II they want speed. E. F. Hall, who has
justly earned the title of speed mer-
chant has in hand as fine a lot Of we'll
bred trotters and PAGERS as can be found
anywhere. and az cost far less than one
can get one Of the same sort at the gar

She trialed In 1910 over a rough half mile
track in 2:36, right of the road after
being driven to a doctors buggy. and. II
she had gone into the hands Of good
trainer early in the season. might now
have a mark far below the twenties.
Several persons are looking the young
Axworthy mare over with the hope OF
buying her. She is by the sire OF Ham,
burg Belle and General Watts, worlds
champions, and who can say where Hazel
Belle will stop IL conditioned properly for
great things.

of the best gated trotters in the Dis

Mr. Hall, in a recent conversation. said
that all of Alto Dewey's foals are show
ing up in fine style. and that the greater
share of them were trotters. Very few
of Admiral Dewey's get are PAGERS and
the same may be said Of the get OF Bin

last named is now the sire Of eleven
trotters and three PAGERS. 1t is Mr.. Hall
intention to get Alto Dewey to the races
the present year. and If he is given
season at all in the stud it will be
very brief one. There is strong call
this year for kushan's services. and it
is not at all probable that he will see
race track. Two Of his three year olds
will be entered in the proposed stake
race and each one is out Of a mare of
high breeding. Two will also be entered
by Don Cozine and two by Bale AK

Our old friend DR.. Sansbury. owner of
the Forestville track, hopes to have the
stake events pulled off over his track.
He is making a strong bid for them. and
has a three-year-old PAGER which he

pulled OF July 4, and the doctor may
expect to see his grounds at Forestville
crowded to their limit. 1t is more than
