make further sacrifices OF his valuable
| time.
The owners of three-year-olds in either
| class may now consult either Mr.. Nc
Carthy or Mr. Corbin, who will each re-
ceipt for money paid in, and turn the
same over TO the person the owners Of
candidates may select when the stakes
finally close. This will be at midnight,
Saturday, February l. Only a few days
remain to owners Of candidates to make
good. Surely, the owners of three-year-
olds are not going TO permit themselves
to be outdone by the owners of the two
year-old babies. Those colt owners who
may look indifferently on the scheme.
or who lack the pride and courage to
try out what they own in public, may
rest assured that the scheme is not GO
ing to fail on their account. Every fu-
turity will be pulled of, If only three
colts start in each stake. The shame of
such a thing will be on the delinquent
colt owners, not on those who start in
the events. The 1914 stakes for trotting
foaIs close April /. and T. W. Dun
worth, 10O2 Pennsylvania Avenue, has
the matter in charge.
We understand that the Board of Di-
rectors of the Montgomery County Fair
Association are inclined to think favor
ably of the proposition recently present
ed by The Herald that they make
special effort this year to attract trainers
to the Rockville track. A number of
horses at the track will enliven the mar
ket for hay and grain and will bring
money to the town in other ways. But
no trainer can be induced to camp at
the track, unless some assurance is given
him that the course will be made mt and
kept fit for valuable horses to work
over Rockville has so many points
in its favor as a training center that
it surprises one TO know that the track
managers have been so Indifferent to
their opportunities for so long period.
II is pretty certain that AlonZo Corbin
will remove his large string Of horses to
Rockville, II he can have assurances
that he can be properly cared for. Many
of the owners of futurity candidates
would also take their youngsters there
to be trained, If the track is made safe
for them TO work over.
Trainer William Andrews. superin-
tendent Of the Forestville track. promises
to have during the season Of 1918 quite
a large number of horses in training. and
especially a crack lot of youngsters. Mr..
Andrews is steadily gaining the confi-
denCe and respect of horse owners, and
the present year promises to be a boom
year for his line of business. Mr.. An
drews is one Of those fortunate persons
who can delvelop speed in young horses
without taking too much out of them.
What he did with Hal Hardin in the few
weeks he had him in his possession last
season is a strong recommendation OF
his skill as a colt developer.
II has recently been rumOred that Mr..
Andrews will be intrusted with some of
Javins brothers youngsters, and that
p. F. Tippetts will place some promis-
ing young things in his hands as soon
as the training season begins. Hal Har-
din, the Dan Patch colt, and Montana
Guard, 2:2Ol-4, will all be in the hands
of Mr. Andrews, and will make a short
season before being put in training. DR..
Sansburg expects to make OF his track
at Forestville a live wire during the rae
ing season of 1913. The doctor is still
working for a trolley line direct TO his
track and every lover of the light har-
ness horse hopes he will succeed in get
ting it soon. Quick and easy transit
to Forestville will make the Sansbury
track valuable asset to its owner. and
he will deserve all the good that may
come with it. The track will be formally
opened, as usual. on Decoration Day.
DR. Sansbury intends 10 enter Harvest
Hall in the three-year-old futurity, and
John Bunny in the 1914 futurity for two
year-olds. Harvest Hall is being logged
daily by Mr.. Andrews, and he report.
that he is himself again, after his strenu-
Gus season of 1912.
Nothing has very recently been heard
from ]. c. Mott, OF La Plata, who is ex-
pected to be much in evidence during the
racing season of 1918. He always pops
up Unexpectedly with something he dis
covers in the tall weeds of Charles or
St Mary Counties, and it is fair to pre-
sumo he will spring a few surprises
again the present year, as he did two
seasons ago, when he brought out the
two rural phenoms, Russell Cozine and
Palm Cozine. and made the horsemen
of the effete East sit up and take notice.
Mott, If he tried hard, could get speed
out of a lobster. Anyway, he never took
horse that did not show speed and
