from H.. B. Murchie, who witnessed the
performance, to the writer may interest
local horsemen. Mr.. Murchie says in
part: II want to tell YOU of the most re-
ml1kable mile made this season at Read
vile. Cochato is Il great young horse,
both physically and mentally, and 1t is
exceptional. also questionable, If not un-
wise, to have a horse at this time of the
year, and while in the stud, to be per-
mttted to step a full mile in 2:1212. al
though able to finish the mile with so
much power and speed as Cochato dis
played in his fast mile on Friday Inst at
the Readville track. Mr.. Johnson has
been away a greater part of the season,
and his temperament is such that he is
liable to let a horse step If he acts as
though he wanted to, 1t might here be
added that j. M. Johnson, the owner of
Johnson Farm and the stallion Cochato,
is Mr.. Murchie's nephew. Another part
of Mr.. Murchie's letter continues as fol-
lows: The fact that impresses an OBJ
server at Readville is the large number
of Bingens and the produce of his sons.
John Young has some splendid 2 and j.
year-old FLIES and colts by Bingara. and
they all have speed. | saw a 3-year-old
step the fifth and sixth heat in 2:201a and
2:20; the last half in 1907. He has 2-year-
oldS that can beat 2:25. A 2-year-old colt by
Kavalli in Henry Titer's stable. has race
horse qualities, and If he keeps sound is
sure to be a contender for the futurities.
| have seen so many babies 2 and 8 years
old step miles better than 2S0 that l
stopped putting their names down. Mr..
NdCNtii nus INV ~ "a oib ny NJ
Dougall at Hartford that stepped miles
better than 2:21. Czarena Bingen, that
showed PIG last season as a 2-year-old,
and has been given miles this season in
2;l7 to 2:1S. is in Henry Titer's stable.
She is entered at Brockton, Mass. as
are the LasseH colts by McDougall, which
l hav mentioned in this letter. Mr..
Eofin's colt (meaning the 3-year-old
Wetherill in the stable of Billy Coville),
by JAY Bird and Annie Kohl, are en-
tered in that stake, so you may appre-
ciate the task before them to make a
fair showing, Most of the Youngsters at
Readville are educated to race between
two horses driven to assist them; some
Sir Todd. a 5-year-old son Of Todd. is
about the best trotter at Readville.
Cohlan is in excellent condition, and Bob
Proctor is giving him a VERY careful
preparation. A lot of miles around 2:15
is the schedule at the present writing.
He is a well-balanced horse and has all
the qualities. physically and mentally, for
greatness, His full brother. Lexington,
has two-minute speed, and is being care
fully taught to race by Proctor. I have
just been advised by, telephone that An
ME Kohl had the misfortune of picking
up a nail. They never do that unless II
t%rotter.. However, / am advised what
has been done. of which ] approve and
ments. | viii go on with her. track work
neXt week if she is ready. She. of course,
looks cheap alongside or compared with
the young stars mt Readville. but that
does not disturb me any | will have her
ready to the best of my ability when
wanted. and | think that she will be
good enough to worry some ore."
