Blue Ribbon Meeting

More than one hundred trotters
and PAGERS are taking their daily
work at the Detroit fair grounds
where the annual opening of the
grand circuit will be held July 81
to 81. EVERYBODY who comes is
pleased with the work on the track,
the new surface making it one of the
best in the country, and assuring
plenty of speed when the Blue Ribbon
events are held.
Scott McLane, of Coldwater, one
Of the best trainers in the business
has four head, including Octoo,
2:10% (trotting) and Auto, 2:07A
(pacing). A few days ago Octoo
stepped the stretch quarter in 30&
seconds, or at a rate of mile in2: 03
which shows the excellence of the
new soil.
Applications for stable room have
been received from all over the
country and it is expected. that by
July / there will be 200 high class
harness performers at the grounds.
Reports from Peoria, Columbus,
Terre Haute, Memphis and other
places where horses are being train
ed for the Detroit stake events, are
to the effect that they are coming
along finely and showing plenty of
speed. The field in the NJ. & NJ.
stake promises to be the largest in
years and in it will be half dozen
evenly matched trotters that have
shown ability to beat 2:10. The
absence Of a speed marvel like Som
oma Girl lends to the attractiveness
of the race, (which this year should
be one of the best contests on the
American turf.

HE'S STILL SMILING
LOCAL REPUBLICAN SAYS THAT
FORDNEY's POSITION
STRENGTHENED BY CONVENTION
One of CannOn's Best Friends Land
ed as Vice-President, Victory for
the Two JOes.
From the Press.Ameircan.

-
A local Republican who does not
openly ally himself with either fac
ton, Fordney or anti-Fordney, has
the following to say of the congress-
man:
at seems to me that Fordney has a
license to keep on smiling. His en-
emies expected him TO come to grief
in the Chicago convention because of
supposed opposition to Taft, but they
are previously disappointed. He
showed great finesse in delicate sit
uation, and gained considerable
ground, / think.
Taft was nominated, which was
presumably not what Fordney want
ed. But the fact that Taft would win
out was conceded for weeks, so the
effects of that setback were discount
ed, and Fordney could bend all his
energies to other details of the
game.
"Well, he landed on the resolutions
agement on his part, and poor poll
tics on the part of his enemies. He
was in the thick Of the injunctions
resolutions fight, but managed to
keep the Michigan delegation with
him, which also makes him stronger
'Then he aad his friend, Uncle Joe
Cannon, could not nave had a more
satisfactory nomination for vice
president had they made it them
selves, for Sherman and the two
Joes are cronies personally and po-
litically. With a personal friend on
the tail-end of the national ticket,
Fordney cannot be accused of luke
warmness in that tickets support,
for the success or failure of Taft
means the success or failure of Sher-
man. The man who works for one
must work for both.
Really, Fordney CAME out of that
convention more firmly entrenched
than ever, for his course was skill
full and consistent, while the Michi-
gan delegation as 4 whole, by back
ing and filling so much, cut but sor-
ry figure. l guess Joseph's scalp is
too firmly fastened on to be lifted by
Mr.. Fitzgerald and his allies this
campaign"

He is an excellent nan, however"
Detroit is still specializing over
what Ferris meant when he said in
that city recently that he would take
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor "only under extraordinary cir
cumstances."
The Detroit Journal figures out
that the most likely set of "extraor-
binary circumstances" in Mr.. Ferris
mind would be the failure Of the Re-
publicans to name candidate in the
primary, throwing the selection into
the convention where the old ma
chine might dominate. The next
best bet is the selection of Johnson
as president by the Democrats, still
in the opinion of the Journal.
