0n September 25th at Pomona, i California, Dottie 2.04, stepped the fastest three heats ever trotted over a half mile track in a race, 2.05%, 2.05%, 2.05, bettering by a quarter of a second the previous world's re- Icord made by Senator McKlyo at Columbus, Ohio. It will be remem- bered that we-mentioned in last week's notes that Dottie won there, defeating among others Peter Pitch. 9-02. inst year's greatest stake winner on the Grand Circuit. From August 26th to September 25th she won seven races on half mile tracks.

Ray Henley, 2.019.’, set a new re- cord for pacers over the Dolleston, Pa, course, when he stepped a sec- ond mile in 2.05%. He continues

this year. He is a half brother to Mr.- Henley, Alex MacPhersons handsome pacer.

When Walter Dear (3) 2.02%, won the Matadorcn prize of 17,000 marks at Berlin, Germany, he trot- ted his miles in 2.10, and 2.08 1-5. The track referred to is a real nice course and the appointments are excellent, two beautiful club houses being on the grounds.

The American Sportsman says. “The active season foriracing is now rapidly drawing to a close and there is some hard scramble to ga- ther in a little more of the needful before the curtain is finally rung down. During the early part of the year many of the boys frequently complained about the track and re- fused to start, but along in the fall they are mt so particular.

Realnore (3) 2.1311, son of Guy Axworthy, 2.08%, has been sold by

Spurgeon Gammon, New Glasgow, N. S. He is the sire of Phyllis Rea- more, 2.09%, a winner of several races this season. It is presumed .that Racmorc may find n home at the Nova Scotlo Government Stock Farm, Tvruro, N. S.

Peter Pokey by Captain Aubrey, consistent trotter and winner of lqulte a number of races over the lMaine and New Brunswick circuit this year and who recently took a record of 2.0915, is credited with comings of $3,900 for his owner.

Jess Napo‘eon, raced here last ycnr by Billy Keycs, took a record of 2.10 early in the United States this year and looked as though she was going to clean up a lot of races in her class. However, shc has not headed many summaries but has raced a lot of seconds. On Octo- ber 4th at Dnmzlriscolta, Mnlno, she was three, two, two, to Wilma Scott, best time 2.11.

She was born in 1857 and died in 1885 at the age of 28. During her career on the turf which started when she was eight years old and ended when she was twenty, she

New Jersey farmer and his experi- ences in breaking her were quite out oi the ordinary. It was not un- til after she had wrecked six bug- gies that he decided that farm work was more suited to her tempera- ment and for several years passing through various hands she was made to do duty on the farm, har- rowing, light ploughing, etc. Finally she came into the possession of a master horseman, Alden Goldsmith, one of the greatest handlers of speed of his day.
