Tompkins Next Good One.

Daniel d. Tompkins was the next
good %trotter by Winthrop Messenger.
He was foaled at Pennington in 1880
In 1898 he defeated Rather over the
Centerville course at three miles In
1853, while he also won from Locomo-
tive n Fire King at two miles in
5:11R. His greatest race was trotted
to saddle at Philadelphia in 1899. when
he defeated the champion Edwin For
rest in a $4,000 match at three miles
in SOY, At that time the horse was
owned by William Fetterell, OF Phila-
delphia, where he afterward appeared
in several team races, his mate being
Blanc Negro. a grandson of Winthrop
Messenger, that was owned by c.. p.
Relf, who afterward owned and raced
another grandson Of Winthrop Messen-
ger called Zachary Taylor, who defeat
ed Tacony, Lady Suffolk and Goliah, a
half-brother to Mambrino Chief, and
made a record Of 2:S1 to harness and
2:2a to saddle.
Winthrop Morrill, and General Knox
proved successful sires in Maine. Hon
est Harry was the fastest representa-
tive of the former, while General Knox
got the 2:20 trotters, Camors and Lady
Maud, before Henry N. Smith pur.
chased him for the Fashion stud farm
at Trenton, N. j.. His sale in 1872, as
well as the sales of Young Rolfe in
1884 and Bingen in 1895, were the three
most serious blows that the t~rotting
industry received in Maine. While 9TH
ers took their places, none of their
successors possessed the speed-getting
qualities which subsequent events
showed each of these horses possessed.

IT was started with an inheritance back
or 1t In 1922 at Norridgewock, where
Lion was foaled. He was~ bred by tho
Rev; Samuel B. Witherell, who also
bred Witherell, the sire OF Belle OF
Portland, that trotted In 1925 in 1861,
while Belle Strickland, 2:26, was also
inbred to him. In 1929 Benjamin Hodge,
or Hallowell, purchased Lion and took
MN to Boston, where he sold him for
$500, a tremendous price for a road
hors5 az that period. There were no
trotting tracks in Boston in those days,
but Lion was raced on the o and
defeated everything he met.
Fanny Pullen, the next fast trotter
BY Winthrop Messenger, was foaled In
1925 at Arson. She reached the New
York tracks in 1895, when she won two
races to saddle over the short track
at Harlem in 1885. The following year
she finished second to Dutchman in a
race at two miles in 5:173. after which
she was bred to imported Trustee. Her
foal was also called Trustee and was
the first horse to trot 20 miles within
an hour, His time was $685.. while
he also won at four miles in HOG.

Cradle of the TrOtter
BY w. X. oocHER.

Maine was the first state in which
a successful effort was made to breed
me trotter. In other sections where
they appeared they were considered ac-
cidents or what botanists term sports"
and those who wanted them were
forced to pick them out" instead Of
selecting them on account of their
breeding. In Maine, however, this was
so well known that in 1853 Sanford
toward, of Boston, said that MAINE
has until within a few years furnished
nearly all of the trotting stock of any
note in the country" This was brought
about by AlonZo Hayward going in 1916
TO Oneida county, New York, where he
purchased a son of imported Messen-
ger and brought him to Winthrop. This
horse was named Winthrop Messenger.
He arrived four years before Maine
was set off from Massachusetts, as a
separate state and two years before
Boston Blue, a Maine bred horse, trot-
ted the first recorded mile in three min
utes.
Winthrop Messenger died in 1884, be-
fore the fastest Of his get appeared
his sons were, however, benefited by
their performances, while the Maine
breeders, who were looking for speed,
selected descendants of the "old white
horse" to mate with the Drew, Eaton,
Rising Sun, B~randywine, Morrill,, Hamp-
ton, Knox and Gideon stations that
were scattered all over the state and
by so doing laid the foundation which
made the state famous throughout the
land for the speed and stoutness Of
its trotting horses.
The t~rotting horse industry in Maine
was started by Winthrop Messenger
and improved by the two Morgan
horses, Gen. Knox and Winthrop Nor
rill, both of which were foaled in Yer
mont in 1Sbh. while the climax was
reached by Young Rolfe when he got
the champion stallion Nelson. In the
interval representatives of Maine fami-
lies were scattered all over the coun-
try, a few Of the Drews being taken
to California, Nabocklish, the fastest
representative of the Rising Sun fam
lily, to Illinois, while Shepherd +.
Knapp, by the Eaton horse, was taken
to Europe. He won a race at Paris

BOY SCOUTS ON BIG
GOODYEAR HIKE
Eighteen Day Trip in Big Mo-
tor Trucks Proves q
Thriller.

Travelling by day and camping by
night, like the pioneers who crossed the
western plains with their prairie
sohooners," fifty boy scouts left Akron,
Ohio, Tuesday, June "a. on q motor hike
through New York and the New England
States, in a feet OF motor trucks de-
fleoted for that purpose from the Akron
Boston express line Of the Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company.
The nifty lucky scouts were selected
from the 1000 scouts Of the city for
their general proficiency In scoutcraft.
Each IL an honor soout---the representa-
tive OF his particular troop.
The tour will take about eighteen days
and will carry the boys through many Of
the interesting historical sections OF the
east The first stop on the hike" is
Niagara Falls. From this point the
route runs through Syracuse and Utica
TO Albany. where It bears north, passing
Lake George and Lake Champlain to
| Plattsburg, then through northern Ver-
mont. the White Mountains OF New
| Hampshire and the pine forests Of
Maine to Portland. The return leads
through Boston. Providence, New Haven,
West Point. BinBhamton, Elmira, Ithaca
and Youngstown.
Opportunities for practical demonstra-
lions Of scoutcraft knowledge are offered
in the pitching OF camp each evening. A
scenario has been written outlining the
Outstanding features OF the Americaniza-
ton OF our youth. Comprehensive NOV
| ing pictures OF the. expedition will be
available after It's completion for dis

CONSTRUCTION Is now under way at the

The fact that this addition was made

ket is q striking Indication Of the wide
spread popularity OF this type of tire.
A considerable portion OF the credit
for the popularity Of the Mohawk Cord
is probably due to the extra thickpess
Of the tire. 1t has always been the
problem OF tire makers TO make a tire

so thick as to reduce its pliability.
