Danish Belle Will Meet 0rman=
hall Unless She Goes in
l:O7 Class.
BY WALTER E. ERLER.

This weeks session over the Speed
way will conclude the regular autumn
season on the s~traightaway, and 1t
should, indeed, produce the most eX-
citing as well as the most interesting
of the entire season.
The various performers are at this
time classed about where they 4 go,
and should have the sidewalk brigade
on tiptoe from start to finish.
Each week something new has devel-
oped. Horses have been graduated from
one class to another until the various
events no longer look like easy picking
for any particular horse. DANISH Belle;
who started to beat ITO last Week, VIII
this week meet Ormonhall. winner of the
Ills pace at last weeks session, uHleSs
her owner puts her in the 1907 class along
with Queen Gentry and Ell. b., a pro
ceeding which perhaps assures more OF a
contest. There are those who believe that
Queen Gentry can beat Danish Belle, yet
II the latter is in shape on race day II
The fact that Ben Bow has graduated
TO the free-for-all pace gives this event
an added interest, and It is posslpie tlal
Ben Bow will do something that the ma
jority are not expecting.
Many would enjoy seeing. the brown
mare Kirtley Electric perform IN me
free-for-all trot. and it is probable tnal
she will be seen in action in that class.
She should hold her own with any tfot-
ter In the association over the speedway
or over a track. During the past season
| this mare was staked at the syracuse
grand circuit meeting, and that Is the
"Indian sign" Peter Herman, her owner,
is one of the shrewdest horsenlen that
ever owned or campaigned a trotter, ana
he doesn't stake lemons. She has been
a mile in 2:l0, and those who know her
best tell me that will never stop her.
Another horse that has over the speeu-
way done right well is the brown trottlns
gelding Allerson, owned by William klank.
Last week he marched in FROM IN lne
t.15 trot. and as he is a good-headed norse
and is making speed all the time, there
are reasons to believe that he Will again
win this week. The S-year-old stallion
Jersey Todd is also making speed rapidly
and may make Allerson step some faster
to hand him a defeat this week.
Not the least attractive feature of sat
urday's program will be the appeapannSGe
of the 2-year-old Todd's McGregor. 2:2s94,
owned by Jacob Goldstein, of KearnE.
This remarkable y~oungster has peen II
the training stable of Tommy. Murphy
since early spring, and at Detroit @orheo
n mile in 2:23M. last quarter IN ~ sec
onds. He was given his record agalnsl
the watch at the recent P~oughkeepsle
meeting just TO put him In the list ana
TO benefit his DAM. His owner VIII nave
| him on dress parade Saturday, and locai
horsemen may look over what was be
lieved to be one Of the highest class :
year-olds i'm training this season.
While 1t was indeed unfortnnate ina
the brown pacing mare Ardelle should
have broken her leg Sunday warming UP
for the special race with Quida, she per e
Ouida was right on edge and could nave
paced two halves right at l:02, as the
speedway was lightning tast and tne
weather could not have been improves
upon for Il supreme EFFORT.
on the other hand, Ardelle. before mis-,
fortune overlook her, was rank and WIN
the hest OF which she was capable. How
the race would have resulted is. of course
hard to say, yet Ouida's chances lookeo
rosy 10 those who were not biased IL
favor of the New York horse.
Lawrence to Join Local Organization
II is reported that johnny Lawrence
the Hoboken horsemau, will join the loca
organization and next season matinee,
some OF his horses at. Weequahic Parf
track. Mr.. Lawrence Is one of the mos
accomplished amateur reinsmen In the
metropolitan district. and as a rule Keep
from two to five horses. During the las
season he raced the chestnut pacing geld
ing Danwood, 2:1114, in the OUTFIT o.
black PAGER June Bug at Jersey Cll.
and Parkway. He has been an enthusias
for years, and he and Tommy, Henry, o
Weehawken. have owned jointly many o
: the hest horses that have been raced y.
Dusty Rhodes in recent years. Mr.
!, Lawrence viii lie a valuable man to n
local club. and it Is to be hoped that noth
; ing interferes with his present plans.
Mary Frear Capable OF speed,
George Stengel recently sold to Geore
: r. James the chestnut trotting mare Mar
: Frear. one of the handsomest things eve
Z bred at FlkWood Park farm. This mar
is a daughter of Axum, out Of Mary >
by Baldour, making her a half-sister I
, both Nathan Hale aud Retriever. Sh
Q is, however. a much handsomer horse ina

! OF fact. she is handsome enough to wi
l in the show ring.
She has never been trained a day in he
life. yet as a 3-year-old | saw her sho'
better than a 2:30 gait over the farm tract
0 and a better-gaited %trotter would be mar
q TO find. Her action forward to some migh
appear excessive. but she is one of thos
bold going things. and the excess actio
e is very preferable In such a slaShine

horse 1t would indeed be a handicap ]
