The star and Newark advertiser. [volume] (Newark, N.J.) 1908-1909, 1908-12-14
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

One of the best-equipped training
barns in this vicinity is the plant OPP
Grated by the local trainer, Billy Col
Vile, at 80 Delayan avenue, Newark.
The plant is equipped with every mod
ern convenience procurable for a high
class training stable, and at present
eleven head of t~rotters and PAGERS are
quartered there. The main fioor Is
divided into large, airy box stalls, and
beneath this door Is a large paddock,
hoored with tan bark. where the horses
are exercised when the weather out of
doors is unfavorable.
The star of Colville's stable is the
bay mare Cereal, owned by j. H.
Cuthill, which Billy Andrews gave a
trotting record of 2.12A in a winning
race at the Poughkeepsie grand circuit
meeting the past season. This mare
will be used exclusively in the free-for-
all trots at Weequahic Park next year.
Another star in the pacing division
owe the bush rings the past season is
also in this stable. being no other than
the chestnut gelding Baron Whips,
2.oSA, who made his record over a half
mile track the past season., and who
proved himself a high-class race horse
PAGER. Baron Whips was one of the
largest money-winners doing business
at the pumpkin shows. He is right now
in the pink of condition and will be
raced again next year over the half
mile rings, where he can give any PAGER
in the country a good argument for
first money. Colville Is also wintering
two green t~rotters that look like ready
money for 1909,
Ar High Class.
Both have had some expert
ence at the game and their per-
formances would lead one to size them
up as high-class. One is the bay geld
ing The Freak, who was started five
times the past season and raced right
at 2.20 most of the time, but was not
naked for reasons best known to his
owner and trainer. The other is the
bay mare Argo Dillon, by Baron Dill
ion, 2.12h, which took her work this
fall better than go on several occa-
sions and Is one of the very best
headed and b~est-gaited things that ever
heard the word go. Another of whom
great things are expected Is an UNI
named son of Direct, 2.05h. He is a
chestnut gelding, who takes it on the
pace, a typical Direct in conformation
and disposition, and a very oily way of
showing what he can do. In the classes
for young stars troubled with speed
Colville is handling two 3-year-olds that
look like the goods. a trotter and a
PAGER, the former being Phil Collins
Jay Bird colt Wetherill, and the latter
a handsome brown filly called Pattie
Lake, by Red Lake, 2.15A. Both OF
these babies are possessed Of much
speed and their owners have thought
we'll enough of them to name them in
some of the big stakes for young things
and keep them paid up.
Another well-bred 3-year-old in the stable
Is Billy Dillon by Baron Dillon, 2:12i4, who
is receiving his first lessons, and will prob
ably, be drilled some over the local track
| this spring. He Is a trotter with the right
way of going. and looks like the making
of a good horse. The brown gelding, Bert
Brantford. owned by ]. II. Cuthill, Is also
In this stnble. and will be used as a matt
nee %trotter. With all this material on hand.
It is reasonable to expect ColVille to have
a very successful season next year, at the
| matinee game and for the long green.
While Mr.. Colville Is n man or wide OK
| perience, this Is bis first winter In this
locality. and the string of horses he is
winterinc speaks volumes for the conf
dence he has established for himself among
local horsemen. IT is to be hoped for the
benefit of the game that he will continue
his operations In the local horse industry,
In which he has become no small part,
