MACY STRING
At FAIR GROUNDS
Two 'cEm-and- Emmers'' in the Bunch
as Well as Old Country Jay,
15-Year-0ld Wonder.

The string of trotters and PAGERS
owned by George H. Estabrook, OF
Denver. and trained by Gus Macy, OF
Lexington. arrived AT the Fair Grounds
Tuesday noon In two large palace
horse cars. The string had come d.
rect from Denver and Macy report
ed his charges In excellent condition
after the long trip.
In the bunch are several trotters en-
tered in the early closing events OF
the Blue Ribbon meeting. Two of
them are observation-disclosures
and Fannie Lawson. The fact men,
toned was supposed to have trained

She was formerly known under the
hoppled PAGER name Of Lilly W., but
has been renamed as have been q
number OF the Estabrook horses.
The most notable member OF the
string is undoubtedly the fifteen-year-
old trotter Country Jay that has been
improving annually since his rejuven-
alton by Macy and last year carried
mark which makes II necessary for
him to be campaigned only In free-for-
alls or classes faster than 2:07. The
old-timer stood the ship well and
should be turning off some fast quar-
tiers on the Fair Grounds track very
shortly.
Spanish Queen, winner of an M. &
M. and a right good race mare. Is
also in the string. Macy will get a
number of his horses ready for the

have been miles around 2:15 at Den
