How Old Is Budd Doble?
Horsemen Differ on Age

Now York, Oct 14.-Budd DobIe's
age is still mooted question among
horsemen. W. H. Gocher. secretary
of the National Trotting Association,
boldly asserts that the trainer of
Dexter, ATTN; Goldsmith Maid,
2.14, and Nancy Hanks, 2.04, was
born on October 10, 1S41. but on
what authority he does not state.
George E. Perrin, of Sheepshead
Bay, is equally positive that L C.
Underhill made q mistake thirty
three years ago when he said in his
sketch of the great reinsman in
knights of the Sulky'' that Doble
was born in 1912. In a letter to
the Herald Mr.. Perrin says:
"Budd Doble was born in 1S41, il
he knew his own age. My brother
Ed and Doble were lifelong friends
and when they compared ages they
were only month apart. They first
met in a race on the Fashion Ir,ck
in the spring of 1867. Budd rode
the black gelding Rapid and, by the
way, he rode with his pants tucked
in his boots and in his short sleeves.
Ed rode Bill Whelan, a horse own
ed by the old and good trainer of
that name who then kept a road
house opposite Sim Hoagland's, in
East New York. If remember
right, Hiram Howe rode Washing
ton Irving"
