Horse Notes
BREEDING SPEED IN MAINE.

The well-known turf writer. Mil
ton Hatch, now on the STAFF of the
American Breeder, has the following
in a recent number of that journal:
Maine was once a leader In New
England, and. in fact, was doughty
rival for any part Of the country In
Tie production of speed. This was in
the early days. Of course. and her
trotters were descendants of Win
throp or Maine Messenger, a 17-hand
1%o0-pound gray horse. He got Bash
Messenger and other noted horses
The Witherell Messenger, The Eaton
Horse. Quimhy Messenger and other
well-known Maine sires were de-
sccnd.d frcm him, and he iahl the
foundation for the Maine roadster,
which many even row regur'l as the
best In the world. General Knox, a
Vermont-bred horse. crossed upon
Messenger mares. and thoss OF Drew
blood, got superior trotters and road
sters. and Maine became soon after
this the Mecca of horsemen. There is
very little of the blood of the family
of Winthrop Messenger to be found In
the state ard the Knox blood IL back
several generations whenever i,scov-
cred. Maine may have paid In recent
years little too much attention to
speed at the expense OF size and quail
ity. The unsightly hopples have been
employed in too many instances
where 25 or 40 years ago the trainer,
by careful balancing. would have
made a good trotter.. As a birthplace
of crack PAGERS Maine would appear
outside the pale. and there Is evidence
that her breeders have decided that
the trotter is their one best bet. At
the Maine State fair this fall we saw
a split-heat race where the four COM
peting trotters, three of which won
heats, looked able to beat 2.20, and
three of them were young Maine-bred
ones. The winning PAGERS in a ma
jority of cases come from the Middle
West. Well-bred Jams are now no
rarity, as at one time In the Pine Tree
State, and she has stations with blood
of the best from the various lines. 1t

There is a little band of Eganites
down in the vicinity of Centeryilie
which is so eagerly enthusiastic to
see George Egan become a candidate
for governor on the republican ticket
that Egan has finally consented TO
yield to the wishes of those friends
and has announced himself as Z cam
didate for the nomination before the
primaries of next year. His csndi-
dacy seems to be based on a support
that is scattered in all parts CT the
state. Last year Egan was helping
the insurgents, and supported Gov
ernor Wesley in the primary cam
paign. Now, without any apparent
reason, Egan me out against Yes
sey, for he knows full well that the
stalwarts will not give him the least
support. Even at that the insurgent
support will be very much cut up,
and there is a strong possibility of
the stalwarts throwing the governor
their support. Egan is going to
start his campaign early in October,
and he proposes to speak in every
town in the state in defense of his
platform, and there is little in it that
fore this. Recently the Sioux City
News published a story taken from
the records of the circuit court at
Logan, Iowa, in which Egan is
mixed up with a young lady there,
and which he ought to clear up be-
fore he talks of being a candidate
for governor. On the moral issue
there is no comparison between
Wesley and Egan, and Egan
has shown no particular Qualifca-
tons for the position. Really a man
ought to 1--we in a state just a few
years in order that the people may
know him. Egan's residence has
been so short that there is really lit
