WITH TROTTER
AND PAGER

Very few horses came to Newark as
the result of the mid-winter sale held
at the garden this week, and all the
conversation about the fast bay
PAGER Sir r., 2:031a, coming to this
city that has appeared in q local
paper is, as was generally supposed
an error.

bought two more highly bred colts,
and it would appear that the south
Orange horseman was the only live
one left in the sport hereabouts.
1t was reported in the garden We'd
nesday morning that the chestnut
gelding, DR.. Bill had been resold to
| an East Orange man, and if this Is
a fact he may possibly appear at the
local matinees during the coming sea-
son. 1t had been hoped that a few
good horses would come this way, as
they are needed badly, yet it is not
impossible that some may yet reach
here via the private sale route.
Much of the best matinee material
offered went to Pittsburgh, and the
members of the Parkway Driving
Club, at Brooklyn, were also liberal
buyers. There are at this time few
good horses in this city, and it is hard
to take an optimistic view of the
matinee situation.
Mr.. Stengel will probably start the
PAGER Future Todd in some of the
matinee events. Yet this horse out
classes absolutely any other horse
owned in the organization, and the
best that his owner can hope for is
the track record pacing, and what
the son of Todd will do to that can
easily be imagined. At the Garden
| the writer had long talk with KNAPP
Mccarthy, in whose stable the horse
| has been since last autumn, and in
the opinion Of the veteran Future
Todd is one of the fastest PAGERS in
| this country and horse that will
pace half-mile track in 2:0S this
| season.
At $S25 the black trotting mare AL
freda Todd, 2:16A. looked like one
of the bargains of the sale, and she
will be used in the matinee events
at Pittsburgh. In the papers the
namc of Tommy Murphy appeared
as her purchaser, but the Poughkeep-
sic trainer was acting for ]. d. Call
lery, of the Smoky City, who has an
idea that he can win the gold inter-
city cup with the daughter of Todd
next autumn. This mare should trot
mile track in 2:0S or better, and if
she does she will come very close to
landing the coveted trophy.
During the sale arrangements were
made with half a dozen trainers to do
their drilling over the empire tracks
this spring. Among the number were
Bob Proctor, Earl Pitman, Peter
| Goode, Billy Rhodes and Jimmy Kee-
| gan. 1t is believed that by April l.,
at which time the new half-mile
track will be ready for USE one hun
bred and fifty horses will be located
at the plant.
The Putnam County Agricultural
Association, who conduct fair and
race meeting at Carmel, N. Y, were
admitted to the Metropolitan circuit
at a meeting of that organization
| Tuesday. This track completes a
chain of meetings that should be Sec
ond to none in this country, and the
circuit will do the sport more good
| close to Broadway than anything
| ever before did. The new organiza-
ton has filed papers of incorporation
and will be capitalized at $4,000, 20
per cent. of which will be paid In,
and in consideration of the amount
paid in, each will retain a franchise.
There will doubtless be two anna
teur events on the Parkway program.
each with a value OF $1,000. and in ad-
dition silver trophy, valued at 500,
will be awarded the winner of each
event. one of these classes will be
for s;so trotters and the other for
2:e5 PAGERS, a race in which hopples
/ will be barred.
