HORSE NOTES.

Forty-four trotters entered the 2:10
list in 1908. For various reasons seven
teen of these will not be trained for
American racing this year. This leaves
twenty-seven of them that will tie
battling for the money. If all goes well
with them. A strange fatality seems
to hang over the horses which have
entered the select list when it comes to
reducing their marks, and 1909 may
prove to be no exception to this rule;
but. nevertheless. such horses as Ham

American-owned and A~merican-bred
trotting horses were highly successful at
the international horse show In London.
The trotter is the greatest all-around
horse in the world and can adapt himself
successfully to any condition and place.
Secretary Jewett is more than satisfied
With the manner in which the horses have
been kept good in the Readville handicap.
some sixty-ive in each division having
made the last payment.
Regarding the black gelding Chief. who
was distanced In the first heat of the 2:22
pace at Parkway Thursday, an explana-
ton is due in justice to the horse. In his
race on Monday he cut a tendon and
pulled up dead lame, and it was extremely
bad Judgment to start the horse Thursday.
In the hrst heat the field was scored twice,
and before they got away the black geld
ing was perceptibly lame, and SHOULD
have been sent to the stable, rather than
go the mile. He tried every inch of the
way, however, but couldn't win on his
courage.
The classes for the Salem meeting have
filled well, and some hlgh-class horse
racing should be seen on the South Jersey
track. Among the local horses who will
be seen In action are Ha lneh Lake, Kitty
Mac, Macbeth and Admorell. These horses

until after he crossed the ocean with the
Stotesbury horses which were entered
ir the international show at London. Webb
left here on May Is. and on the first of
June the report came from England that
the noted horseman had ben stricken

doubtful whether he could survive the
trip home. But Mr.. Webb rallied after
Lugano and Iona and Mary Glenor
captured the blue ribons In the big classes.

of the events at the London show, Mr..
Webb felt much improved and returned
with the Stotesbury horses. He was plan

met Mr.. Stotesbury and was engaged to
handle the bankers horses. Webb at that
time was Il professional driver.
