Patrons of the local speedway will be
sorry t learn that Doc Bodenweiser
has parted with the dun trotter, Dewey
Ensign, 2:151A, and his match race over
the Speedway this week will be his last
appearance in this vicinity, after which
he will be sent to the stable of John
Taylor, of Railway, his new owner.
Since the brushes over the Speedway
started this fall the bold going dun
horse has been invincible in the trotting
brigade. having beaten the best t%rotters
in the association, and making them
like 1t. He has also taken a fall out OF
the majority of the PAGERS with the
same result, and on one occasion beat
the Rebe. 1t is very doubtful
if there Is a trotter owned In the asso-
citation today that can take the dun
horses measure over the Speedway. At
the intercity matinee meeting over the
New York Speedway this fall he was
second in the free-for-all trot to Dr..
Chase, who stepped the second heat in
1:02H, and only won by inches. Dewey
Ensign has probably made more friends
among dhe spectators and horsemen
alike than any horse that was ever
shown on the local Speedway. A better
gated trotter was never owned in this
county. He has a bold, resolute way
of going that would make him an at
tractive horse, even If he had no speed.
He was bred in Iowa and took his rec
ord in a winning race over the Spring
ED, ILL.,, track in 1906, and was sired by
Ensign, 2:2S14, sire Of 26, including Blue
Sign, 2:0SH, C. V. B., 2:151z; Tinsign,
2;15: Lardis Ensign, 2:16. etc. He ais
sired the dame of Judge B, 2:10; Wesley
r., 2:1O: Silver Sign, 2:10%! Kirkwood'
jr., 2:111k, and P. E. o., 2:14A.
One of the most pleasing horses seen on
the speedway Is the gray FLY Daisy r,
owned by John Plunkett, and IN the stabie
Of Ike Hully. She can today step lutte a
merry half over the Speedway, and with
her way of going ought to be a hard horse
to beat in the slow-pacing classes next
year.
