, in that list, is a shade under 1.58 1-2. "In order to get the last ounce of speed from a horse," continued the master-reinsman, "it is neces- sary to humour him. Let him have his own way if he has any peculiar- ities on the track. providing it does not interfere with his speed. At the spine time a trainer must be sure that the work given him be- tween races or time trials does not do him more harm than goods! have had a. number that required drilling and others that had to skip work.

"When Walter Cox raced Mabel Trask 2.01 3-4 she had a habit of stopping after a score and taking a look at the surroundings. She could have been broken of that habit. but Cox did not interfere with her.lths mare being permit- ted to enjoy the privilege and after she had had her peek she was ready to race all the better for it. Anna Bradford. the filly which placed the 2-year-old pacing re- cord at 2.00 3-4, was very high strung. Whenever she was turned to score she dropped her head, giv- ing it a swing to one side before getting under way. She would then put her head in place and flash olf like a. bird. On account of this habit she always wore a very loose check- rein which flapped on her neck when she was racing. This filly could carry her speed as far as any pacer I ever had, but she would not go away smooth-gaited unless she had that play with her head. nor would she stand for rough treatment or harsh bits.

2.01 1-2, the middle half of the mile being paced in a minute; she could have paced either of these heats in two minutes if she had been sent for it. All that I had to do was to sit still and let her go. Nature had balanced her per- fectly, all that she wore being a three-ounce" shoe on each foot. The summer she was a 4-year-old I worked her in 2.02. but as I also had Frank Bogash Jr., I told her owner that he would have to turn her over to another trainer. She moved on. but was not again heard from. a few changes having closed her racing career. '

"Frank Bogash. Jr. 1.59 1-4. was a wonderful little horse. Like Peter Scott 2.05 and Peter Volo 2.02, he was a regular racer, taking his training just like an ordinary htI;e and being ready to race at any time. From the day Peter Volo 2.02 came to me as a 2-year-old he acted like an all-age horse. He al- ways felt good and acted perfectly in or cut of his races. Peter Scott I knew would give all he had ill

making speed all season, and her last race at Lexington she won in 1.59 U4. 1.59. The follow- ing week she reduced her record to 1.58 U4. Miss Harris M. 1.58 U4 was a mare of a different type. If she was not worked in 2.07 or 2.08 between races she would cord up. Dlrectum .1. 2.01 l 4 was one of the same kind. Both of them required a lot of drilling.

"Directum I. 1.58 3i'4 was a nerv- ous little horse and an exception to all rules of training. After I got him ready to race I worked hlln like any other horse. giving hlln a few fast miles between races. with this I found he could go in two minutes. but that he had none of that brush that wins races or makes fast records. For a couple of weeks he did not have any engagements and I let up on him. Then I worked him and he could literally fly. The next week he raced William. 158 U2 at Cleveland and was beaten in 1.58 1x2. 2.00. He could pace in about two minutes that day, but acted dull. Dr. McCoy told me that

At Sherbrooke they were Jogging the horses to sleigh on the track. His brother Louis is there with a nine horse stable, two of his own and seven for oth- or parties.
