The racing season practically closes
with the first week in October.
Miss Stokes, a yeariing by Peter the
Great, has set the 2-year- old trotine
record at 2:1sM. The former record for
2-year-old trotters, 2:2S, has stood for
fifteen years.
The Eel got his at last. Both Aileen
Wilson and Copa De ORC beat him at
Columbus. But he has the small con-
ISOLATION of lcnowing that while he was
third, Citation and Hedgewood Boy
were fourth and nth. The time was
2:O2, 2:o3h and 2:o4%. Copa De
Orc won the first heat and went to the
half In :5sh.
Maggie Winder won the 3-year-old
pace at Columbus Ia 2:0s% and 2:0S1s.
That's going some.
Sonoma Girl appears to be at her
self. She won the free-for-all trot at
Columbus in 2:06A, 2:06 and 2:07.
Black Diamond, owned by ]. r. Col
Inns of Page, N. D., won the AIT pace
at Wheaton, Mimi, in straight heats,
going to his mark-2:17N.

firsts and a number OF seconds and
thirds. He is in the 2:2o class now,
and appears to be coming.
p. T. Olston has returned to Fargo
with Bayheart, jr, after a successful
racing season.
Copa de Ora seems able to copper
de coin.
Grace Red, the pacing mare owned
by ]. T. Smith, of Fargo, and driven
by b. T. jerks, is making good in
the Wisconsin races.
Sonoma Girl worked a mile at Mil
wat1lSee in 1904. She went to the half
in 1905, the third quarter in 30 sec
onds and the last quarter in 20 seconds.
That's trotting. She was newer better
than at present and has quit the un-
pleasant habit Of pulling at the score.
General H.. 2:11A, owned by VIM.
Parslow, Calgary, Can, has started
thirteen times and won twelve first
monies, losing one race to PAGER in
a mixed race. The Horse Review, in
comenting on his work this season,
says: His first seasons start was at
home, in late May, and when you see
him now, carrying a lot Of flesh and
looking fresh and sound, you begin to
wonder IL it isn't the right thing to
start horses early, race them into
condition and eat your pudding dur
ing the racing season, rather than de-
your it by excessive and long pFepara-
tion before the race starts. Think it
over" "
The Broncho, 2:OoA, is working fast
and sound.
Lester Murphy is winning a lot of
first money with the Safeguard.
Joe MCGUIRE is racing the horse Lee
Crawford very successfully on the north
Pacific circuits.
The question many are asking, is:
How fast is George Gano?
Lady Maud c and Hedgewood Boy
will be in demand next season as at
fractions. IS.
Country Jays mile under saddle al
Syracuse in 2:0S14, was a wonderful
performance, particularly in view OF
the fact that this is his second appear
ance as a race horse. having been re-
tired as broken down years ago.
Shamrock is racing well but is but
ted in with lot of bear cats"
Governor Sarles, the North Dakota
PAGER. still continues in his winning
way" He is certainly the most con-
sistent racing tool this northwestern
country has produced, and is richly en-
titled to the high position he holds in
the eyes of the lovers of the light
harness horse.
