Onco out h; eleven races and in the forty glqhl’. heats he romped home a héat winner no less than sixteen times nnd duprcziting this number of seconds with one dead heat for mend place nnd in his sixteen winning heats he made no less than 53v of these heats in 2-30 or bet- tcr.

In comparison with other horses glint raced with him in these eleven roses Bijou finished ahead sixteen times. Icvi Arisios, finished first five times, Molly Harris and Dutch Girl had each four limits to their crrdit. while J. R.. Shcdd nnd Le Roy had encli three heats and Pcrsicit and Arm's had two each, so one mlwhave some ‘ittle idea oi’ the wonderful staying power of our Qnrlicl‘ horses,

As stated in a. former article Bijou was never risked to trot until sold to Mr. Easel-y in his sixth year gnd made his rorord at seven years with only one year's fitting and when we find him three years later beating his competitors over three to one. As a heat winner one wond- ers what such a horse would ac. complish under present day con- dltlens and modern equipment.

In the same year's issue of the YPHT‘ b0ok the writer noticed ac- counts of many long drnrv-n out contests For instance at Phila. dolphin. on Julv 10th, ism wig iiqvg an account of a race that moi; dsiven heats to dedde a winner, there being no less than ten start- It's .

The second and third heats were captured in 2-25 1-2 by n bay gelding named John Fergu- non. In the fourth and fifth heats he finished ninth and during the remaining six heats never got bet- Oer than fourth position- The lolirth heat ivent to rt chestnut gelding named Champion in 2.26- l-4-t-his horse finished last in the first heat. The fifth heat was won by Belle Middleton in 2.2’! 1-2.

The sixth and seventh heats were won by st. Elmo (no doubt the s1re of Elmo importcd to this province by the Tate Dr. Strickland) 8t. Elmo's, Time being 2 2'! 1-2 and 8.25 1-2.

In the eighth hoot Garrison, a. son of Orange Blossom. showed the others the way home m 2,25 1-2 and in the following heat finished fifth. this heat being taken by Molly G. the winner of the ‘ first heat- Mollyfls ninth mile being trotted in 2.26 3-4 only two onc-ilalf seconds
