AS for Gentle John, he also descends
from a MISUNDERSTANDING family, and he
is bred as stout as the stoutest. He is a
pure-gaited trotter and. without much
training, has shown himself capable OF
trotting a mile very close to 2:25. Before
Potwith Boy was placed in the hands OF
Corbin there was little to choose between
them in The matter OF speed.

as good as claimed, she should be able TO
be somewhere near the Doctors wheel at

Nothing but a gOod-mannered and fast

well-nigh perfect and he can get away
like runaway horse.

The announcement last week that Read

had dropped out Of the grand circuit
came as a surprise and disappointment
20 all Eastern horsemen. The tracks in
the cities named have for many years
past been the main props Of the Eastern
grand circuit They have distributed In
their time hundreds of thousands Of dol
lars among breeders and horse owners
generally. and the honest manner in
which they conducted their meetings al
WAYS drew thousands Of people TO their
respective tracks
I'nquestionably races will be given at
an Of the tracks named during the racing
season. but not under the sanction Of the
grand circuit officials. Buffalo. after
Withdrawing early from the circuit. has
roscinded its action and will give a three
or four days meet From Buffalo most

circuit will be congested and the contest
for honors fierce.

Pennsylvania, West Virginia, aud Ohio
circuits, where the purses are larger
than they are in this section He will
run up against some mighty fast horses

as foxy as they make them nowadays, it
/ may be suspected that he has some pretty
good things Up his sleeve or he would not
undertake the venture
