DOWN THE

BACK STRETCH

We had the pleasure of a visit from Earl Semple of Ken-sing- ton, who is so well known in harness horse circles, not only in the Maritimes, but also at various tracks in Maine and elsewhere. He was just readying to take his stable of horses to Lewiston, Maine, race -track where he expects to race, start- ing June. 2, and then-to move on to Gorham, Maine.-

After racing at the two above track-s, he will move to Vernon Downs, New York, where he had splendid success last year. His

srtable consists of: JeweI’s I.-mam, 2.04; Gem McElwyn,

2.06; Volostone, 2.08; Jan B., 2.04; Wilbur M., 2.11; and the four-year-old Star G-al_lon, by Dean Gallon, 2.07 3/5 dam Mary Merk, 2.08 3/5. This is a very

promising trotter, and with his breeding he should be a star. All the horses, with the excep- tion of Star Gallon, are owned by B. F. Steele, Bangor, Maine. Star Gallon is owned by Earl.

AT STUD

Dean Gallon, 2.07 3/5, that was so much in the lirnelight during his racing career, make a short stud season at Ear1’s stable in Kensington, where he and others will be look- ed atter by Tyndall Semple, Earl’s farther. He will be avail- able from now until the latter part of June, when he will be shipped to Maine for breeding purposes.

We think our readers vvfl be interested in going back to the story of Dean Gallon. It was in
