GRAND CIRCUIT HAS BIG YEAR
Harness Horses End Thirteen Weeks
of Successful Racin1-Sport Was
Clean and High Class.

The grand circuit, with its thirteen
consecutive weeks of mile track rae
ing and which for forty-three years
has been the life of the trotting in
dustry, failed to produce the many ex-
peeted new champions this year, but
for general speed the season just end
ed was whirlwind, and from the
viewpoint of high-class racing and
clean racing it was the best in the
grand circuits long history
At the beginning the most momen-
tous year of all was anticipated on the
form of several horses, but a terrific
match race early in the year took the
edge off two of the greatest trotters
that ever looked through a Bride
Lee Axworthy and Peter Volo-and
while the last named four-year-old did
recover to win in the fastest two heats
ever trotted by stallion 2:02$4, his
form was not full, and now that he has
been permanently retired the world
will never know the capacity of this
marvellous trotter.
Then the promise of some rare pac-
ing was spoiled when C. X. G. Billings
bought William and retired him from
the racing turf Margaret Druien found
nothing that could extend her during
the time she was at her best, and
Etawah never reached the form ex-
pected from him. although the great
flashes of speed he displayed indicated
champion performance
William added his name to the list
of horses that have beaten two min
utes and Directum | took a long slice
out of the record for pacing in the
open when he won in 1861. Add
to these performances the 2:05h of
the three-year-old Mary Putney and
the 2:07A of Volga at two years and
the story of important record breaking
in the grand circuit is told
