that when he went down In defeat
wednesday last his trainers and driver
leaned against the fence and shed bitter
tears. No wonder also tnat his fond
owner. Mr. Frank d. Young. OF Wash
ington. Is a bitterly disappointed man.
He had the extremist confidence In his
colt. and believed him TO be unconquer-

have followed light-harness events for up
ward Of a half century IN all parts Of
this broad Union. and who have seen
numerous good things'' go wrong. was

his quarters are held together by a mid
die piece that denotes strength. and plenty
Of heart and lung development. He Is

his front action. however. Is recessive and
he tires easily. When he tires he PAGES
to relieve himself. When he gets more
strength. which win come with age. and.
when the weight he Is now compelled to
carry can be safely reduced. he will be
able to carry his speed better and fur

Kathleen Dewey is a low-going mare
In front and rear. has no waste action, |
but Possesses tremendous driving power |
behind. She is poor scorer. at present, !
but when she hits her stride, she goes |
on the trot and trots on her courage. |
Gould her driver. on Wednesday, have |
gotten her within striking distance of |
her two competitors. she quite liktly |
would have won at least one heat and |
have created more trouble than she did. |
Her injured shoulder prevented the hIly
