it is doubtful if there ever was a. more
tractable, lOvable, and courageous
equine. At the barrier the old fellow
is ever alert, and it is physical i'm
possibility TO leave him at the post 1t
is also interesting to note that although
he may break through the barrier he
never takes more than one or two steps
past the starting point unless it is a
go" As an instance of the love that
exists between man and beast it might
be pointed out that after John had sue
ceeded in beating the best sprinters at
Windsor, incidentally hanging I'D a new
record for the six furlongs owner
Ccttle rushed forward and throwing his
arms about the old horses neck, wept
tears Of joy AS if understanding all
and reciprocating the feeling, the horse
whinned, neighed and rubbed his soft
muzzie. on the cheek of his adoring
owner. Truly here is one remarkable
horse.
1t would seem that the action of the
governor in issuing instructions to
sheriff HeuStius to raid and destroy the
betting booths at the Grand Circuit
meeting at North Randall "a suburb of
Cleveland, spells the doom of the light
harness sport whereabouts. President
Devereaux. who was arrested and held
laws of Indiana, is quoted as saying
that he will put up a bitter fight for
the perpetuatiOn of the sport
That the blow was unlocked for was
clearly shown by the chaoc and gem
eral CONSERVATION that prevailed i'm
mediately following the raid by the
sheriffs deputies
Dude Archdale, winner of the 1910
renewal of the classic NJ. & NJ, received
her first at
and 1t is fair to presume that the ex-
peTtS have now a very clear line on
her capabilities. This was in the Ohio
stake. Previous to this the little black
mare had won her starts in such handy
fashion that a true line on her had not
been obtained. Gamar beat her a heat
at Kalamazoo, but that was on account
o. the mare not getting away we'll In
the Ohio. he had to be whipped to beat
Bervaldo in the first heat. In the Hail
worthy, she was beaten an eye lash and
when Billy Burke headed her in the
stretch in the third round the little
mare cried enough and only finished
fourth with Pop" Geers urging her for
all he was worth. Had it been a three
in five race, instead of three heat af-
fair. Dudes unbeaten record for the
season would not be a thing of the past
At that she is a great little race mare
but her race in the Ohio showed that
she can be beaten.
Speaking of Billy Burke brings to
mind that he is a wonderfully good
colt, who has always appeared to travel
under an unlucky star, until this sea-
son when he fell into the hands of Ed
BenyOn. AS a twOyearold he was
phenomenally fast but he didn't win
much money. Last season he was a
whirlwind, but just when he looked to
have the Stock Farm FutuEity at Co
lumbus won, he was taken sick and had
to be retired for the season. Previous
to this he had worked a mile in 2:07 IA
and had he been in condition he had a
better than an outside chance of being
returned the winner of the Kentucky
Futurity. Last fall. at the Fasig-
Upton sale in New York, he was pur-
chased by J. Howard Ford, owner of
Stoneyford farm, and with his change
in ownership his i'll luck seemed to
leave him. He worked we'll for Benyon
and won n Terre Haute, also a stake
race at Kalamazoo, where he trotted
the fourth heat in 2:06 ga, which equals
the worlds record for fourth heat, be
fore that time held jointly by Beuzetta
