Two Local Men, Mr. Burns and
doc" Bodenwieser, Have
Entered Horses.
BY WALTER e. ERLER.

A S has been confidently expected
~ by horsemen generally in the
metropolitan district, the early
closing events at Hohokus which closed
last week, and are to be decided on
July 4, filled handsomely and whlie
there Is perhaps not as much quality
as some horsemen had anticipated
there are in each event several horses
of known merit. If on race day they
are sound and all right it will be a
survival of the %f1ttest." and morse
races worth going a long way to see.
Local horsedom has a representative
in each event and while there are sew
eraI local horses eligible to the classes
their owners did not see fit to enter
them and 1t Is VI to us all to salute
the game ones who had confidence III
their horses ability. These owners
are:
Doc Bodenweiser. owner OF the pay
mare Esther B., 2:24A, entered IN the
2:19 trot, and James Burns. owner OIL
the roam pacing stallion, Mcneil, en-
tered In the 2:18 pace To me both OF
these horses on the form they displayed
last autumn and their supurb physical
condition at this time. should have q
chance to connect with the legal ten
DER barring accidents, OF course.
In the bay mare, Esther B., DOC
Bodenweiser has a fast mare capaole
of holding her own in the class 10
which she is eligible.
At the Hohokus meeting h will be
started six seconds out of her class,
and while to some this is not good
Judgment 1t must be borne in mind Il
this is a 81, 1000 event, in which the VIM
ner gets $40 net.
If a trotter can't win in a 2:19 Class
he can't win In a slower class as a
rule. I don't meal to infer that 2:19 VIII
win, but l do think they won't go d
great deal faster on July 4, and ! am
not losing sight of the fact that some
really worthy horses are entered.
Conspicuous among these are Shaw"
by, 2:1sA, owned by Richard Delaftld'
the New York banker. This fellow was
a 2:15 trotter last year, and is at this
time entered In the &c., 900 Charter Oak
stake at Hartford. But he went lame
last July. Bistan, 2:261s, by Bingara,
In the stable Of Pete Goode. looks like
one Of the big show, and his trainer ex-
poets to give him a record of 2:15, but
not on July I.
valette, by Nobel, in the outfit of
George Corwin. was right close to a
2:15 trotter last year. and must be
reckoned with, and Eddie HollenNeck s
entry, Doctor B, will be knocking at
the door all the way and particulars on
the end they pay off IN. These horses
would appear to be the pick of the
outfit.
IT is hard to figure where they have
much, II anything. on the local entry.
Some have a greater fight Of speed,
but are handicapped with a BUT.
Esther B. Is today absolutely sound,
and IL she was not a 2:20 trotter lat
fall there wasn't one in this country.
The roam stallion. Mcneil, owned and
entered In the 2:1s pace by James
Burns. needs no introduction.
He showed all of us last fall, and
what he can show over the ploughed
field al Weequahic Park right today
would surprise some of the talent Il
they knew.
Up against the record horses entered
In this event he looks particularly
good; there are. however. several green
PAGERS entered tina may be able to pilot
the way, and they have doubtless
shown something or they would not be
entered, but more than one of these

OF the record horses with which we are
familiar the roam gelding Ulrich is a
tough nut to crack early In the season
but a mile right at his record should
hold him If he is in good shape, unless
he has improved wonderfully. The bay
mare. Marion d. 2:19h. is a good game
mare, but I hardly look for her to race
better than her record, or as fast, On
July 4.
Harry Murray, of Goshen, has EN-
tered Maxfield Patchen, but l don't
believe any local horseman would give
a shoestring for his chance in this
event. Horse racing. however, is a
peculiar game and sixty days from
tomorrow we will know the whole
story. The following is a complete list
of the entries, and 1t might be entirely
in order to add that the Evening STAR
