That there will be a renewal Of colt
stakes, which will include youngsters
oafned in the District Of Columbia, Mary
land and Virginia in 1875, Is already a
foregone conclusion.
The fascinating game Of racing colts
has taken strong hold upon light har-
ness horsemen in the localities named.
The proposition recently advanced in
The Washington Sunday Herald that a
four-year-old trotting stake be included
in the card Of 1915. has met with a hearty
approval among owners OF colts OF that
age. The conditions tfnder which the
three stakeS shall be raced is matter
Tor future consideration
The immediate subject OF consideration
is the selection Of the candidates for the
several events. The stakes viii not
open before January l. and il Is not
probable that they VIZ finally close
earlier than March !. Those persons
who do not now own eiigibles will have
upward OF five months TO select eandi-
dates Opportunities viii be presented
to persons who do not now own eandi-
dates to get them in the Old Glory sale
to be held In New York m November.
and in the spring sale which win be
held in February.
Objections may be made by some per-
sons interested. to admitting to the
stakes colts not bred in the localities
from which the candidates VIII be drawn,
for the reason that colts sold in Madison
Square Garden are liable to be better
bred Coming as they mostly do from
the great breeding plants of the West
and East. than are our home products.
But if an embargo Is to be placed on
men who do not breed or own entries we
shall not get very far. nor will the
stakes in each event be large enough
to pay the training bills OF those men

BAY PACING MARE Is
NOTED FOR HER SPEED

The bay pacing, mare. Florence wilkes.
ia somewhat noted producer Of local
speed. has become OF late a subject OF
considerable Inquiry from persons own
ing her foais. The records concerning
this mare are exceedingly meager.
1 Although the pages Of the year book
and the Trottlng Register have recentIy
lbeen searched by the writer. nothing
could be found that gave a clue to her
dam OF to the name Of her breeder. But
I the little that was discovered would lndi-
cate that she was foaIsd in Michigan. as
her sire Is Girardin, a son OF Pilot Me-
dium. sire OF Peter the Great zs07 Ia
I Girardin's dam was by the great MichI-
gan brood mare sire. Magma Charter.
sire OF Jack. 2;121-2. winner OF the H. &
NJ some hfteen years ago or more.
According 10 the year book, Florence
Wilkes got her record Of 2:2o II at salem.
( N J.. August s. 1907. In the same year,
or about that period. she passed 10 J. NJ
Morrison. Of this city. and later to Nor
man corbin. OF Washington While in
Aorrison's hands she was bred to Kushan
and the produce was Florence Kushah. a
mare OF considerable speed at the trot
and pace. and which Is now owned by
August Morgan. Of Georgetown. D. 4.
Bred to Dr. Bell. 2:17 IA. she produced
DR.. Bell IT., quite a fast PAGER. and later
on bred 10 Bale Axworthy, she produced
a yearIing filly that shows fast as a
field trotter. Her latest foal, by John
Popham. Is by many persons considered
one OF her best. II not her best. This
fIlly. now a weanling, ls the property OF
A W. Philips. OF Waterford. LoudOun
County. Va. The fly Is a rich bay in

celebrated brood mare. Adele Tyler.
dam Of nine. by Chester. and whose sec
ond dam was BY Henry Clay VIII, found
sr OF the Clay family. Henry Clay was By
Andrew jackson End his dam Is untraced.
It is claimed. however, that she was a
mare Of Messenger blood. Girardin was a
gray horse. Ike his sire. Pilot Medium.
and was bred by Abram L Smith. Of Gi-
rard. Mich
The horse subsequently, passed to wal
ter Clark. Of Battle Greek. Mich. owner
OF Pilot Medium. In view Of the fact
that Florence wilkes has produced speed
to four different sires and may. eventual
ly, take place in turf history as
great brood mare. those interested In her
blood should make determined effort
to learn something more about her blood
lines on the maternal side OF her pedi-
gree. As Mr.. Philips Is not In the rae
ing business. some one who Is should
get his filly and develop II as he wishes
10 part with her. L. d. SALE.

Hannah, N. D.. Nov. 11.-Robert
Ferguson. aged 20. accused Of the
murder Of William Lachner, aged Is.
at Scott, Sask.. formerly Of Wales; N.
D.. was acquitted of the killing.
Back of the killing lies story of
domestic difficulties that had their in
ception when Ferguson was employed
by Joe Lachner, the father Of WILL
lam Lachner, on his farm. Mrs. Fer
guson. it appears from the evidence
introduced In the trial, became in
fatuated with young Ferguson, and
trouble ensued, Ferguson being order
ed from the place.
Ferguson, it appears. returned dur
ing the absence of the elder Lech-
ner, and 1t was then that the boy was
shot and killed. Ferguson claimed
the affair was accidental-and escaped
penalty on that plea.
The Lachner family was we'll known
in this vicinity, having made their
home here for many years, departing
for Canada only two or three years
