Lawson was the man that wrote a. seriesof articles in Everybody: Magazine, giving the history of standard 011. which increased that magazine's circula- tion to over a million and re- warded. Mr. Lawson financially 'Iihe fates were later unkind to him and he sold his racing stable and breeding farm at auction and Dr. J. T. Jenkins of Charlottetown bought Devilish Dorothy as 3 three-year-old and brought her home to Ucpton Farm. She was one of the gamest trotters that ever. raepd on a Maritime track and because of the difficulty or getting trotting classes for her she had to race with pacers. but woe to them if the race went over three heats, than Dorothy was on almost certain winner. Fired Cam- eron was her pilot on the above and many other, occasions and at the some meeting he won the Two Year Old Trot with Upton Prince, a colt by Todd Mack, that Dr. Jen-kins had purchased in the U.
