BY W. E. ERLER.

Copa de Ora, the second, new 2:O5
PAGER for the season of 1908, is a good
looking bay stallion by Nutwood Wilkes,
dam Atherine, 2:16& drotting), by
Patron, :214A: second dam Athere
dam of Afoon, 2:27ha), by Harold. He
is malnered like Joe Patchen and Dan
Patch. and while he does not appear to
possess sensational speed he car step
a quarter irf4Ss29A and an eighth in IA
seconds His forte is that of a rater,
and the PAGER who starts out to beat
him in his present form must have the
ability to step either end of the mile in
about a minute, and the slow end of it
right a 1903.
He has thus far won all of his starts
this year. and the 2:06 class does not
seem to have any member capable of
taking his measure. No gamer PAGER
ever scored for the word.
