is campaigning Paymaster General ]. A.
Smiths Sister Ada, 2.23A, thinks highly
of the speedy black daughter Of krem

Her recent miles over the Baltimore
tracks have proved that she has all her
speed, and Cannon, who drove her in her
races, says he could have nailed first
money with her had such been his in
structions. The writer paid brief visit
to Pleasant Fields recently to see how
Mr.. Waters produces the results with
which he is so widely credited. He per-
sonally trains every horse that goes from
his farm to the races and on his own
half-mile track, which is an up-and- down
hill affair." on lot near his plantation
residence.
However much the visitor to Pleasant
Fields may be impressed with the annual
output at that place, he is not much i'm
pressed with the track. And yet, on this
rather primitive, rude-looking affair have

Bradford Girl. the dam of this remark
heralded. Her breeding was unknown.
She was the property Of DR.. Waters Of
Baltimore and had the reputation Of be-
ing a speedy and game road mare. When
sent to Pleasant Fields she was in foal
to Dan Tucker. and few months later
dropped a sorrel filly that, when a five
year-old, paced to record of 2.221a and
was known as Minnie w. Three days be-
she had worked a trial in 2.121s. Kin

had drawn a cart over Brightwood a full
mile in $50. When she matured and

dren of the old mare showed promise, Mr..
Waters thought it time to bestir himself
and find out just exactly how She was
bred.
At the cost Of much pains and expense
Mr.. Waters traced Bradford Girl to her
breeder and found that her sire was Ben

Daniel Lambert. and that her dam was
Lady Monarch, by Monarch. a son Of
Hambletonian 10. her second dam by
