NEW YORK, Aug. IS. - Over
Swallowed by their more spectacu-
lar brothers, the running horses
for most of the year, the trotters
and PAGERS have their day tomor-
row when the grand circuit reach
es a climax with the running OF
the $4,000 Hambletonian stakes at
Goshen, New York.
The race will be watched by 35,-
900 people-as many as were on
hand for the Kentucky derby. To
appreciate the size of such a crowd
you first have to see Goshen. A
gathering of that size bulks large
even in a city the size of Louis
vile, and when you drop it down
in a village of fewer than 5000 cit
liens and one paved street, it's ev-
cry man for himself.
But Goshen is prepared. The
25-room hotel has been freshly
painted, a traffic cop has been
stationed on Main street near the
city hall. and the Erie railroad
has consented to stop its trains for
the one day. The runners of Illicit
spirits, as they call apple-jack ur

there, are working in relays.
Down at the beautiful triangular
mile track all is industry. We
know it is, because we we been to
Goshen before, and Goshen at
Hambletonian times is always the
same. 1t never changes. The
fields around the grandstand are
a riot of color. The biggest tent
the gaudy one of red, yellow and
blue, is the betting tent, where Eli
Church will preside. Eli, chunky
man we'll on the way to go, has
been around the trotterS all his life.
He operates both the hand book
and auction pool methods.
AS for the Hambletonian itself,
our operatives (the same ones who
told us last year Hollywood Den
his could break a leg and still beat
the Marchioness) report that the
race is wide open and that six of
the u trotters who are expected to
go to the post look like the goods.
Brown Berry, snappy stepping
bay colt, owned by the Lyle Broth
ers of Plainfield, NJ j., is likely to
be the final favorite. Brown Ber-
ry ran away with the American
stake No. l at Rockingham re-
Gently and the American No l
was rated as the dress rehearsal
for the Hambletonian. Mary Rey-
holds. owned by w. N. Reynolds,
the big tobacco man, is another en-
try due for heavy backing. Mary
won the championship stallion
stake at Cleveland and the Pen
iEsular Farms stake at Toledo.
Other favorites are King Ben,
trained by the wizard of harness
horsedom, Walter "Long Shot -
Cox Atlantic Volo; Prince Hail.
Hollywood Portia Calumet Donald,
piloted by Will Cation who drove
for the car in Russia before the
revolution, and Spencer McElywn.

Although Foxx has slight chance
