Richmond, where she started for q purse
of $780, which she won in straight heats,
defeating such good ones at Helen Coast
man, 2:l6 IA, and which, II is claimed,
has shown a mile in 2:1O for her million
aire owner. Back to Leonardtown the
mare was again taken, and won in
straight heats a $50 purse. Alice NJ. 8
campaign for the season Of 1911 ended at
Heathsville, where she walked over the
course for a $50 purse, just TO show the
natives how fast she could walk. The
good little mare is being wintered at
Heathsville, and is in charge of the man
who bred her, Mr.. Downey.
As heretofore remarked, no other mare,
gelding, or stallion ever owned in the
District of Columbia can present such a
string Of victories and money won in
single first season. The only mare
ever owned here that can be yfavorably
compared with Alice NJ. is Manuella,
2:OS 1-2, and we have reason to believe
that Alice NJ. won more money in her
single season of campaigning than Man
uella has won in all her three or four
years on the turf. OF course, Mr.. Mil
ler has been since he has owned Alice
NJ. the residuary legatee of good luck
in not being compelled to lower her rec
ord to the danger point He may go
through dozen campaigns in the future,
and not meet with the same good fortune.
Alice NJ. is a mare of whom District
horsemen may feel proud, and 1t Is to be
hoped that her future will be as brilliant
as her past. Mr.. Miller is TO be heartily
congratulated on owning so good and con-
sistent a race mare. In these parts she
is easily the queen of light harness
horses.
w. Dunworth journeyed all the way to
Great Falls last week to see Gentle John
in his winter quarters. He found him in
excellent condition for the work he will
be called upon to do sixty days. hence.
when he will be brought to town and
given his customary jogging. Mr.. Dun
worth has recently had several offers
for John, and had about decided to part
with him, when the scheme of a new
half-mile track halted his plans. p. J.
OKeefe, owner of Ed BALI, 2:11 IA, ac-
companisd Mr.. Dunworth on his trip.
Mr.. O'Keefe is wintering BALI at Belmont
Park, Philadelphia, in care of Robert
Bradley. He has not definitely decided
what he will do with BALI, but it is
highly probable that he will part with
him before :he racing season of 1872
opens and purchase a younger horse.
Javins Brothers, of this city, are getting
