sic, work a mile in 2:32k Wednesday.
The youngster trotted the final quar-
ter in 35A seconds. On that day he
was given four miles, the first in 2:42;
the second in 2:37, the third in 2:S2fs,
and the fourth in 2:42.
He stepped the final quarter in the
third mile with apparent ease we'll
within himself, and can at this time
doubtless trot a quarter in SO seconds,
and ! think that if he was ''honed'
from wire to wire, he could beat 2.25.
He is the most superb 2-year-old at
P~oughkeepsie, and the most taIked-ot
horse upon the track.
Barring accidents he will be the Muir
ply candidate in all the stakes to
which he is eligible, and he has been
entered in the 2-year-old trot at Lex
ington.
The bay flly Katy o'Neil and the
roam fHy Gwynmine, both by Walnut
Hall, who last winter were the most
highly touted 2-year-olds in the coun-
try. are both out of commission and
will not start in their ~2-year-old en-
gagements. I do not mean that they
are broken down or %unsound, but they
are not up to anything, and are only
being logged.

While he is a big slashing gated
horse, he goes around the turns like q

At this time he had been asked for
