In this article we can only give an idea
of what they have done. Docaro was
raced two seasons, and proved one of the
best PAGERS in Maine, obtaining mark
of q 16 IA. Then came the fast PAGERS,
Wilson, Blanche B., and Belle Perrin,
which were raced more or less. The
trotter Elmont showed fairly well, and
the very fast pacing colt, Charles M.
Vantrump. purchased as yearllng, won
nearly every colt race given in Maine
during 1907 and 1908.
But the noblest of Mr. Beams horses
during the last decade was the brown
gelding kassali 220 IA, by Kremlin.
Dear old, unpretentious, mild eyed kas-
sail! This horse was purchased by Mr..
Bean some seven years ago, and ever
since has enjoyed the reputation of being
the best trotter in Knox County. He
has started in many races, and never
failed to be a factor A rather plain
horse of modest demeanor, we have
often noticed him as he came out for
race, ,apparently unconscious of his sur
roundings. 1t was not until the word
was given that the son of the mighty
Kremlin showed to advantage; then he
would bend all his powers to outdo his
rivals, and it was good one indeed that
stood him off at the wire. Split heats
were his speciality, and at this part of
the game he was seldom beaten.
R. L. Bean, who has driven these
horses and others has proven himself
capable man in the sulky. During the
past ten years he has been frequently
pitted against the foremost of Names
professional reinsmen, and we never
knew of their having anything on the
Camden cashier. The remarkable races
which he drove Tony D. are fresh to the
minds of ALL
In conclusion we wish to say that H.
M. Bean turf history shows him to be
naturally adapted horseman. The fact
Of his developing McLane and Romulus
into two of the most successful trotters
of the day, and this without any previous
experience or knowledge of the business
is a greater tribute to his ability as
trainer than any words which might be
spoken. But more than this, Mr.. Bean
has shown himself clean turfman, and
when he finally quits the arena he will
leave an unblemished memory behind.
Manly and honorable methods have char
acteriZed his indulgence in the sport. His
drivers have always been instructed to
drive fairly; and jobs and pool-boX work
have been strangers in his career. The
advancement and future welfare of the
trotting turf rests upon the support OF
such as our Camden man, rather than
upon the gamblers and tricksters of the
game. May H. NJ. Bean long live to en-
JOY the fruits of his labors, and in his
turf ventures of the future may the God
dess of Fortune smile upon him as she
has in the past. H. L. TURNER.
