II the latter
scheme natures 1T would be pretty good
evidence that the light harness game in
the District of Columbia was at a pretty
low ebb, If not in mortbund condition.

Henry Copperthite has bred Ida c.. 213A,
to DIR. Bell, ASA and is thinking of breed
ing The Nightingale. that has just dropped
foal by Beausant 206A, to kushan,
2.2014, later in the season. A foal from this
union would carry the blood of Electioneer
and George Wilkes and that of Abdallah
XIV through his two best sons Alrnont and
Belmont. Each cross is a golden one, as
there is not a fast record horse today that
does not carry the blood of at least one of
the stations named. To make the union
still stronger Rusina, the second dam of
Kushan, is full sister of Nutwood, 2.1SA,
and the leading broodmare sire.
The youngster, If 1t lived, would carry
the blood of four great broodmares-Beau
tiful Bells, with eleven, four of which were
champion performers; Green Mountain
Maid, with nine; Miss Russell. with eight.
and Eventide, with six performers. The
cross contemplated is the best possible

They do say that the best green trotting
prospect owned in the District of Columbia
is the flve-year- unnamed sorrel gelding
now In the hands of Thomas Cannon. He
is by Kelly, 227, dam by Robert McGregor.
lily Kelly is a full brother of the great
three year-old Expressive, 212A, which
Monroe Salisbury rented from Senator
Stanford in the early COS and carried down
the grand circuit meeting and besting all
corners, old and young Kelly was very
fast when young. but met with an accident
and never afterward raced He is owned
by a Mr.. Cox OF Mt Jackson Va, and is
now in the stud near Lexington. KY The
Cannon colt up to date has gone q mile
over Brightwood in 2.23, a half In LOS, and
certainly acts like the real commodity The
name OF the owner of this promising colt
seems to be a mystery at present. Any
way. the colt is to be held over for another

Timothy E. Shugrue of West Washing
ton is driving the gray stallion Harry c..
211A, to and from his business. The old
horse shows no signs of the fast miles he
has gone this season. He is in good flesh,
his legs look as good as they have for the
past five years, and he does not show that
he Is carrying the weight of twenty hard
winters and the same number of dusty and
hot summers Except to I'LL in at the mat
inees. Harry G. will never race again. He
has earned good rest, and has also earned
the title of grand old horse" Mr.. Shu-
Erue has placed his promising young pacing
stallion, T. E. s., In the hands of Lee s.
Dorsey of Rockville. who will prepare him
for his fall engagements. Peter Taylor,
manager OF the Arlington, this city, says
that he Is so disguised with racing, as con-
Quoted at Brightwood, that he is going to
sell out and quit the game. Everett T. Tay-
lor has taken up from pasture the fast sor-
rel PAGER, Everett T., and will try to get
him in condition for matinee racing over
the new speedway In the fall. Rumor says
that Frank Thomas has driven his new
purchase, the bob-tailed sorrel gelding,

when Frank faces the starter with his nag
he will be compelled to produce identifica-
