In his early days he was lcarctukci‘ for the noted sta‘lion ,N:lson 2.09, that at tme time held the worlds trotting record.

Among the rules suggested for the use of the barrier on the Grand Circuit this season are that a tape wouid bc stretched aczoss the track a. humlicd feet back of the bar- ricr; for beating the barrier the driver will be set down for the re- mainder of the day and an auto- matic fine placed on him; should a driver beet the barrier in the lust heat of his race he will be set rlown for the next day he has o horse in start; if there appears to be u gross attempt to beat the bar- rier the horse will be disqualified for the heat and heavier fines im- lposed upon the driver; should any ,drivcr or drivers team up to pocket ‘n favorite during the fifteen second ‘count the starter shrill stop the count and deal with the offending drivers by setting them down and possible fine or suspension levied.

David J. McClary. the first rel-ris- mon to drive a homes horse in two minutes or better, died at his home in Hartford, Conn, January 28th. It wns August 28th. 1897, that Mc- Clliry sturilcd the sporting worl by driving Star Pointer to a record of 1.59% at Rcedville, Mass. The feat, urns a sensation and although ‘zlcnunclations were much slower in those days then they are now yet it was not long before everyone in- tcrostczl in the horse throughout the United States and Canada knew that the goal of a two-minute mile had been reached.

Says the Harness Horse in n re- lccnt issue? "McClarys handling of Star Pointer stands as among the monumrntal achievements in har- ‘ness horse training. Star Pointer was a biz, clumsy-grafted horse por- tlcillarly when going slow, also in- rnuml to knock his knees. but -\vlth infinite patience and marvel- ‘nus cure by Jesse Smith old Point- c-r could vhcn in flight of speed ‘do more than any horse of his lime.

McClary was enjoying unsurpas- sed success among trainers of that era as three days revious to his world's renown ach evement with Star Pointer he won a bitterly fought six heat race with Gulnette 2.02%, also over the Readvllle track. He retired from the sulky a quarter of a century ago and has been living quietly at Hartville, Conn. ever since. He was a. Cana- dian by birth having been born in London, Ontario. He bore the reputation through life of being a substantial, charitable man true to fziends at all times and under all circumstances."

Green Mountain Maid was the foremost producer of record per- formers of her period and famous as the dam of Electloneer, the great family founder at Leland. Stanford Farm, California. The Maid was fouled in 1362 and died in 1888 in giving birth to her sev- eententlr foal. She stood fifteen hands high, had pkenty of trotting action and was said to be one of the fastest trotters out of harness that ever lived. Churics Bnckmnn Stoncy Ford Farm, New York. paid $450. for her when she was carry- ing her first foal. Eleven of 1191' foals he sold for $63,830 and fivc he retained could have been dis- posed of for considerably more than that sum. An offer of $10.00!) for the Maid Wllffl she was twenty was refused by Mr. Backman.

0f course the most famous of her get was Electioneez", whose colts made world's records, in fact revolutionized colt trotting when trained by Charles Marvin of Palo Alto Farm. At one time his gct held the world's records for one, two, three and four-ycar-old fro:- ters. 160 of them entered the list. and only two were paccrs; 104 of his sons were sires of speed and 115 of his daughters vrcrc produc- ers.

The highest priced of the 111111113. foals was Prospero, barn in 1869. He won his fizst race as a threc-

g of the directors on Magch iyear-old and was lmmcrllatey sold

for $30000. Later on he curt wl'h an accident which causcd his drath a a time when lie sccmcci i0 have a very promising career. Lnuncclot. fouled in 1687, sold for S12 500 as n yearling after dispkrvlnr- great speed with very lilflc training.
