vandiver Park was swarming with horses. owners and trainers yesterday and if the class of horses over there is an indication the racing feature of the fair bids fair to be even a greater success than the unprecedented one of last year.
 Such well known stables as the Whitneys of Macon, Ewings of Nash vile, Thomas Glover Bolton Farmi of Donaldson, Tenn. McKinnie of Lonis- vile. Ky, Garth of Huntsville, Abeel and others have in their strings some of the best actors that ever paced or trotted miles on the Southern Fair Circuit. Many of the horses and horse- men who were here last year came in yesterday and as the track at Vandiver Park is faster now than 1t was last year they realize that their horses have got to step some.
 Among the fast trotters are Pulsus. True Tucker. Little Buddy, Egotist Belle, etc. Pulsus is the bay horse by Egotist that Ed Geers paid $3,5o0 for few years ago. He is now the property of Fies and Son, of Birming- ham. and Is here in the Ewing string. True Tucker is a chestnut gelding by J. Morse. He is the property of A. H. Small, of Macon, Ga, and is in the whitney string at the track. Egotist Belle is the bay horse by Egotist in the Thomas outfit and Little Buddy is the Fred S. Wilkes horse belonging to W. H. Jones, of Birmingham. . These four were in the free-for-all tr0t in Birmingham last week, True Tucker finishing second in the first two heats. Pulsus taking the first two in 2:16 and 2:l5 1-4; True Tu sker win ming the next three in 2:1e 1-4, 2:17 1-2 and 2:1s 1-3, with Egotist Belle and Little Buddy fighting it out for third money. The two first horses are mak- ing their first appearance in Montgom- cry but both of the two latter were here last year, Egotist Belle winning the last three heats of four heat af- fair in the 2:21 trot, the second heat in 2:15 Ia the half gone in 1907 1-2
 Ed Geers drove Little Buddy in that race but the youngster-a 3-year-old then--was not right, got off last and stayed there. The improvement in Lit tie Buddy now though is wonderful, in Nashville he nearly made a nose finish in a two horse race with Johnny Dobbs Norwood Hambletonian gelding, Rusha In Birmingham he beat Egotist Belle in the heat of the free-for-all trot, fin- ishing close behind True Tucker in 2:1s,
 Addie C.. the brown Constantine mare in the Abeel string. is also great ly improved At vandtver Park last
 
 in the 2:30 pace. which was won in straight heats hv Bessie Earl with Ed Geere driving. Lille Pointer with Gal loway driving hnishing second in the two heats. Lord Strathberry finishing fourth in 2:13 and 3;1s.
