| The subject OF our illustration this
week, Bale Axworthy 3sISS, is, as far as
our knowledge extends, the sole repre-
sentative in this immediate section of
that illustrious family founded by Ak
| tell CD, 2:12, the first entire three-year-
OLD to draw a high-wheel sulky a mile
in public in so fast time. 1t has been
told and retold in these columns how
| that on the very evening of the day the
remarkable feat was accomplished a
syndicate of wealthy gentlemen, resi-
| dents Of Detroit and Chicago, purchased
the three-year-old wonder from his own
er and breeder, c. W. Williams, for the
then unheard-of sum Of S105,OO0 for a
horse of the light-harness breed
Since the day that AxtelI trotted to a
worlds record at Terre Haute in the
late SOS his sons and daughters and his
grandsons and granddaughters have been
busy making turf history so rapidly that
II would take large volume to contain
all that they have accomplished in the
production of extreme speed and on the
several tracks of the country. The su-
premest test Of sire is his breeding-on
capacity through his sons and daugh-
tiers, and this test Axtell has met as but
few sires have.
His most tluStrious son, AXworthy,
2:15h at three years, sire of Bale AK
worthy, seems destined to surpass his
sire as a progenitor OF race horses, as he
has already surpassed him as a sire of
extreme speed. While hardly yet in his
prime and in the heyday of his useful
ness, he is already the sire Of Hamburg
Belle, 2:0lk, that is also credited with
three OF the fastest heats ever trotted
in q race which she won over the cham
pion gelding of the world, Uhlan. 1:5S&..
He Is also the sire Of the one-time
worlds champion three-year-old stallion
General Watts. 2:o67!. the first three-year
old to trot as fast as that mark and
which he held until Colorado E, 2:0i%.
that magnificent son of The Bondsman,
dethroned him in 1870 Nor is this all.
The greatest five-year-old trotting geld
ing out on the Grand Circuit in 1910 is
also his son. We refer to Hailworthy.
2:05k Others In Axworthy's 2:i0 list are
Tom Axworthy, 2;07, and Guy Axworthy
90. 2:0Sz. What his sons and daughters
viii accomplish in 1911 remains to be seen,
but II his past achievements are TO be
taken as a hostage Of his future we may
rest assured that his Phenomenal record
as a sire OF extreme speed and race
horse qualities will not be dimmed.
II hsredity counts for anything in
breeding--and we know from the expert |
ence OF ages that It does-we have |
right to expect that Bale Axworthy viii |
repeat the deeds of his ancestors as a
yfre of uniform and extreme speed. In
deed. taking into consideration his rich |
breeding On his dams side, we have a /
right to expect that he VIII surpass him. !

golf enthusiasts in the District of Co
Iumbia are beginning to get themselves
in good form for the spring tournaments
Many have been playing throughout the
winter whenever the weather so permit
ted. for every sportsman knows that il
is the practice which counts if he wants
to improve his game.
Golf has been very popular here for a
long time, but it has only been in recent
:ears that the real value of the game
has been appreciated by men in all
walks of life. The simple game of knock
ing d small white ball from one part of
a field to another may seem of little
matter to the uninitiated. But there are
few games where more seriousness OF
play is required. and it doesn't take the
beginner long to discover that there is
much more to golf than that which
meets the eye.
There are four golf clubs in the city.
the Chevy Chase Club, the Columbia
Country Club, the Bannockburn Golf
Club. and the Washington Country Club.
anording sufficient opportunity for many
who may care to take up the game.
There are many good golfers in the
District who have figured prominently
in tournaments held here and in other
cities.
Mr. Walter r. Tuckerman, of the
Chevy Chase Club. who was among the
semi in the national champion
ship held in Brooklyn last year. and who
was also Middle Atlantic champion for
the year 1907, has the following to say
Of golf in general 1T is not surprising
that golf should have taken such a hold
on Washington that four separate coun-
try clubs are necessary to accommodate
the players and their families. The eli
mate of the District is so open that the
game can be played almost the whole
year around, and suitable land has been
available so near to the city that in the
spring, at least when the days are long,
the busy man can have his game be-
tween the hours of work and darkness.
Golf is a form of exercise and diver
sion suited to the needs of more differ
ent kinds of people than any other game,
and although ii is the most difficult of
all the familiar games to play well, yet
il seems to have an equal fascination for
all grades of players. In one respect at
least golf is unique and differs from
every other sport It is altogether in
dividualistic, and that is, no act of the
player directly effects his opponents
game. Each plays his own ball, uses
his own method and his own time,
chooses even his own route, and arrives
at the result in his own way
You play in company with, but not in
contact with, your adversary, and with
the minor exception of the much-abused
'stymie' there is no interference This
