READY At NORTH RANDALL


y,-,h Randall. Ohio, suburb OF Cleve-
lard. The ftst race will mark the be-
-,r-.rr ~ tho forty-frst Grand Circuit
~ famous chain ~ mile track associa-
tons tina, VAS established in 1873 to bring
,-aer on. ~ chao, on me trotting turf.
There have been many suspicious be-
rl1rings ~ the Grand Circuit during the
as, twenty years. but the cards were
never In such fine order az this year. The
t-airsrs have been favored with an I'M
usually long and hot training season. and
there Is 'Vi,e as much speed on tap as
In any other year Evidence OF this has
he,n apparent at North Randall during
me last fortnight. when on work days
- many as thirty heats below 2:l0 were
common. and In tho nnal trials that took
place last Friday 70 many horses worked
rhanorne- ally FAST that the PAGER that
cannot do better than . 0s and the trot-
..r that cannot step faster than 2 10
will be ordinary Four-yesr-o,d trotters
are showing miles In > :o7 and PAGERS are
heating 05. and there are more than
Afy tro,.ers that can show winning heats
veil under 2 10. The Grand Circuit from
me beginning, therefore, should be char
,c'erized hv the most remarkable time
known In the history OF light harness rae
ing
N SPITE NJ the fact that the .esinning
. the Grand Circuit Is two weeks later
than one year ago entries To the purse
events at North Randall are light Quality
sticks out prominently in every race, how
ever, and Is the stakes for the meeting
have a big list ot eliglbles the meeting
as 4 whole should be fairly represent
tive OF All the mile track campaigners
Of the year.
From historical point OF view the
event Of the week will be ths effort Of
-taHah against time on Tuesday. As was
stated tn this column weeks ago Ed Geers
has beca preparing this colt, that last year
vas the greatest OF three year oldS, for a
fast mile al North Randall, lest some
thing might happen later IN tho season
20 proven, the son OF Al Stanley from
aa-nns a record commensurate with his
extreme s'ght 81 speed. Etawah has beer
prepared a. only such a master reinsmar
as tas silent Man can NJ one to do
certain thing on a certain day. and with
cool DAY and track Etswah should
make a new record for four-year-old trot-
ling colts. The mark that he will shoot
a. is 2.o5l., made in 1898 by the mar
yellous race horse Directum. son OF the
stout Director and the thoroughbred mare
stemvinder. Possibly there have been
tour-year-ods in the last decade that
could have displaced pirectum. but the
fact remains THAI none iid. and even Mr..
Geers did not make the attempt when he
lad 50 good a colt az the future stallion
champion The Harvester. Last week
E;aVah In his final trial showed a mile in
g.Qi and finished the last half in :0l.
lie IS strong and lusty, IS in good flesh for
aim, and more than all else is sound.
