in Fine Fettle for Break

and Walter r. Cox of Goshen, who for
many years have led the list of winning
drivers in harness racing, shipped their
colts and campaigners to Cleveland
few days ago, and they are now at the
North Randall track, ready for the word
.Go" when the Grand Circuit ot 1922
is ushered in on Monday of next week.
Their stables are the largest and most
formidable in the country, each having
three or four trotters of extreme speed
elibigle to start in some of the races,
with at least one good horse for nearly
every event on the program.
In Peter Manning, :57A Arion Guy,
1:591a; Car Worthy. 2 2:03A Prin-
cess Etawah. 2:03h. and Bill Sharen,
2:11A. Murphy takes the road this sea-
son with five faster trotters than any
oths. reinsman ever had in his string
The first two are now in the exhibition
class. with nothing in sight deemed good
enough to race against them, so they
probably will confine their seasons ef-
forts to breaking records In exhibitions
against time. Peter Manning now holds
the worlds record. yet neither his trainer
nor his owner, Irwin w. Gleason or
Williamsport Pa, is satisfied that the
mark represents the limit of his speed

than his owner and trainer that he is
likely to lop off full second from the
record, If fortune favors him this year.
out for Stallion Record.
Aron Guys target is the champion
stallion record of his half brother, Lee
Axworthy. :5sH, whose bones are now
In the American Museum of Natural
History. The great son of Guy AK
worthy, 2:0SA, was content to set the
record for four year-olds below 100 in
1921. and was very conservatively
handled 1t is expected that Murphy
will this year call for every ounce OF
effort that is in him in hopes of making
q low record for stations before he goes
to the stud Neither Peter Manning nor
Arion Guy had beaten 2 IL in his work
before going to Cleveland.
Czarworthy and Princess Etawah
are Murphy's entries in the 2:0S class
through the circuit. Frank B. Walker
who starts the horses on the mile
tracks. thought Czarworthy could
have beaten the record for three-year-
olds-2:02a4-las season if Murphy had
cut him loose. The mare was known
TO be good for a mile in about the
same notch. With both of them named
in the same race at each meeting, the
POuEDkeepSle trainer can rest one Wllilc
he starts the other as they journey
down the line from Cleveland to Lex
ington. At Toledo, the second meeting
in the circuit, they will probably en-
counter the visiting Austrian stallion,
Baka, champion of Europe, as well as
W. B. Dickerman's Westchester county
trotte.. Taurida, and a number of
others that look equal to making the
Murphy star step lively.
Bill sharen Is Tanned.
Bill Sharen is the standard bearer of
the r?ughkeepsie stable in the 5000
ard $1,000 races for trotters of the 2:12
claas. He was kept in retirement all
last season after Murphy had paid
s25 600 for him and entered him every
where. In Canada. where he came
from they thought he could beat any
body's trotter. but when Murphy got
.;.s home he proved to be a veritable
.k..l of the woods and had TO be gelded
tnd broken before he would do to bet
on in a race. In 4aSoe ~ tear down
his stable on one o,~s A~e wrenched
an ankle. which probably was the real
cause of holding him over until this
year. He is reported to be in fine fettie
now although none of Murphy's horses
had trotted as fast as 2:l0 before they
left the Hudson River Driving Park.
For the colt races Murphy has several
we'll bred three-year-olds, including Billy
Smith and Hope Frisco owned by II.
w Hanan of Brooklyn. Both are en-
tered in the $4,000 Kentucky Futurity
and other important races. Hope Frisco
is the filly selected and purchased by
Murphy for Mr.. Hanan at the highest
price ever paid at auction for year
ling. She has not yet done anything
noteworthy in public, but her name Is
Hope and she is still young. Etagale
and Probable are two of the Poughkeep-
Sic trainers two-year- trotters.
Roy Grattan. Margaret Dillon, Peter
Henley, The Sherwood and the three
year-old colt Merriman are among the
crack PAGERS of the Murphy stable

Gregor the Great, 03A trotted an
easy mile in 2:12 by way of preparation
for his coming engagements in the :Os
class where he will have to measure
strides with some of the best In the
country. Everybody who has seen him
move, says he will be hard to catch
this year In any company Il. Colorado

Coxs string entered In the 2 :0S races
Emma Harvester 2:04h. and Jane the
Great, . :04A u. are the ones he relies on
for the :05 class. where they will meet
Mr.. Dickerman's Media. :03A. and
