For Many Years Detroit,
With ID. J. Campau at
Helm, Was the Arbiter
Bv Frank S. Cooke

v,r many wears Detroit was the arbi-
81, NJ STYLES in the Grand Circuit, par
.;e.srly in the days when u. j. Campau
'~ss at the helm but of late the honor
us been appropriated by Cleveland,
s,bose track at North Randall is over
sbsdowed by none. This makes the an
ssnnncenent of early closing events, in
.orrectly called stakes by many, of i'm
,ortsnce. as il indicates which way the
wind is blowing:
prentier Of the events for all ages
a. North Randall is the Ohio, and this
.ro;n is 10 be for 2:OS trotters, which
ssss was made popular by the famous
VI. stake, discontinued because the
nnwers that were and still are do not
Relieve in racetrack betting.
Not only Will the Ohio attract all of
NE prominent trotters that have stepped
into the 2:10 list and are not penalized
faster than 2:074, but in the field will
bs many with slower records that have
shown class 1t will be the first clash
NJ the elect, and as such it is among
the most interesting races of the sea-
Eon.
The Tavern, originally for amateur
drivers and last year for 2:1s trotters,
il for the 2:14 class this season, which
will make an appeal 10 a lot of half
mile track graduates who escaped with
2:l3A or slower marks, and others that
srs eligible by grace of time allowance.
sThe Edwards Moved Down
The Edwards has been for 2:10 PAGERS
since 1910. but this barred so many of
the nags that had won on small tracks
that the management has moved it
down to the 2:0S class, which will fit a
greater number These events are worth
$4,000 apiece.
The sweepstakes for two and three
year-old trotters carrying $500 added
money are free-for-all affairs this year.
This will allow of all the star colt trot-
ters in the three-year- race and
sheuld make it bigger acair.
There was a report to the effect that
v. B. Dickerman was going TO retire
from active participation in the sport,
but this is denied through the announce
ment OF the list of horses which Harry
Fleming is training for the establish
ment at Mamaroneck, n. Y. The stable
is one Of the most select in the country.
There are nine members, and some of
them probably will be in the limelight.

year-olds. all with records or trials con-
sideraby inside of 2:1O. Selka, by Peter
the Great-Eva Belini, was timed sep
arately in 2:054 in the heat which
