oak to high wheels.
1t is reported that Gyp Walnut has
been working miles at the Staten
Island track around 2:16, and will be
a hard horse to e IL he races right
up to his best form. The Aristocrat

with local horsemen, as he has shown
some high class performances over the
local track.

stable of Billy Colville, is again taking
his work in a satisfactory manner, after

George Mcbride has been conspicuous
by his absence from the track for the
past two weeks.
Billy Colville is working a very
snowy, rgood-gaited bay trotting flly,
by Baron Dillon. 2:121a, that looks at
the present writing as though she a
everything a good trotter ought to
have.
l.. y. Page sent his chestnut pacing |
mare Fan Far a mile In 2:22 Friday
morning and 1t looked as II she was
going Easy.
Lake Elect is doing we'll and making
speed rapidly in the hands of Ike Hully.
Friday morning lie stepped away from
several fast PAGERS as though they
We're standing still. The anvil chorus
must feel like wooden money, as they |
Piled their hammers on this good and
plenty.
Cliff Woodruff pushed the big bay
PAGER riverside a mile in 2:24M this
week. The horse a never gone as
sure gated. since he landed in Newark,
as he does right TODAY.
Billy Block has offered to make q |
match race with Handy Andy, five
mile heats. 3 In 8, the winner to take
both horses.

He is in the string of AL Thomas, and

city.
Earl Wilson worked the last eighth
of a slow mile in 15H seconds on Fri

week in 2:2SA, last half in 1:12, and
will start in the 2.30 trot at the next
matinee.
The black mare, Rebe, 2:151s. in the
stable of Ike Hully. wiggled a mile in
her work yesterday in 2:20A. and will
