Peter Earl's great race against Lee
Worthy and Bunter at Cleveland showed
that John j. Archbold of Brooklyn got
his moneys worth when he paid SS,050
for the colt at the Fletcher sale ,aSt
November. In the second heat he was
beaten q short head in :07l. and was
coming faster than the winner through
the home stretch. according to Associ-.
Worthy's last quarter was trotted in
the incredible time OF 0:2SE--a 1854
gait. What mile some one OF these
wonderful colts is likely to go some
where this season. And what race

Trotters OF the Orange County Cir
cult will move to Middletown this week
for three days of racing to begin on
Tuesday. The program Is the same
as at Goshen and Monroe, and many OF
the same horses are entered. Much in
terest will center about the colt races
on Wednesday, in one of which Sir
Etawah and Trumpet are to renew hos
tilities. while in the other Edith Worthy
will try to make 1t four straight and
clean sweep through the circuit. The
Brook Farm three-year-old has not yet
lost a single heat and she has trotted
in :10n over half mile track. which
Is deemed equivalent to something like
:06i, on a mile course. This flly was
the leading money winner of last season
among the two-year-olds. having
earned s9,075 in eleven races, seven of
which she won. The way in which she
has trained on shows that some of our
twentieth century trotters can stand
lot OF fast work at n very early age
without cracking. Her present owner
paid $500 for Edith Worthy at auction
In March OF last year. Walter l.. john
her to the sale, paid $1,000 for her as
yearling She was bred by w. l.. Brown

Peter the Great, 2:07A. Her engage
ments include the Kentucky Futurity.
All Orange county will be roofing" for
her when she meets Lee Worthy, 2:05.

w. M. Cameron. an old follower of
the trotters and loyal citizen OF Glens
Falls, writes from there to ask why
Major Delmars name was not in
cluded In the list OF 100 trotters bred in
the state OF New York, as published on
this page last Sunday. THE late Will
lam T.. Spier not only bred Major Del
Mar, but his dam. Expectation. some
thing no other breeder has accom-
plished," he says. The answer to Mr..
Cameron is that Major Del Mar. great
horse though he was, never trotted a
mile In 2 100 or better without the aid
Of wind shield. Peter Manning,
1:57&: Uhlan, I :5s; Arion Guy. 80 ",
and Media. 59h, all made their per-
formances without this artificial aid,
while Media had not even prompter
TO spur her on. Performances like
Major Del Mars :59M and Lou Dill
Ions :5sIa would not be accepted as
records under existing rules. and II is
deemed unfair TO horses whose records
were made under normal conditions that
such discredited performances shoulf be
classed with theirs. ~
