At the close of the Grand Circuit
season at Lexington there were 62 addi-
tions TO tho list OF 9l0 trotters forlOlS,
four more than we're registered in 1912.
Racing over mile tracks still continues,
30 that il is likely there will be several
more 2lO trottcrs recorded before the
close of the year. A number OF the
leading strings are racing in Texas and
Others will proceed further West, and
as several trotters have taken their last
fast records at those meetings, formerly
more can be expected.
This record list of fast performances
Is headed by Lord Dewey, which low
cred his race record 10 2.O3 3-4s IN a
start against time at Lexington, while
Peter Volo, the sensational 2-year-old,
is next with his race record Of 2O4 Ia.
OF the sixty-two new fast performers,
we have so far lost only two, namely,
the 3-year-old Don Chenault, 2.OJ I'D,
and Marigoid, 2.O7 IA, which have been
already sold for export. Others may
follow before the close OF the year.
Following the report that agents OF
the Russian government arc negotiating
for the purchase of Peter Nolo, comes
another report that DR.. }. G. Mccoy, OF
Kirkwood, has refused an offer Of $780,
900 for Lord Dewey. If the deals 80

the supply of new fast stations will be
diminished, especially il the oft rumored
sale of Anvil to foreigners becomes

Aside from the comparatively small
number of stations the new fast list
leaves a large number Of trotters as
racing material fol- next season.
Few of the new performers are IN
such a condition at the end of the rae
ing season as to be declared out OF
the sport in the future, while the
number OF trotters with new records
close to the 21O mark is large enough
to promise another big list for 1914

While the new 2.1O list is the iarg-
est on record. yet the general average
is not as fast as might be expected
consequently a great majority OF them
will still be eligible to the 2.OS, zOs
and 2.IO classes of next year, viii

reduced list of 1914.
one OF the most pleasing Feat
ures or the new 2.1o list is the small
number of trotters that have takeI
their records through the un-cul
route. compared with those OF th'
past three years.
