stakes are we'll under way, two
things remain to be done-prompt
payment of fees and the selection
of a stakeholder.
= = <
T. w Dunworth holds the stakes for
the. two-year-old .trotting class, and We
respectfully suggest to nominators in the
three-year-old class that he be asked
to assume the same duties for them
We have not consulted Mr.. Dunworth
ON the subject, but we take it for grant
ed that he is too loyal to the breeding
interests of this bafiiwick to refuse the
duties and responsibilities attached to the
Office Every one who knows Mr.. Dun
worth knows that he can be trusted. that
he is disinterested and that he is finan-
cialIy responsible Mr.. Dunworth sails
for ireland soon, but not before the
three-year- pacing stake closes. This
stake is now open, and. closes March l.
The same men who have engineered the
two and three-year-old stakes will re-
ceive entries for the pacing stakes and
owners of candidates should not hang
back to the last minute. 1t is important
when an entry is made the name of
the candidate and its color and breeding
should be given.
The following comprises the list of en-
tries in the three-year-old trotting stake:
F. A Hall names Kalo. by Nelos; f. II.
Robinson names Hal Hardin, by Moko;
DR.. ]. A. Sansbury names Harvest Hall,
by Walnut Hall: Norman Corbin names
Main Gallant by Mainstreet; NJ. L.
Joyce names The Profile, by The Peer;
F. c. Combs enters an unnamed colt by
Lord Bingen: J. c. Mott enters an un-
named colt by Lord Bingen: William
Andrews enters an unnamed colt by MO-
quette, and Peter LOTUS, IT is believed
names Patricia Dewey by Alto Dewey
The number then is nine. These really
should have been twelve entries in this
valuable stake.
1t is a fact worth knowing that every
entry colt is bred in the richest purple
to use a turf expression. Every entry.
from now on, bears an increased value TO
his present owner, and to new owner,
If he changes hands. Each colt Is en-
gagged in valuable stakes; he promises
to bring back something for his keep
and training. If he changes owners and
wins the stake. he will pay for himself
and leave a good margin of profit be-
sides.
We, for one. have no patience with men
afflicted with cold feet in matters of this
kind; there are men who always stand |
ready to throw cold water on a new en- |
terprise-men who always stand ready to |
hand out the ravens crook; men who !
lack the courage of their convictions |
or do not dare to take a chance and |
who want to be doubly assured they will |
win before they enter into any enterprise. |
There are men who claim to be horse
men who are rank counterfeits. and I'M
worthy of the name. Every man in
horse race must take a chance.
T. w Dunworth, long prominent in /
speedway and in other local light har-
ness affairs, as We have heretofore stat
ed, sails soon fer Ireland. the land of
his birth. Maurice (. Joyce, also a
prominent local light harness horseman.
and renowned as the poet-laureate of the
District known as ''Swampoodle," has
thought it the proper thing to give Mr..
Dunworth a fitting send-of by rendering
the following lines:
When Jimmie steps upon the ship that |
turns its prov toward Cork, and wanes
farewell to all his friends in little old
New York; We'll sure be there to pipe
him off, through tears our eyes may dim,
and pray godspeed the noble bark and
wish good luck to Tim. The dear auId
sod will greener look than in his boyhood
days, the birds will sweeter music make
