Nor did W. E MiIler's three-year-
colt, Boski, 2:29h do so very bad in
1911. He is by Bertini, 2:22A out OF Ku-
mara, by Kushan. 2:1S1k. He is a good
sized chestnut sorreI colt with a fine
turn of speed and has worked miles in
2:22h. His campaign was also education
al in 1911. His first start was at Laurel
July l, in a purse of $3.50, in which he got
/ fourth money. August ! he started at
| Tasley, Va, for a purse of $500, which
he won in straight heats and got a
record of 2:2g1a. In fact, each heat was
| in that notch, and he could have gone
each heat upward of five seconds faster
| if necessary. August 13 he started at
Winchester for a 800 purse and was sec
ond three times and got second money.
At Winchester he trotted against aged
horses. His winnings at the Virginia
town were 500. October Is he started at
Richmond for a purse OF $500 and drove
keenewOrthy out in 2:22A and won sec
ond money, $50. October Il he started at
Frederick for a S4O0 purse and got third
money, $50 This ended his campaign
for the season. Boski will probably be
heavily staked in 1912. He is the MAX
ing of great race horse If he stays
sound. BoSki's net earnings for the sea-
son of 1911 were s4S5.
Mr.. William Russell Allen. the emf
nent breeder of high-class light harness
horses, at Allen Farm, Pittsfield, Mass,
has just sent out his annual price list,
something eagerly looked for by light
harness horsemen on both continents.
The blOodlnes in use at Allen Farm are
those that have been tested on the race
tracks of this country ever since the
American trOtter began to be a distinct
breed. Much of the foupdational blood
at the farm traces to the old four-milers
whom our fathers knew and admired.
Probably more of the plastic blood of
Boston, through the celebrated Miss Rus
sell, his granddaughter, can be found at
Allen Farm than at any other breeding
farm in the world The same may be
said of the blood of Old Clara, that i'm
rortal daughter of American Star "A.
and mother of Dexter, 2:1714, and Of Die
tator No other matrons OF trotters are
breeding on like Miss Russell and Clara,
ard, as a rule, their descendants are race
horses Of tn" highest class. Other tried
strains are also in use at Allen Farm; in
fact, Mr.. Allen is wise enough to have
none other.
The stations in use at Allen Farm have
IA worldwide reputation. They are

Farm. BoslU was bred there, but foal-

Miller.
We notice one error in the Allen Farm
price list that should he corrected be
fore the matter goes further. Mr.. Allen
credits kushan with being the sire of
two in the 80 list. The error arises in
nocently enough on the part of Mr..
Allen. The mare known in trotting an
nails as Miss kUShan, 2:161Z. is identical

has evidently heen started somewhere
under double names: just how many
times we do not know. The rule is that
when a horse s once started in a race

the registration department and a fee of
$50 deposited with the American Trot-
ting Register Association,
Whether the present owner of Miss
Kushan, 2:1619, has complied with that
rule, we do not know. but if he has not
he will he compelled to do so by the
proper authorities as soon as the matter
is brought 10 their attention, and Miss
Kushan. 2:16Ia, cannot again start until
the matter is settled. Again. there are
two Miss Kushans owned in the District
of Columbia Only one is registered, and
one only is entitled to registration under
the rules; that one is the Miss Kushan
owned by J. r. Jones Miss Kushan. 2:161h
even were she now TO become entitled
to registration. would. were she to be
registered at all, have to be registered
under some other name, because the rule
is that two horses of the same name
cannot be registered. To what extent the
above facts will affect the money won

Miss kuShdn can enter the list any time
she is prepared for the task An effort
will be made to mark her the coming rae
ing season, and when that event takes
place, we shall hear things.
The race of sires for 1910 makes prof
