TRAINER TELLS
Of WORK HERE.
MANY GOOD ANIMALS ARE
BEING PUT IN CONDITION
FOR FAIRS

Ile last issue or The western
llorseman. enc of the leading horse
II en- papers OF the United States pub
ll2hsd at ndianapoli Indiana and
h, ling large circulation in every
state In the Union contained the fol-
loving article on Guthrie written by
j. .. Baleour n prominent horseman
wao is making his headquarters in
GutArle this summer and traiaing
horses on the track at the cimarron
Valley Fair Grounds;
since tAe last letter from Guthrie,
wherein i, was mentioned that there
were eighteen trotters and PAGERS
working at the track. there have been
eight fresh arrivals, The stable of
r. +. Bu,Eman, Coyle. Okla, is now
here. including the bay mare, Annie
Perkins, s:9Oh, by Eeatrificauon.
She is rapidly rounding into form,
and it is confidently believed that
she win materially reduce her record
when the opportunity presents. An
other OF tie stable is Chimes b., d
bay gelding By Electric Chimes, dam
BY Oak Grove, 2:l0. This fellow was
worked at the trot last year, but as
Mr., Ruckman is getting along in
years. snrle u, he decided it would
be wise to convert the gelding at
once. The result is that he is wen
pleased with his work. His third
horse is the bay gelding, Forty Six.
2:29, with which he has had much
fun for, several years, and it would
not be surprising if he should go out
into the f'bushes" again with him
soon.
Mr.. Bates (whCse given name has
escaped us), from Perry, Okla, IS
here with three PAGERS. all of which
seem to have a lot of speed. One is
nice chestnut mare owned by Mr..
Cooper of cancer cure fame. She is
a daughter of Thorndorf, speed sir
ing son of Silyerthorne, and she can
hit a marvellous clip. Mr. Cooper al
so owns another of the trio in a bay
stallion by Symboleer, 2:Q91a, dam by
Prince Boy, a speed producing son Of
Roy Wilkes, 2061a. This fellow looks
like a good prospect, and it is said,
has plenty of speed. The third one
is a bay geldiA. (which think is
named Frank Bridges, although not
sure), and he is an own brother OF
the Symboleer horse referred to. He
looks promising, also.
Another addition to the training
colony is ]. w. Clark. of Perry, Okla.
He has the brown gelding. Thornless,
227 by Thorndorf. Thornless is a
fast, steady gelding, with the best OF
manners. and | am told has already
been mile in 2:1S. Mr.. Clark has
a good-gaited three-year-old by a son
of Allerton, 2:O9A, that he regards
as a real prospect.
"The attention of horsemen is call
ed to the fact that our track is GER
tainly as good, if not little better
than any other track in the whole
country, and l am positive that it
can be got into condition for fast
work more quickly than any other
track have ever seen. 1t may rain
during the night, but if 1t clears up
and the sun shines in the forenoon
it can be got into fine condition for
a workout by 1890 or O'Clock. There
are twenty,eight now being trained
here, but room for more.
THE water is splendid, as Mineral |
Wells Park adjoins the fair grounds |
md has water of splendid medicinall
and is regarded as all
positive cure for many ailments OF
mankind. The salt water from one
1f the wells is being used by some II
