ALL PULLING TOGETHER

in This Vicinity.
Vale. 1914. for local trotters and PAGERS.
Now let all pull together for a still
more brilliant season OF sport in 1915
Taking into consideration all of the
other attractions, Dr.. John f. sansbury
has reason to be proud Of the way the
public rallied around his standard on
Thursday last. When it comes to a show
down. Washington horsemen. and. lovers
Of the trotter and PAGER generally in the
District OF Columbia. can be relied upon
to do their whole duty
With only one organ In the entire city
CThe Washington Herald to voice their
wants and aspirations, and. to give them
any recognition whatever, they calamity
continue TO uphold trotting sport and to
hope for still better d7vs BY the aid Of
God, The Washington n "rald and indi-
vidual effort those days viii surely come.
And, speaking for the publishers OF The
Herald. We can say that they are CRATE
ful for the support accorded Il among
lovers Of the light harness horse In the
District, Maryland and Virginia. Much
more, however, can be done II every local
horseman will constitute himself q COM
mittee or one to extend the circulation
the interests OF the Americai trotter and
PAGER throughout the wide region In
which the paper circulates.
The Herald has now entered into a
vigorous campaign for a permanent
speedway east OF Long Bridge, and. with
the help OF the horsemen OF the District.
II expects TO win this fight It took hold
OF the project for the establishment OF
colt stake racing in this section when
pesstmists were thicker than fIeas on a
NANCY dog, and won singly and alone
the battle. The stakes have now become
a permanent institution. From time to
time it will feature other projects for
the benefit of horse lovers, and az they
viii prove to be sane projects they, too,
will win.
On January l three colt stakes will be
opened. one more than was the case in
previous years. Interest in them is al
ready being manifested. and IL the
interest continues to grow there should
be double the entries in 1915 as compared
with 1914 new candidate for the two

recent sale in Madison Square Garden by
N. J. Ward and Z. F. Hall. and was
shipped here on Wednesday. It is by San
Francisco, and Is a fine specimen OF the
American trOtter. Although only eighteen
months old II is as large as most colts
foaled in this section are at three years
Of age.
Ward and Hall expect to have an entry
for each OF the three stakes. D. ]. Nc |
Carthy will have an entry for the three !
year-old and four-year-oId stakes Dr. !
Sansbury will have one for the three |
year-old stake. and. possibly, one for the !
two-year-old stake. Weissner Brothers, |
OF Baltimore, will have entries for each |
stake Javins Brothers will furnish two !
entries and T. +. Tippetts expects to be I
represented in at least one Of the stakes. /
NJ. COrbin. OF Hamilton. Va. will also |
enter something, as will also J. C. For

Waters, Frank Combs. Robert Brown, T |
w. Dunworth, and many others whose
names we cannot now recall. The stakes
will close on March /, which will give
every colt owner time TO get in line.
The recent sale held in New York City
was something OF n disappointment to
consignors. About 600 horses were listed
In the sale. Taken as n whole they were
an inferior lot, as compared with con-
signments Of previous years. Among
those which sold far below their in
Lrinsic value were Pen Mar Belle and
Peter Ford. owned by Norman Corbin,
Of this city, and Solograph, owned by J,
u. Corbin, Of Hamilton, Va. The Belle
brought $50. Peter Ford S145 and Solo
graph sold for Sl5. The tightness OF the
money market Is held to be the rea son
Tor the low prices received. The San
trancisco's were practically new TO the
public market, and yet sold at top notch
prices. San Francisco was very nearly
| two-minute trotter. and Walnut Hail
Farm is rich in brood mares. This part
