That the four-year-old stallion Fan.

in the outfit of Herman Tyson, is a gen.
uine 2:10 PAGER before the close of
the present season is the opinion Of
all who are at all familiar with the
colt.
His race at Tasley would in every
| way indicate that he was a race-horse
and a slayer. While it was not neces-
sary to beat 2:13A to win I'VE a field
Of twelve horses. I am told that he
| surely could have made much better
than 2:15 on that day, for he possessed
| the ability to brush away from his
field, no matter how fast the pace was,
and he could brush a quarter in thirty
one seconds with consummate ease
whenever it is necessary for him to do
SO.
Other PAGERS there are with perhaps
as great a flight of speed, yet l am
inclined to believe that this agent is
of the classiest green things that
has yet appeared over the two-lap
courses this season. and foots up more
like a stake horse than n of the lat
eral gated horses that have up to
this time beer seen in action here
abouts.
He wears the hopples, and this, of
course, to many is a serious objection,
yet If he goes fast enough and races
first, last and all the time, and is a
thoroughly game horse. W. Will all
learn to like him and be anxious to
shake his owners hand and consrat-
ulate- him.
Before he was started in an actual
contest he worked a mile over the

over the poor half-mile plant at New
ark, Del, he paced in 2:14A. which
would indicate that he would before the
close of the season pace right at 2.1o
over a twice-around course. He is
eligible to about $1,000 worth of stakes,
and, barring misfortune, should get his
share of the money and a part of the

moke City, Md. Tuesday, and will
doubtless win. His owner. H. Stacy,
Smith, deserves to own an absolutely
first-class horse, for his connection
with light harness racing Is SO thor
oughly unselflsh that every man with
a drop of sporting blood in his system
must wish him well, and 1t is about
time that he gained possession of a
genuine crack.
The result of the seasons first futur-
ityNat Detroit Tuesday. In which Miss
Stokes and Justice Brooke ea5h took
records of 2:0s and a fraction would in
deed, indicate that the most ~extraordi-
nary collection of 3-year-old t~rotters
ever known would meet before the close
of the present season. Unfortunately
for racing, present conditions are such
that comparatively few of the best
youngsters can stand the gruelling
campaign and the severe preparation
that is a part of their tasks, and as a
consequence o n but the soundest
have more than an wen break in the
battle for supremacy. =
This seasons 3-year-olds are doubtless
the best lot taken collectively thai ever
saw the light Of day. and while there
may not be one capable of lowering the
record mad by Colorado E. last year,
there are at least two that, judged by
their last seasons form. are fully his
equal
In addition to the so-called cracks of
the s-year-old division there are many
that promise great things, and. unless
overcome by the hardships of their
preparation a greater number of
3-year-olds should beat 2:10 his year
than eve before.
