Goshen and Dongan Hills, and this did
him no good, as he needs a lot OF
racing to have him right at his best
form. His next stunt will be in the
2:14 trot at Trenton, and his trainer
looks for him to be good at that time.
Horsemen at Syracuse Tuesday were
doubtless gratif1ed when it was an
nounced hat Tommy Murphy would
not start the sensational r. T. G. in
the $40, 900 Empire State Stake. The
qualification did not last long, how
ever, as the New York trainer won the
event In straight heats with Charley
Mitchell, a horse owned by Charley
N%eidhardt, of Jersey City, Last season
Charley Mitchell was in the stable Of
Herman Tyson, and beat the local
horse Igo, at that time owned by Will
lam Klank, of this city, many times
over the Southern tracks, where they
were both racing. Mr.. Neidhardt paid
SO, 500 for him early in the spring, and
he was indeed a cheap t%rotter, as he
won more han paid for himself IN his
race at Syracuse.
The result of the Goshen meeting
this year, the first grand circuit meet
ing ever conducted yer a two-lap
course, was in every way a success.
The venture would indicate that local
horsemen might expect several such
sessions over the half-mile tracks near
by the metropolis another season. The
fact hat a meeting at Columbus was
l.. H. ~ rvon1r InT1 ht1ncc
hurt Goshen in the matter Of entries,
but without an opposition as worthy as
Columbus all the grand circuit horses
would have been seen in action at the
Historic track"
The big bay pacing mare, Miss SYRIA
cuse, 2:10A, who has been living a life
of leisure at Ardmaer Farm since last
autumn, was exhibited at the Local
track during the matinee session last
Saturday. The daughter of Strathallar
is believed to be in foal to the mighty
Bingen, 2:06h, and her foal by that
horse should be a worthy one and in
every way crafty its owner.
Irving G. STEELE was in town Satur-
day and reports the bay stallion, Thu
Farmer, owned by |. N. Voorhees,, th'
local horseman in nice shape. During
the past week he was timed separately
in a race in 2:1S, which would indicate
a big improvement in the horse. III
is entered in a number of stakes dow
South to be raced next month, and hi
trainer confidently expects to put {
scratch below 2:2O on him before thu
snow flies.
The brown trotting gelding Allersol
was a very agreeable surprise in hi
first appearance in a race last Satur
day. According to William Klanlk, hi
owner, he came here with q reputation
for being a bad actor, a quality h
failed to display. He never offered t
!; do a wrong thing, is a good gated trot
/ ter and acts like he liked to race. II
has trained a mile for Herman Tyso
| this year with very little or no wor
in 2:27h, and the indications are tina
he will become a useful kind of
t horse.
Jimmy Carpenter, the Readvill
trainer, is surely playing a funny gam
with Annie Kohl, who was bred by an
5 / up " Htl o-y6dA oAh OAA -
3 II. b. Murchie, OF South Orange. It
: doubtless Carpenters intention not I
mark the mare yet. In all of her race
D she should easily have landed secon
money, as the winner never went fa'
enough to beat her. AT long range
looks like a job to let somebody stei
the mare, and her performances thro'
a shadow of suspicion upon her traint
and driver.
4 At Mineola on the opening day, Sci
temher 26, the brown gelding Bistal
in the outfit of Pete Goode, and the ID
bay stallion Border Guard, trained !
Jackie Phillips, will lock horns in II
81, O00 stake for 2:24 trotters. This wi
be a horse race for blood, and it Won
- indeed be foolhardy to predict the VIII
ner. Both are fast and courageot
race horses and both will be out f
the first division of the big purse, al
it is perhaps needless to say there w
! be Something doing the entire Jou
ney.
