was IN Baltimore during the week.
The latter part OF this week Alonzo
Corbin will ship his stable Of trotters and
PAGERS to Wilmington, Del. Alycene will
start in one OF the pacing events.
w E. Miller's next start will be at
Tazeley Va, and his stable, now the
largest and best all-around stable owned
in Washington, will go down the line TO
Rockville, and then swing Southward.
Now that it is believed by Mr.. Miller
that Axis, 2:2sl-4. has permanently
rounded too, he is inclined to think that
with these good PAGERS and high-class
trotter, the greater share of the big
purses ought to fall his way.
Alice NJ. certainly looks as good and
acts as good as she did in 1911. 1t is
conceded that her record of 2:l71- Is
not the full limit of her speed by some
hve or six seconds.
Won March seems to be burning up
with speed at the pace. and IL he goes
sound, Mr. Miller will have powerful
hand to draw from in the pacing divf-
sion.

before the campaign closes estimates of
comparative greatness may be revised.
Each colt is a four-year-old.
Koroni was bred by William Russell
Allen, of Allen Farm, Pittsfield, Mass,
and was foaled his property. Boski was
bred by Mr.. Allen and foaled the proper
b ty of Mr.. Miller.
Koroni's sire, Kavalli, 2:o7 "a, was also
bred at Allen Farm, and his dam, Rus
sina, and granddam. RussaIka. are owned
at Allen Farm. Rusalka is a full sister

Boski, was bred at Allen Farm. the prop
erty Of Mr.. Allen.
Boski. was bred at Allen Farm, and foal-
ed the propedty OF Mr.. William Russell
Allen. These two colts are the acme of
modern breeding.
Their ultimate production cost Mr.. Al
len much profound thought and many
thousands of dollars. Should they be-
come famous on the turf, doubtless Mr..
Allen Will feel amply compensated, and
will not begrudge their respective own
ers the money and glory they may
achieve. 1
The owner Of each colt is the architect
OF his own fortune. Twenty or more
years ago Michael Morris, owner of
Koroni, landed at New York from Ire
land. with no capital, except cool and
sagacious brain, a plenty of industry
and courage, the best of health, and, an
Irish heart-capital enough. God knows,
IN such land of opportunity as is ours.
He is not as rich as Rockefeller, nor
Morgan. nor Ryan, nor Belmont. but
the proverbial wolf Will never be found
bowling at his door.
As late as 1898, W. F. Miller, a native
Of westmoreland County, Va. was en-
gagged in hauling passengers from Falls
Church to Camp Alger and return, for
SO much per month. He was, at the
time, a slender STRIPPING, of medium
height and is still of slender and youth
tul appearance. When Camp Alger was
broken Miller learned how to buy and
sell furniture with a man doing business
on Seventh Street Southwest.
Soon after this event the furniture man
retired from business. and Miller seized
the helm, and prospered. When he felt
his finances could stand the strain, he
began to invest in fast horsefesh. Mr.
Miller, in his horse and racing invest
ments. and in the personal training Of
his own horses. has been the most sue
cessful man who has ever undertaken
so large a contract in the District OF
Columbia. No trainer can give a man
le double cross when he trains and
3rfves his own horses.
Mr.. Miller has done what no other
horse owner in the District has been
sble to do-make money in racing horses
He has done what few other horsemen
In Washington have been able to do
make money in buying race horses

Miller took that crippled trotter, patched
him up, won races with him, and drove
him faster than any human being had

"Slick Ed" thought he saw a chance

him to a crisp.
