Barton Horses Winning Money.

:. Horses going to the races from Roar
ing Brook Stables have thus far this
season been making good and winning
lots of money. Common Voter, trained
and driven by Henry Harding, was the
first to take money, at the Montreal
races several weeks ago. At the
Nashua, N. H., two weeks meet Bar
ton horses took money in ten races,
five of which were first money and five
second. These races were taken by
seven different horses as follows: Bar
ron Wedgewood, first money in two
races; Rex. one first and one second
money; Common Voter, Bobby Nye,
Baby Girl. Mikado and Ecstatic each
took one race, Ecstatic and Mikado
taking first money and the other horses
second. Comments on the local horses
as found in the papers are as follows {:
"Mikado, driven by Harding, was
favorite in this class, but was hard
pressed in all heats by Hobson, a
Connecticut horse" Henry Harding
turned round with good trotter in
the 2.29 class, and never looked in
danger, as he got away at good clip
and went three steady miles, ''1n
spite Of couple of short losing breaks
by Ecstatic the mare out finished the
stretch in 2.173, and the race went
over: (Race went over to next day.
There was practically nothing to the
free-for-all in the postponement, as
Frank Lang was able to keep Ecstatic
on her stride throughout the two miles
necessary to complete her win. !"
Henry Harding trains and drove all
the horses except Ecstatic, owned and
driven by F. B. Lang, owner of Roar
ing Brook Park

Washington, Jan 26.-It was a

dinner, had long string attached to
his declination of another term as
president, was afforded an opportunity
to look over at close range some of
those who are in the list OF his posi-
bic successors.
An impressive feaure of the dinner
was the Inauguration of the president
of the club, James Henry of the Phila-

songs were sung to the candidates for
president, and they were all rollicking
songs, full of jollity and with not

President Fairbanks, w. J. Bryan,
Judge Gray, George AIDE, Speaker Can
