High-Class Youngsters Being
Prepared to Clean Up
Big Stakes.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

Ine IutuTlty COllS keep on perform
ing in q most creditable manner and
are a living proof that the breeders of
this country are conducting their
operations on the right lines. In the
next few weeks the balance of the
futurities will be decided, and it is safe
to predict that the races will be of
unusual interest whether any of the
worlds records are broken or not.
The remarkable thing is that not n
or two record breaking colts are out
racing or being prepared for the big
stakes, but a large number of high
class youngsters are being pointed for
the futurities.
The record breakers are the pioneers
that indicate that better things are
coming. When they are followed, as
this season, by a veritable army of
young things, that are race horses of
q high order, it is proof that the ideal
that has been sought for many years
is being realized; not by one or two
breeders but by many. Thu future is
surely bright with promise.
The chestnut pacing mare, Lillian
w, in the stable of Cliff Woodruff,
owned by Tom Preston, begins to work
as though she would make quite a good
race mare. She looks better and acts
better Just at present than at any time
since she landed in Newark. In the
opinion of most horsemen the mare has
always been trained to death. She is
growing with her work, and Is a living
example of the practibility of the
Woodruff brand of training horses. 1t
is quite probable that this young
trainer will get a couple of good races
out of the chestnut mare this fall.
Lillian w. was bred at the Glen Lake
Farm, Versailles, Ky, foaled in 1902
and sired by Ordale, 2:23H (sire Of six
in the list), by Onward. 2:25A, consid-
cred by many tine greatest son of
George Wilkes, dam Belle Wheeler, by
Chatterton, 2:1S, a producing son of
Crittendon, 443.
Two of the best green trotters seen
at the local track this year are the bay
mares Argo Dillon and Ruth Dillon, in
the stable of Billy Colville. Both were
sired by Baron Dillon, 2:12. They have
an excellent way Of going, are good
headed things n are able to beat 2:2o

generally. Billy has a mild, patient
disposition, the best in the world for IA
horse trainer. He has made a host of
friends among local horsemen Of the
best class. -
Ike Hully and Billy Colville have
been in the money in every race in
which they have started this fall with
horses trained over the local track.
There was quite a lot OF sport at the
track Saturday afternoon when eight
or ten horses were worked. Their cf-
forts furnished a bundle of fun and
excitement for those present. Now
that the trainers at the local track are
racing each week workout day has
been changed from Friday to Satur-
day with many horses, and horsemen
will find the track a good place to
spend Saturday afternoon from now
on. Among the well-known horsemen
present Saturday were Jacob Meyer,
