GREAT RAGING TEAM
 AT PHOENIX FAIR

| \ pie who have followed the harness
 horse racing game during the past few years are we'll acquainted with the remarkable performances of the
 worlds greatest pacing team. Many
 will come to the Arizona fair on No vember 8 for the sole purpose of see ing the famous brother and sister These people and many who cannot come will be interested to learn some of the interesting facts about them which are detailed in the following account of their lives:
 Hedgewood Boy. 2:0l and Lady Maud C.. 2:02H, have occupied . prominent position on the horse rac ing stage for several years. They have not only been formidable con tenders in all the large pacing stakes of the country, but with the exception of Dan Patch and Minor Heir they have been the most popular exhibition horses. Their feat of lowering the worlds pacing team record from 2:05h to 2:o2x was considered one of the most marvellous accomplish. ments of harness horse history. The fame of the pair was given world wide circulation.
 The famous team is unique in many respects. They are full brother and sister. with years difference in their ages, fayoring the stallion. They are both chestnut in color. They are within an inch of the aame height and when in eouAl1y rood condition will weigh within nve pounds of each other. They are remarkably mated in every particular, are devoted to each other and in fact are the most perfect example of brothrly love re- corded in horse history.
 J. C. Crabtree. eight years ago this summer, visited Tsylorville, ILL, for the purpose of marketing his water melon crop. While there he heard that there was horse sale in prog ress and he visited it out of curiosity. His attention was called to a grawthy yearling lilly and her yearling broth CT. Mr. Crabtree was a good Illinois farmer and at once picked out these two colts as having the qualities requisite for farm work horses. He bought them at a low price and has never been sorry.
 The brother and sister were edu-
 
 broke their duties varied from pull ing a blow and hauling a load to market to taking a Sunday spin on the country road. They were big of bone, strong and sound. Nothing hurt them. They had the reputation of be. ing able to draw furrow straighter than any team in the neighborhood.
 One day they were little short Of work and when hitcked to the family buggy they cut loose. Their owner thought they were running away. Later he learned they were only pac- ing. The runaway pacers began to attract more than local attention and as four and five year olds the pair were given some little instruction and preparation in the racing game. From that time on they have had a won- derful career. In spite of many changes in training methods and some unfortunate experiences with various drivers they have continually demon strated their unusual class and great ness. Last summer they did credit to their early training in double har- ness and astonished the world by their sensational performances.
 When M. W. Savage added this fa- nous Chitwood pair to his string of champions he made a move that ccr- tainly adds to the popularity of his exhibition features. Besides holding the worlds team record for one mile, Lady Maud c. has had the distinct ion of beating nearly all of the fast est pacefs and holds the worlds record for a three heat race. Both horses are in excellent condition and have not suffered nor contracted single blemish from their many cam paigns- Hedgewood Boy is now 6 years old and Lady Maud c is 9, and after the training and care they have received at the International stock farm this spring, their efforts of the past are expected to be out classed.
 The sensational pair was sired by Chitwood. 2:z2H, son of Nutwood, 2:18&. Their dam is Noretta, by Norris, 2:22h: second dam Maggie Yeazer (dam of Walnut Hall, 2:08N, sire of Harvester. {. 2.06, etc) by Red Wilkes: third dam Docia Payne by A1mont; fourth dam, Maggie Gaines, by Blood's Black Hawk.
