This big. upstanding youngster re- cently worked the mile track at North Randall in 2.07 3-4 and had a lot left. Other two-year-olds that showed up particularly well the past week are Blair, owned by Stacey Smith, that worked the two- lapcourse at Newark, N. J.. in 2.10 1-2, and Royal Spencer, that went in a. similar notch over the mile course at North Randall.

The outstanding mile by a three- year-old trotter to date was turned in at Newark. N. J., matinee last Saturday, when Stacey Smith drove his Dillon Axworthy colt Mr. Watts —holder of the world's record as a two-year-old over a half-mile track of 2.05-a miie in 2.05.

A regrettable casualty occurred during the rac’ng at Berea. Ohio, June 7th. when Lee Tink. driving Jakie lvlcFee, trailing in third po- sition. pulled out to make his drive. Coming out the horse went clown. throwing Tink into the air, with Dennison driv ng Peter Mainshect, crashing into the air. Tink was rushed to hospital but succumbed shortly after.
