Early in the week many Washington
horsemen had the pleasure Of meeting
Mr.. W. B. Morrow, the genial and eincl-
ent manager Of the Eastern department
of the Horse Review. published In Chi
cago, Ill Mr. Morrow Is now making a
tour of the Atlantic Seaboard States in
behalf of his paper, which Is devoted to
the interests OF the light-harness horse.
The Review, although Western publ
cation, has long enjoyed a large circula-
ton in the East and South by reason OF
its able fearless. and candid treatment
of turf topics. II may truly be said of
the Review that II has never bent the
Fragrant hinges Of the knee" in its edi-
torfal policy, that thrift might follow
| fawning."
Mr.. Heryey, the Reviews managing
editor and chief editorial writer. is re-
| fined and cultured gentleman. who has
| devoted the best part of his life and his
| conspicuous ability, to the uplift OF the
| light-harness breed. With the single eN-
| ception of the late John Wallace no man
/ has done more. II as much, for the breed.
and for the morals of the trotting turf. as
/ Mr.. Hervey Wallace's pen was big
| stick in the hands Of a man who neither
/ asked for nor gave quarter. Mr. Heryey's
| pen is a Toledo blade that unerringly
/ cleaves from ceput to chine. with a single
I stroke, error. hypocrisy, untruth, per-
! sonal dishonesty. and sham. As assistants
| in the field. Mr.. Hervey has two Of the
best descriptive writers Of races in the
West in Joseph Markey and Walter
| Moore The formers views on horses
shoeing. and balancing. are very nearly
! classics, and are everywhere read and
! appreciated: while Mr.. Moores contri-
buttons about men and horses are eagerly
looked for weekly by readers of the Re
view. No turf paper has better or
I more comprehensive news service than
the Review. and no person interested in
| the American trotter can afford to be
| without IL.
While en- route to Washington Mr.. Nor

ware and inspected the horses he eX-

| Mr.. Morrow says, never looked as well
! as he now does. He carries more flesh
than he did in 1913 and IL is fairly hard
flesh. Tyson thinks well Of the sorrel
gelding. It is no secret here that ko-
roni was a els trotter on half mile
| track last season. II is also known
here and elsewhere. that at no time dur
ing his campaign Of 1913 was he fully

mentioned at this time. When Koroni

late in the fall of 1919, he was growing
stale, as might have been expected.
AIonzo Corbin has changed his mind
about locating at Prospect Park. and
will endeavor to fit his horses at the
Gentlemen's Driving Park. Pen Mar
Belle. 2:24 IA. may be shipped to him this
week. She is in the hest Of condition,
and every one who knows her game
owner. Norman Corbir. wishes him the
best of luck with her this year. Deed
Tinker. 2:1S Ia. owned by Mr.. Clarkson,
Of HaSerstown. promises to be 2:lS or
better trotter before the season closes.
Corbin takes back nothing he has said
complimentary OF DIR. Sansbury's Harvest
Hail. and Norman Corbn's Main Gallant
as trotting prospects of high class. The
report from Baltimore also is that the
horses of w. f. Millar. and the Wiessner
horses in the hands of J. NJ. Crawford,
are all doing as well as can be expected,
considering the cold and wet weather of
the pending month. II. S. CrOy. of Bright
view Farm. Colesville, is hard at work
on Javins Brothers horses. although the
farm track is still too soft for speed max
ing.
