A half mile saddle race will be

singed by the Charlottetown Riding Club with five or six entries of gen-

t‘cmcn riders in it. This will start from the Barrier and will be one Oi the most interesting features of _ the afternoon's , sport,

The races will start at 2.15 sharp, the first event being the Free For All followed by tho Class B. Trot and Pace and the Class C. Trot and Pace. The riding race will be run off after the first part of the har- ness racing is completed.

Given good weather on Monday afternoon and racing fans will surely see some real sensational trotting and pacing as all the hor- ses are right on edge and the driv- ers are keen to win.

Lexington, Kentucky, a name as- sociated with the harness racing and thoroughbred racing in ever-y. body’s mind, was unfortunate in its dates for racing this year. The first day was beautiful, but all the suc- ceeding days up to Saturday rained and the remainder of the meeting, three days, had to be called off. 1t was a terrible disappointment to the campaigning horsemen who look forward to an annual pilgrimage to Kentucky. ‘where the great stock farms are located and the finest of the troiilnt: and pacing breed are bred and rerircd.

Among the visitors tothe trots at Lexington, Ky. recently was Th0- mas W. Murphy, a few years ago the greatest relnsman in America, but latterly identified with the runners. Murphy's retirement from harness racing was due to a. series of accidents which happened to him during the last two or three years he was in the sulky.

His knowledge of race horses was almost uncanny and his ability to bring them to the post in perfect shape ivas unquestioned. Murphy put more horses in the two minute, 2.05 and 2.10 list than any other driver living, or dead. He was call- ed "The Wizard of the Bulky" be- cause of his sensational finish drives. A Murphy drive meant that every ounce of energy which he possessed was communicated to the steed. '

Reference the above note it is said that one of the most interest- ing duels to watch was a contest be- tween two evenly matched horses driven by Murphy and Vic Fleming.

Everett L. Smith, of Westboro, Mass, who has written for many, many years articles in the Ameri- ~can Horse Breeder under the pen name of ‘Percy’, met with a severe injury, the result of s. spill caused by a collision of autos. He had three ribs broken, which is a regret- table accldent for one who is so‘ well along in years.

The winner of the 2.20 pace, best time 2.08M, ot the Nebraska Stale Fair, September 15th, was Otis M., a full brother and one year younger than Worthy Louise, 2.15, now own- ed by IPrank McKay. Otis M. was a good troitcr and took a three year old record of 2.091%,» at that gait. We wonder if Worthy Louise would not. make a. pacer too? The full sister of both these horses, Doris Worthy, took a record of 2.12 pacing this year.

That the king-pin trainers do not always find things turn out as they expect is shown by the case of Volo Yorke, 2.04%, who has been winning ateadiiy- over the half mile tracks this season, beating the best of them. Last year he was 00m- paigned by Waiter Breitenfield, a

high class trainer, and acquired a ,

record of 2.05% on a mile track. Waiter considered his v usefulness over and sold him to Squires Bros., who sold him to a patron of ilyman - Brusie, who decided to make a. pac- er of him. The changes in his shoes to make him pace added several seconds to his ability as a trotter.

Many of our readers will recall Dan Patch, 1.55%, without doubt the greatest pacer the wcuild has ev- er known. Dan's speed was so great that it was impossible to get horses to compete against him when in his prime, so he toured the tracks shattering records right and left.
