Trotting Gossip
BY w. III. GOCETER.

During the Grand circuit meeting
at Philadelphia the PAGER Butt Hale.
2;02 la, attracted more attention
than any horse at Belmont park. He
Is a Pennsylvania product and was
at one time rated az a counterfeit.
The manner in which he disposed of
his fields at Columbus and Cleveland
as well as at Philadelphia, however.
proved that in proper form he was
not only a high class PAGER but a very
fast one. One morning while Butt
Hale was at Belmont park q stranger
stopped In front of his stall and after
looking at him for several minutes,
turned away with the remark: II
