Prince Lorec, winner OF the Transyl-
yania In 293l4 when performing on 4
trot last year. ig an educated race horse
In every sense OF tho term, while Will

that he Is just about as fast and as for
midable rs McDevltts converted trotter.
At Goshen he beat Margaret Axworthy
a heat In 2:o4h over n half mile track,
but without winning tho race, which

/ O'Connor mare that forced Northern

| September; Banner NJ, also second in
2031i at the Ohio capital in a heat
won by Ora Direct; Peter Kennedy,

OF the trotters eligible TO the 10

u Colorado and Grcyworthy in the
$4,000 races next year unless she goes
wrong or develops some fault not now
apparent. But Murphy Will have an
other fast trotter for the 2 IL class IN
w. II. Canes $4,000 four-year-old
