WATERBURY MAN
 HAS COMING TRoTTER Baron A. to Be Heard from on the
 Grand Circuit.

The phenomenal success on the Grand Circuit of King Couchman, the fast brown gelding. which was owned by Daniel T. Hart of Waterbury until last week. and which added the Chamber of Commerce stake at De- troit and the Comstock stake at Grand Rapids to it's list of wins, has turned attention again to Baron A., another one of Mir. Hart's successful horses on the track
 This is Baron As third year on the circuit, and he is at present with the rest of them at Kalamazoo after looking on at Grand Rapids during the past week. During his time of three years with the best of them, Baron has not yet come in behind the money, and last year he was talk ing everything in sight until Ft. Erie was reached. There he was put in a stall in which horse with distemper had previously lived and Baron A be- came i'll, and soon he had a case of what is commonly called typhoid dis temper, which put him out of the running for the rest of the year.
 When the season opened this year, however, Baron A. was in good condi- tion, and Walter Cox. his driver. is taking him along and holding him for something good when the time comes. Baron A. recently did four and a quarter on a Cleveland track ana norSemen, who spend their time and money listing the racers, say this time under the circumstances was as good as 2.03 for the mile, and if any, thing, a little better. Baron A., who is by Baron Medium. by Dan Wilkes, is a three-legged, pacer, and he never uses the straps. which is a rare habit in his class. No matter where he is in the running behind. in the middle, or ahead, he never says quit and 1t is on account of this that he has had a slice of the purse in every race he has been in.
