lTottlnE Sport> IS IN tne niuulc VI tHc
two weeks' meeting which has as
sembled all Of the Grand Circuiteers
and the pick of the halfmile track
horses Lexington is the class of all
racing, but they have merry time at
the Buckeye capital when the weather
is OF the right sort
On Wednesday the racing of the
two feature events of the first half
took place and each of them resulted in
more or less of surprise The three
year-old division OF the Horse Review
Futurity, worth Sc 600, went to the New
York colt David Guy after one of the
hardest fights ever seen on the big
oval Up to Syracuse week David Guy
had the distinction of being the one
unbeaten colt, but at that track Holly
rood Bob took his measure During
the same meeting Nella Dillon beat a
field of 2:07 trotters handjly. so that
she looked to be best among the clever
baby trotters-
Nella Dillon won the first heat at
Columbus without much opposition, as
David Guy made q mistake She led in
the next one and looked to have It safe,
but Murphy broug David Guy through
the stretch at such speed THAI he just
landed in 2:05a4 The pair had it out
next time. trotting to the half n l:02.
AT no time was there length between
and David Guy poRed his nose ahead at
the finish This race established the
gameness of the son OF Guy AXworthy
and should make him favorite in the
Kentucky next week
Prince Loree's Win
Prince Loree marched of with the
$4,000 stake just as he did at SYRIA
cuSe-hard driven at the end OF every
heat and stalling OF Murphy with Ante
Guy in the first and second and Lotto
Watts in the taird, his best mile 2:06A
The recent career Of Prince Loree is
very interesting. After winning on the
half-mile track at ColrF bus ne was
dlstanced at Akron; tlfA he went to
Syracuse and showed up the high class
trotters
Anent the loss Of form on the part
of Prince Loree at Akron, the particu-
lar race was Won by Char.ey Rex, a
bay gelding by Recreation and one OF
the fastest trotters in training. Char
ley Rex has been performing on the
Western track for some years and fre-
Quently had been mentioned as a lumi-
nary for the stakes. However, his
owner likes the twice-arounds and so
does Charley, for he can stand 'em on
Their heads He went in 2:1Ols in this
winning race. but it is Gained that
on the Cranwood. track in August he
worked q mile inside of zoo Maybe
they VIII get him hung up just right
some of these days and turn him looose
on the big ovals. Then few Of the
real trotters viii have to get busy.
The track was SO heavy on the first
day of the Columbus meeting that time
dropped off materially. Princess Eta
wah put one over on the bunch when
she won the Junior division of the Re
view Futurity, beating Norman Dillon,
while Periscope was fourth in the sum-
NAV
There was another upset on this
same day. Drectum j., that had been
such a consistent winner did not take
to the going. but after Hal Boy won
heat he grabbed the second one. Then
long came Adioo Guy and scampered
off with the big share of the SO 900
stake. Adioo GUY had been spending
most of his time beating the best of
the half milers.
Jack X Comes Back
Harry Gray scored another win at
ter Jack h. that also has been starring
on the ha-f-mile tracks. Jack K won
lot of goO races, then went wrong
and took vacation last year. That
lay-of improved his legs. but not his
gat. for he certainly does a lot of
things not according to the trotting
Hoyle, but ne is tough proposition
to beat in race. There were fifteen
horses in the event. and some of them
pretty timber propositions. but the
rugged chestnut took care of them,
knocking his record down to 2:09A in
the final heat
Jack X. is by Silver Finch. and an
other Of the same tribe. Tommy Finch,
is garnering first moneys on half-mile
tracks in the West
John McQuaig, who comes up from
oklahoma every year, has everybody
talking who was at the Minnesota State
Fair, where he put brackets around the
names OF couple of ten-vear- old
steeds. On the first day he won two
heats with Alice Arion, and then lost
the race to Sis Bing, but later in the
week he came back with her and won
the Minneapolis Stake, which is pre-
mier among classics of the Northwest.
Ip this race he beat Tommy Finch Eva
Bingen and others. The feature of it
was the return of Alice Arion to the
winners list after she had been passed
up Oy lhe majority. / ms Is her NTH
campaign.
The other winner Of the McOuqig
stable is the PAGER Waite McC!uckv,
that required only three heats in a
field of fourteen. Waite McCluckv
also has been at the game long time
and races best in bare feet. which
makes him somewhat Of curiosity
among PAGERS.
Big Field in Transatlantic
Among the stakes that have been in
the ,lmelight long while is the Tran
sylvanla. which has topnotch position
among the all-aged events at Lex ng-
ton where they trot next week. Also
