Orange County's Oldest
Horseman Dies at "a
Guy Miller Rode Races Before
Ed Ceers Was Born.

Guy Miller. for sixty years one of the
best known horsemen of Orange county.
died on Tuesday at the home in Chester
where he had lived since 1865. He
was "a years old and was riding races
up in Chemung county before the vet
eran reinsman Ed Geers, now in his
ler's father. Abraham Miller, owned and
raced running horses, and Guy as a
boy of 12 rode Old Squaw in a number
of match races in which she was never
beaten. He went to Chester a few
years later and worked there for Will
lam NJ Rysdyk. owner of Hambletonian.
tho great progenitor of trottcrs. Young
Miller had charge of the horse and
gave him all his exercise. mostly under
saddle.
AS young man he because a breeder
and trainer of trotting horses and con-
tinued active almost TO the day of his
death. having broken a colt only last
season for his long time friend. w. f.
Redmond. of Madison. N. ]. Mr.. Red
mond, who was treasurer of the Ma
tional Association of Trotting Horse
Breeders in the old days. said yesterday
that Mr.. Miller was probably the best
informed man In the country on all
matters pertaining to early Orange
county horses and horsemen. His close
acquaintance with them and his relia-
bility led to his being chosen a member
Of the board of censors OF the N. A. t.
Fl. B. His son. Roy Miller, is a trainer
at Lexington, KY. and was prominent
as driver twenty-five years ago.

Buyers of Work Horses
Getting Big Bargains

Wayne Dinsmore, secretary OF the
Horse Association of America, tells
elsewhere on this page why the West
ern farmers are flooding the markets
this season with work horses they will
sorely need themselves next spring. His
analysis of the situation was called
forth by an article in THE HERALD
fortnight ago saying buyers in New
York We're just now getting the best
values they have obtained in a genera
tion and predicting a tremendous rise
In prices as soon as the slowly inn
proving business of the country begins
to make a normal demand for workers,
human and equine. Mr.. Dinsmore con-
firms this view and intimates that the
farmers themselves will be In the mar
ket for thousands of fresh horses before
many months have passed. Those who
fail to take advantage Of existing con-
ditions in the local market will have
nobody to blame II they find. that prices
have jumped so per cent. or even more
when they get ready to buy.
Thirty-eight polo ponies have been
sold under the hammer for $1,000 or
more at Tattersalps auction mart In Lon
don this year. The highest price re-
allied was $4,100 for Beatrice, one Of
the ponies ridden in the International
games.
Prices for draft horses are evidently
falling in Britain. At the recent dis
persal Of w. T. M. Dunmore's Clydes-
dale stud, the stallion, Prince Optimus,
by Dunure Footprint, went for $2,500,
and the average for eighteen head was
$3.50.

or three-quarter bred runners which the

Harry McNair of Chicago and J. Garner
West of Haverstraw. N. Y, are to be the
