w. H. Chambers decided at the last mo-
ment not to go to Winchester with the
Duke, preferring to save him up for the
meeting at this point. Mr.. Chambers may
possibly start also at the local meet

young geldngs in the Chambers outfit,
two and three years, respectively, owned
by a gentleman in this city, are showing
up pretty well at the trot and pace. They
are by a son of Robert McGregor. 21T14,

rounding to Bob Ingersoll and T. E. S.
He had them at Brightwood Wednesday
last and the geldng and stallion showed
greatly improved form, Ingersoll pacing
one mile in 2.26 and acting if he had been
hard pushed, as if he could shade that
mark two or three seconds. 7. f. 5. went
very easy miles around 80 and is gain
ing in speed in every workout.

Peter Taylor has placed Montana Guard,

him around his record the present season.
