fered a s2,500 purse and while Miss Bertha Dillon declined the battle. Cox came forward with second Richmond in Lu Princeton, the stout battler that won in 2:02H and 2:0SA at North Randall. These three great trotters present a peculiar study for those who are interested in the whims of stars from prima donnas to game chickens. St. Frisco is a plain everyday body in the horse world. His bump of curios- ity is well developed but as soon as he familiarizes himself with his sur roundings he never shows a disposi- tion to make a rough house so long as he gets what is coming to him in the way of hay and oats and a few carrots. Lu Princeton is so lazy that he will not move out of his tracks un- less ordered and sometimes persuaded to do so with an application of the whip. He trots all of his races under protest and never breaks away flying until he is satisfied that everyone is ready for business. In the stable his only worry is 8, constant fear that the man with the feed box will fail to come early and often. If he was not owned by rich man, he would eat him out of house and home. On the
 other hand Mabel Trask is as demure and polite as the horse kind can be
 and while as wilful as a spoiled child,
 those in control of her make it a point
 to see that she is not crossed in any
 thing so long as it does not interfere with her racing. When being logged if she stops to look around a minute or two, no one disturbs her until she is ready to move on. Also when being trained or raced she is treated differ ently from other horses. Instead of being tied both ways or walked she is turned loose in the box stall as soon
 as she comes in from the track and
 allowed to eat all the hay she wants
 or to take a drink if she feels so dis posed. Her groom also manages to ! take care of her physical wants as she moves about in the stall and when ! the race or work is over instead of having an empty stomach, she is ready
 to have a snooze as soon as she has | cooled out
