tPhoenix republican,

lPhoeniX Republican,
Here is sample of the best reading
presented TO those who are interested
in the success of the. racing at the
Fair next week. and narticularlv those
who are looking forward with hope
of witnessing the fastest mile ever
made in the world by a harness
horse. 1t is a letter to j. c. Adams.
president OF the Fair commission from
the owner of Dan Patch and it talks
for itself
Minneapolis. Oct 80, 1907.
Mr.. J. c. Adams,
Phoenix. Arizona
Dear Sir: / have sent Mr.. Hersey
our agreement so that he can make
settlement with you Tor the Dan Patch
exhibitions. I have also written him
that If there was such thing post
bic on earth I wanted him to beat f.5a
over your track. II the track and
weather are right / believe Dan viii
beat ii. OF cource you understand
that when we go after 1855, the track
must be perfect, the weather must be
perfect, the runners and their drivers
must be right and Mr.. Hersey must
be on edge. Dan IS always right and
If we have the other combinations. 1
fully believe that your track will have
the great honor of having q mile
paced that win not be eoualled or
beaten in long term. You may resi-
assured that Dan and the boys viii do
everything in their power TO give you
a record that you can hang over your
gate for years to come. l think the
rest Dan mas had will do him good
and | expect him to show you such
a tremendous burst of speed as we
have never seen.
For over two years l have been
firm believer that Dan Patch has the
necessary speed to pace mile in
1:52 and that he would do it If all
other conditions were absolutely per-
feet | fully realize that we may
never have such conditions at any of
our exhibitions and am not expecting
him 10 do this at your meeting, but
am expecting him to beat 1:55.
Wishing you the greatest possible
success for your Fair, l am,
Very truly yours,
NJ. w. SAVAGE.
To this is added the information
that H. C. Hersey, driver Of Dan
Patch, wired 70 Mr.. Savage asking
him to send the best driver available
to drive a pacemaker for the fast
PAGER. All other conditions being per
feet it was desired to spare no expense
in givingDan a chance to break his
record Mr.. Savage wired back that
he had engaged Charles Dean Tor that
office and that he will be here as fast
as railroad train can bring him. Mr..
Dean is one of the most notable driy-
ers in the country and drove the pace
maker for Dan Patch on the occasion
of his record making at Minneapolis.
when he went the mile in 1:55 fiat
Mr.. Dean has been trainer and driy-
er of many noted horses. One horse
known to many people as the most
sensational track favorite of the sea
son of 1906 is THE Broncho, a
pacing mare which MIR. Dean drove to
the worlds record for a mare, 200 II.
Mr. Dean is a fine judge of speed,
top notch driver and the inference to
be drawn from this information made
public yesterday, is that Mr.. Savage
and Mr. Jersey feel almost certain
that a new worlds record win be
made next Monday and no means will
be spared to consummate this lauda-
bic ambition.
