lance on Tuesday one Of his sons, the
three-year-old Hal Hardin. He was
a promising colt in 1912; not particu-
larry attractive. however. as an indi-
vidual, nor in the matter Of gait. In
his three-year -old form he has not

In gait he is a greatly improved colt,

his attTactiveress at speed. and he APP

cut him loose for furlong on Tuesday,
and he seemed to set the dirt on Are.
He is a resolute going, colt, and. al
though he Is too growthy to measure
up to most mems ideals, there are no
tokens In his past career that he is not
able to carry his speed the distance.
Although Hardin will doubtless have
opponents worthy % his speed and
gameness in the three-year-old trot-
ting stake, he can be trusted to not
disgrace his owner, trainer. admirers.

Trotting Stake of 1914. 1t was an en-
thusiastic and harmonious meeting,
and a number of nominations for the
stake were rendered. Four stakes are

1911, called The Washington Herald
