MANY NEW STEPPERS
ON BROADWAY COURSE
Some Clover Brushes, Unexpected
Speed Being Shown by Several
Much Interest in the Racing.

The curbstone audience along the
Broadway snow course gathered early
Wednesday afternoon in good numbers
and saw a number of thrilling finishes
driven by over a dozen of Norwich
horsemen. 1t was a disappointment
not to have Constable Gus Lambert
down from Occum with Hal D., but
Hal D., Is a business horse most every
day in the week, and he couldn't be
spared from his job Wednesday. Gus
mas asked off for him this afternoon
and expects to go down, if theI track
holds out. L. L. Chapman's Cascade
was also missing, but there was some
classy horsehesh in front of the cut
ters and these kept the snow flying
in a number of hot finishes.
Among the best known horses seen
was Thomas H. Wilson's pacing mare
Roam Lady, which her owner drove up
without the hobbies on. Roam Lady
failed to get a race, as she ripped off
a shoe the first time down, and when
Mr.. Wilson had had this put on and
returned to the course, all the drivers
had left. He sent her down a couple
of times without a break, and Mr.. VIII
son predicts that she will throw snow
TO the best of them when he brings
her up this afternoon, with the hob
bles, as he intends to do. Owner Mi
chael B. Ring led the bunch in a brush
or two with his handsome Cresceus
colt, and Dr. George Thompson of
Taftville captured a heat with his
chestnut roader.
Frank ]. Atchison of East Great
Plain sprang a surprise with a bob
tailed bay, that had the speed If it
did look as if it had just been taken
out Of pasture. After a few warm
ing up trials. he beat out the bunch
in a driving finish at the head of the
Little Park Edgar Brown slid along
behind a smooth going trotter that
it took a good one to beat; A. 7. Gard
ner had out a black clipped trotter,
and Raymond Sharkie was down from
Taftville with a fast gray stopper,
and Henry F. Parker had a world of
speed in a coal black trotter. that was
one of the showiest horses seen.
Some of the best brushes were be-
tween the trotters belonging to Thorn
as J. Wattles with the honors going to
the chestnut mare driven by Thomas
Mullen, while Mr.. Wattles held the
reins over a black clipped horse.
Among others who took part in brush
es were Mr.. n. B. Lewis with a black
and Henry Norman with a bay.
