DR.. MITCHELL BUYS
FAST BOND ISSUE
FOR SOME RACING
Son of The Bondsman Expected
to Do Some Fine
Work.
BY WALTER e. nRLER.

r IGHT harness horse enthusiasts
generally Will be glad to know
that during the coming season
Lr. Viz ,hrop ID. Mitchell, Of East Or
ange, will be back In the sport. Dur
ing the past week DR.. Mitchell pur-
chased Bond Issue, a strictly high-class
t~rotter, that last season demonstrated
In no uncertain way that he was up to
something.
This Is one of the deals I predicted
last week, and I look for another to
break most any day that will throw q
still greater surprise into the natives.
DIR. Mitchell's purchase is a bay four
year-old stallion, by The Bondsman,
one of the most perfect types of the
American trotting stallion that / have
ever looked upon. During the past sea-
son. as a three-year-old, he took a
race record OF 2:26A over q half-mlle
track.
Those who saw him race last year
tell me his n and way Of going
were '.oil in the cam" and he was
looked upon as the highest class young
horse In Virginia, where the Doctor"
purchased him.
He is a blue ribbon winner in the
tanbark game, and has gathered In the
blue every time that he vas shown.
During the past season as a 3~-year-old
he was owned and trained by a Viz
gfnia farmer. who started him In two
races, the summaries Of which tell the
story best and are herewith appended:

RECORD shows Promise.
A 3-year-old that can trot to a record
of 2:26A over q poor. half-mile track
(the track at Roanoke is positively
third CLASSY must be looked upon as a
very worthy kind Of horse, Infinitely
higher class than . very large proper
ton of the s-year-olds with which
Of us are familiar
The fact that Bond Issue was a very
high-class colt %trotte-. coupled with his
superb way OF going and the fact that
he was given very little fast work last
Q would, indeed, indicate that he
would be a great horse this season.
DR.. Mitchell has at all times been
one of the most desirable patrons OF
the light harness horse sport; has been
In 1t simply for sports sake and per-
sonai enjoyment, and while he has had
his Just share of the training bum
combe, incident to preparing q trotter
for the racing sport, he has deter
mined to take another whirl at The
game, and horsemen can take 1t from
me that he has the goods. While Bond
Issue is not the highest-priced horse
that ever came to this city, he cost a
heap of money. l know this to be q
fact, as I had a ten-day option on
him myself for another local horseman.
Bond Issue was bred by ]. H. Thayer.
of Lexington. who bred Colorado E..
a:O4E, worlds champion s-year-old. He
was sired by The Bondsman (sire OF
Colorado E., 2:04A), dam Diligencia.
2:27h, by Expedition, out Of Nutula, by
Belmont, "a. II will be seen hat his
breeding Is strictly first-class, and the
boys will sit I'D and take notice when
this gentleman begins to parade at the
local track.
