NJ to be one of the most versatile
trotters in sight is the chest
nut gelding DR.. Bill, 2:19ls. owned by
Dolph Schleuer, of Montclair.
During the last two ~season while he
was owned by DR.. Mitchell, of East
Orange and under his present owner
ship. he has in a measure been a dis
appointment by reason of his DISPOSE
ton not to go away in a field of horses,
a failing thai has cost him several
! "ihrsts."
Last year he was trained by Charley
| Brewer, of Westield. early in the sea-
son. and later turned over to Jack
Phillips at Parkway, one OF the most
careful and p~ainstaking trainers in tho
metropolitan district yet Philips was
unable to overcome DIR. Bills only
fault. He made speed rapidly for the
Brooklyn trainer, and ] have timed
him a last quarter in 80 seconds over
the Parkway track and saw him trot
a mile in 2:14 with apparent ease.
AT all times he could show speed
enough to win every race II his class
If he would attend to business going
away from the wire.
At this time it would appear reason
able to believe that he had entirely
forgotten the foolishness of the past.
Those who have watched him take his
work tell me that thus far IL has not
offered to do a wrong thing and has
shown a disposition to take kindly 10
scoring away.
II this be the case, and l for one hope
it is a fact. as a good, game man owns
him, DIR. Bill should be n of the very
best trotters doing businet5 in the
bushes this season. He has speed
enough to make most trotters In his
class look like "pikers.'
That he is a thoroughly game horse
there car be no doubt in the minds
OF all who saw him race at Baltimore
in 1908, when he took his record. / saw
him win q four and a five-heat raca
in four days, and a horse never trotted
two better nor two gamer races in two
weeks. Every man in the race was
out to e a the chestnut son of Sidney
Prince, yet he got past vita the big
end of the bank rolf in each race,
the summaries of which may be of
general interest and are appended:

sage's outht Arrives.
The outfit of the local trainer, Ralph
sage, horses owned by c. J. Farr and
W.. L. Burkhardt, arrived at the local
track Monday, and some of the horses
will doubtless be started at the matinee
events Saturday.
sage has had the horses on the New
york speedway for the past thirty
days, and they nave done right well
over the famous Harlem river drive.
The bay pacing gelding Ben Dat was
never better in his life, and during his
stay in the metropolis stepped a half
In LOO. which would Indicate that he
had q world of speed this season and
that 1t would take quite a horse to
hand him anything in the class to
which he Is eligible.
His trainer has during the past win
ter been very hopeful OF this fellow,
and while he Is a mar OF a very few
words md would much prefer to have
the horse show than to tout for him
! have roaHone for believing that Ben
ioat has shown him sone things that
