Happy ne Great Record:

American Sportsman.
One OF the big features of the
Rockport meeting last week was
the performance of the trotting
stallion Happy j., who trotted 8
heats In 2;l21, 2.12h. 2:14a and
showed himself to be tTotter of
real GLASS.
With one exception it was the
three fasteBt heats ever trotted by
a stallion over a half-mile track
The record being held by Solan
Grattan, which trotted in 2:ll4,
2:18A and 2:10s over an Illinois
half-mile track in 1905.
Happy Us three heats in 2:l24,
2:12S, 2:144 are undoubtedly the
three fastest heats ever trotted
over a half mile track in Ohio by
stallion, and in each of the heats
the SON of Happy Partner looked
capable of trotting in Gil at least.
1t was most splendid showing,
and the extreme speed and GLASS
