Georgetown, where he may now be seen.
Koroni is a rich chestnut In color. was
fcaled April %. l9OS and is one OF the
handsomest types OF the Iight-harness
horse ever brought TO this or any other
section. In his conformation there is
nothing 10 criticise. In fact. he is OF the
show-horse type from the tip Of his nose
TO his handsome tail. which drags the
ground. He stands on legs which cannot
be faulted. and his disposition for a
young stallion is excellent. In fact, he is
worth going long distance 10 look at
and study He cost Mr. Morris a pretty
sum of money as a yearling; in fact,
more than was ever paid for a yearling
! by a Washlngtonian since the late Gen.
z. F. Beale bought Prince Orloff from
the late Charles Baughman.

\ And rich as the richest cream that ever
was given by Jersey COW is the breed
ing Of Koroni. He is by the champion
lfive-year-old pacing stallion Kavalii,
I2:073s, he by the champion five-year-Old
trOtting stallion Kremlin, 2:07a4 and his
dam is Rusalka, dam Of Kushan. PISA.
and three Others by Mazatlin. 2;269s, by
Electioneer. and Mazatlin out OF Rose
mont. a daughter of Piedmont and the
celebrated Beautiful Bells. Koronis sec
ond dam is Rusina, the dam Of two and
granddam of four. Rusina being the
daughter Of Belmont and the famous
Miss Russell. making Rusina fun sis
ter OF Nutwood pisa, the greatest Of all
brOod-mare sires. At the foundation Of
all these superior trotting crosses are FIVE
generations Of the best four-mie running
blood
To produce Koroni has cost Mr.. William
Russell Allen. his breeder. hundreds OF
thousands of dollars and many years OF
patient labor and thought None but
multi-miliionaire and enthusiast could
have withstood the strain. and yet Ko-
roni is 10 be unsexed. II Is surely a pity,
in fact. shame. As 10 whether Koroni
possesses speed or not 1t only remains
TO be said that he trotted an eighth over
the Allen Farm half-mile track as a year
ling in IS seconds. Kavallrs dam. Al
mera. by Kentucky Prince, is the dam Of
six and the granddam Of eight.

| From across the Potomac, at St Asaph,
come tales Of wondrous bursts OF speed
by horses in training. Recently, It is said.
Miss Hobson at the end OF jogging mile
Ireeled of a quarter in 2S7a seconds, a rate
Of speed Dan Patch, 1:55. has not sur

lated about Miss HObsons phenomenal
speed by gentlemen worthy Of belief that
there must be some truth In what is said.
p. J. O'Keefe's Potwith Boy Is also said
TO be coming fast at the Uot. and his
iowner feels justified in entering him lib
ieraly in stakes OF consequence. Certain
It IS that he Is bred right and his sire is
beginning 10 figure prominently in the
extreme speed list.
Frank Groves Florence Kushan, a daugh-
ter of Kushan and Florence Wilkes, is
stilI on the trot and Corbin Is very much
pleased with her. Fred Potts Miss Ku-
lshan looks 10 be about the best green
prospect at the trot at St Asaph. She is
big and strong and gated very much
j
the Kushan order. The r. F. Hall string
at 81. AsRph are also in the come on
list. Probably the gem OF the lot is the
brown mare Alma. 2;15i4. which is certain
20 enter the 2:1O list the coming racing
season, and she too. should have a
chance TO try her racing qualities on
some Of the big rings where money and
honor are 10 be gained. Frank Tippetts'
Won March is also the candy at the his
Itoric track. Sweetheart 2:17l4. now prom
ises TO be a good money winner, and al
though Mr.. Hall has lost Miss Hobson,
according 10 accounts received, he viii be
represented by a strong stable in 1910
As TO whether Gallant Maid will get 10
the races or not will depend on now she
takes her prep" Corbin intends to give
her a thorough searching before he puts
the final question TO her George Hitler
airy, Of West Washington, Is not saying
much, but he dropped a remark the other
day that he thought Miss Mary would
prove worthy OF her breeding and make
him a useful mare the coming season.
His big Red Medium mare is being logged
and stepped fast quarters at the finish OF
her work. Mr.. Hillerary is going slow
with her and hopes her front props
will stand the amount of speed that he
knows she possesses.
p. J. Steubner's mare Cora Virgins Is
doing all that Corbin asks of her Wig
gins. the sire OF her dam, is looming up
as one OF the very greatest sires Of ex-
IRENE speed. In all Corbin has fifteen
head of trotters and PAGERS in training
at the present time.
J. c. Mott, on this side Of the river. has
IN his stables eleven head OF good pros
poets. among the lot new one owned
by Gen. Nelson A Miles. This fellow is
a chestnut, a trotter. and goes a good
lick. He is by the well-known Tonnes
see sire. NIcEwen, and Mr.. Mott is getting
him ready for Speedway work. Occasion
ally the general may be seen behind the
gelding on the Potomac Driveway Dur
ing the past week Mr.. Mott has not been
able % get his horses out Of their stalls
very much on account Of the frequent
rains. Russell G.. 2:l7i4 and Jubllanta,
2:lsh, are the most forward horses in his
care and will respond TO the first ringing
Of the bell.
1t may be positively stated that Henry
Copperthite viii give a Decoration Day
meeting at his Burke. Va. track, no mat
ter what goes on elsewhere. Mr.. Copper

celve the hearty support Of horse owners
in the District Of Columbia. because for
r years past he has been their friend and
patron. When horseman wins a purse
at Burke he gets what is coming 10 him
and he gets it promptly. No such audi
