Famous Trotting Tracks
of Days Long Gone By

one OF the few mile tracks that an
swered the roll call in 1874 and that
are still in operation. 1t was opened
In 1874. Morgan G. Bulkeley, one of
It's early officials. Is still to be seen
at the annual Grand Circuit meetings
which always begin on Labor Day.
This beautiful old New England track
boasts the oldest fixed event for aged
trotters in the country. It's $4,000 Char
ter Oak Purse will be forty years old
next season.
Passengers on the Boston and Maine
Railroad between Springfield and Holy
oke can still see a remnant of Hamp-
den Park, on the bank Of the Con-
necticut River. 1t is said that it was
opened in 1857 with an Grafton by
Henry Ward Beecher, and that the
black stallion, General Knox, 2:31A.
won race there in 1864. In the
seventies. eighties and early nineties it
was one OF the leading tracks of the
Grand Circuit. but harness racing at
Hampden Park ceased moro than
twenty-five years ago.
Hudson River Driving Park, at
Poughkeepsie. where the Grand Cir
cult campaigners will race next week,
was opened in 1874. Morgan L. Mott
was its first president. 1t has been
announced that the track would be
closed and cut up into building lots
after this year, but such reports do
not always come true. Mystic Park
and Beacon Park In Boston were among
the mile tracks whose officers answered
the QUESTIONABLE OF the N. r. A. Tho
one who answered for, Beacon did not
know when IL was built. Mystic was
opened In 1865. Both have long since
made way for the growth of the city, and
Readville Trotting Park Is now the
only mile track In tho vicinity OF Bos-
ton.
Utica had mile track in 1872. and
was one OF the original members Of
the Quadrilateral Trotting Combination
which later became the Grand Cir
cult. The other members were C1eve-
land. Buffalo and Springfield. Tho
Edwin Forrest job gave harness rae
ing n black eye in Utica I'm 1873. and
the Grand Circuit horses stopped there
no more after 1889. The grounds be-
came the site OF a Masonic home.
Cleveiands first Grand Circuit meet
Ing was held at Glenville, five miles
from tho city. There the Northern
Ohio Fair Grounds werc built in 1870.

races on record. And there Maud s.
made her record OF :oS% in 1886. The
city now extends miles beyond the site
of the old Glenville track. and Cleve-
landers must go out to North Randall
to sec the races.

w. II. Gocher. secretary of the Ma
tional Trotting Association. recently
turned up a forgotten file OF letters in
the office at Hartford which make in
teresting reading In regard to famous
old time trotting tracks and their
equipment half a century ago. A
QUESTIONABLE had been sent out to all
members of the then newly organized
N. T. A. and the letters just discovered
are the answers. in the early seventies
there were almost as many mile tracks
as half milo rings. To-day the latter
outnumber the former twenty to one.
those of the Grand Circuit being al
most the only mile tracks now In op-
Grafton. The pneumatic sulky and the
increasing cost of land near large cities
arc the principal causes of the change.
When the QUESTIONABLE went out
nearly fifty years ago IL found the
Prospect Park Fair Grounds one of the
popular trotting tracks In the vicinity
of New York. 1t had been opened In
1868. and was located at Gravesend, on
Long Island. The report stated that q
railroad was expected in 1875. At that
time Fort Hamilton was the nearest
telegraph station. To reach the track
from New York II was customary to
cross Fulton Ferry and drive out to the
trotting races there for THE NEW YORK
HERALD In early days. once said that a
stranger could find his way back to the
ferry by following the trail of empty
bottles along the road after n big race.
There were many big matches In those
stirring times. Frank III. Ellis OF Phil

trotters, Lee Worthy, 2 :05, and Jane

season, can remember some Of the earl

But They Must Not Be Quar-
relied With, Amateur
Expert Says.
nv MARGUERITE r. BAYLIss.

BY MARGUERITE II. bA ALASS'
Many people miss the acquaintance OF
some of the most interesting horses In
the world because they insist upon
knowing only gentle horses.
An accomplished horseman regards an
animal as only spirited who might
be considered dangerous by
the average bystander. For the pur-
pose of this paper. when l say a gentle
horse I mean one whom most people
would not fear.
III tempered horses usually have pro-
nounced personality. For this reason
they require such individual handing
that no rule for managing them Is pos
sible unless we lay down the ironclad
law that they must not be quarreled
with. Any man who cannot get along
with such q horse without fighting II
has no business to be around 1t. More
tempers have been ruined and more
bones broken by that system than can
be estimated
Many men and few women. who
have a good deal of the kind of horse
manship that might be called faculty
of execution are so anxious to be
master" to assert their control. that
they antagonize the horse, and when
blooded horse is once genuinely down
on" it's would-be master he had better
stay away from 1t. A man who will get
a horse into such a state Of mind In the
first place will never be horseman
enough to conquer it,
Harncssed with Pitchfork.
They tell tale in our family about a
,ax,% a a
from my grandfather, who cautioned
him that Harry was hot tempered. The
cousin was no lhorseman. He thought
Harry had been ''babied" and that all
be needed was boss. The first time
my grandfather visited him after Harry
went to his new home the cousin had
been reduced to an ingenious system of
harnessing Harry by means Of a pitch
fork with the harness looped upon 1t,
operated from outside the stall. Two
weeks later the cousin sent word to my
grandfather to come for Harry. He
wanted to return the horse but could
not deliver him. He wanted my grand
father to make haste. as he could not
get near enough to Harry to feed or
water him. Yet in my grandfather's
slow work in team on the farm.
There is a certain difference between
vice and vices. Many really furious
tempered horses have no bad habits at
all. Horses of difficult nature may be
divided into three classes-those who
have one or moro bad tricks but are
otherwise gentle. those who have no
bad habits but are distinctly not gentle
and those who are both bad tempered
and full Of tricks. The meanest balkef
may be as good natured as a sheep.
Some violent runaways are as mild as
rabbits in the stall.
Would Choose a Hot Ono.
Sometimes the horses Of the third
group are very interesting. but as a
rule the most marked character and
intelligence distinguish the horses OF
the second class. II I could have a
choice between two horses, otherwise
about equal one extremely quiet and
easy tempered, the other high strung
and touchy. should select the second
horse for my own use. There is charm
OF personality about a hot tempered
one, an intelligence. q mental alertness,
call 1t what you like. that the placid
horses do not often equal. Moreover,
irritabillty is usually one phase OF high
