WITH TROTTER
AND PAGER


]. w. Gyles, who for years has
dealt in fast horses in Paterson, mas
moved his headquarters to New
Haven, Conn. This is somewhat OF
loss to the Silk City. as Gyles was
one of the real live ones who Kept
the ball rolling twelve months every
wear His horses were never laid up
during the winter months, and he
was ready for a horse race any hour
of the day or night and ready 10
back his opinion to the extent OF ms
bank account. He also did mucn 70
promote the light harness horse sport,
and two years ago conducted tnree-
day session over the Ryle. Park track
single-handed Many of the horses
that have performed over the local
tracks in the matinee events were
brought here by MIR. Gyles and local
horsemen generally will wish him
well in his new field of endeaVor. lie
was everybody's friend and one of
the kind of fellows that are missed.
The bay pacing gelding Ben Dat,
2:14A, owned by William Whatton, is
wintering nicely and should be
great horse another season. Those
who saw him in his race at Mt. Holly
predict that he will pace in 2:lO next
season, and so good a judge of speed
as Dusty Rhodes says that If he is
not a 2:10 trotter over a twice-around
there are none in this country.
1t is, indeed, doubtful whether
there is at this time a finer looking
2-year-old trotter in this country
than the brown colt Nathan AK
worthy. Since he was shipped home
from the Readville meeting he has
grown and filled out remarkably. and
today he looks like a we'll developed
4-year-old, rather than a baby who
had not yet reached his third birth
day If nothing happens this fellow
he should be the real crack of the
3-year-old division next year, and
the one important fact is that he is
positively sound and clean.
Dolph Sehluer, the Montelair en-
thusiast, has taken the bay gelding,
Bobby Moreland, out of training for
the time being and he was taken to
the stable of his owner Tuesday
morning. Bobby Moreland has been
in the combination of Pat O'Connen
at Clifton and will doubtless go back
to the Paterson trainer as soon as
the weather is fit to drill horse.
O'Connell will move his outfit to the
Hohokus track about the middle of
March, where he will prepare for the
races.
The roam pacing stallion Mcneil,
owned by James Burns, is still rum
ming out at the farm of Nose Hand at
Lyons Farms. The roam horse is big
and strong and never in his life did
he look quite as well as one finds him
at this time. He has not worn a
harness in nine weeks, but as soon
as the weather gets too severe for
him to run to pasture he will be sent
TO the stable of Dusty Rhodes at
Gutenberg, who will jog him the
balance of the winter and ship him
to the mile track at Poughkeepsie
early in March.
The pay trottlng Hlly BONA, own
sister to the fast brown gelding Bis
tan, 2:14A, has been placed in the
stable of Pete Goode. who will race
her as a 3-year-old during the COM
ing season. Pete had this FLY last
year up to the time that she was
shipped to the races, after which she
was turned out. She is very fast
young mare, and at the same age she
has more brush than her brother lad.
Bona is owned by the New York dry
goods king, William Crawford.
The gray pacing gelding Pete, in
the stable of Florey Davis, will not,
as has been reported, race over the
mile tracks next season. Fred Cas-
terlin, his owner. is a half-mile track
man, with absolutely no inclination
to race on the big line. Pete looks
good and feels good, and while he
does not weigh much more than the
day he took his record at Lexington,
he is as hard as nails right now and
ready.
