Some Promising Ones Now Being Worked Ou'
at Lamoille Valley Fair Grounds

Prospects are unusually bright for the
racing season, from the standpoint Of
Morrisville trainers. The large string OIL
horses from the Utton stables have
gone into summer quarters on the Fail
Grounds, where they will be worked ou'
on the track, which is in fine condition
There are also many good ones in 7 W.
Utton's stable which will be heard from
in the coming races.
w. j. Utton is training string of eight,
among them being some of the old favor
ties, who are sure to win new laurels, as
we'll as few ''green Ones" of much
promise.
Chas. Wrisley and Wesley Goldthwaite
are back again as stable men, which is
sufficient assurance that the String will
be given the best of care.
Silverheels, 2:144, owned by Nat Bar
rows and Orlo Luce of Stowe, heads the
list and is looking good for a faster rec
ord the coming season. He is in fine
condition and should be at his best, hav-
ing been entered in the IA stake.
Oradell, the black gelding owned BY
Lewis Seaver of Willamstown, is one OF
the old favorites, which has a mark IN
2:174. He will start in the circuit and
should give a good account of himself,
while one of the promising green ones
is the trim black mare, Josephine, owned
by Mr.. Seaver, it is expected. will
start in some of the slow stake races
Other new ones are the handsome bay
stallion Scribnot, 2:2l4, the property of
Carl Woodwork of Enosburg and the
green" mare owned by Roy Smith Of
Stowe, which looks and acts like "com-
en-" Also green trotting mare owned
by E. A. Ashland of Burlington, and
chestnut geding, the property of P. Grit
fifth of Moretown. 1t is also expected
that half-sister of Silverheels, recently
purchased by Nat Barrows of Stowe will
be added to the string She resembles
her halt-brother and the knowing ones
predict for her career equally as bril- |
liant. w. >. Utton, the junior partner |
will do the driving in all the races, as |
usual, in late years and will probably |
get chance to try them out in some of |
the preliminary meetings before the |
opening of the circuit in Newport about |
August l. The many friends of John, |
the genial veteran horseman and driver,
will be glad to learn that his health is |
considerably improved and that he is |
again able to take an active interest in |
the business with which he has been |
identified for so many years.
II, w. Utton's barn will also contribute |
the usual number of live ones this sea-
son, among them being the old favorites,
Red Brine, 2:211s, owned by Barton par
ties and Polly Warner, the little pacing |
mare of Mr.. Aiken of Louisiana, who is |
also the owner of Julia Yeiser, a good |
green mare, which should develop into a |
fast one. Chehallis, JI., and Star Elm,
both the property of W. S. Cheney, are |
being handled by Tom this season, as |
we'll as Silk Wilkes, a Quarter Silk colt,
owned by Geo. w. Clark and Utton. |
Tim Shorey of Newport is here for the |
summer with good looking horse by |
Harrison Wilkes and several other drivSrs |
will probably take advantage of the track
privileges little later in the season.
