We have received a turf goods catalogue from the Kopf Manufac- turinz Company, 49 warren Street, New York City, which givm a com- plete line o: home-a racing Mo". series. This firm is the leading one of its kind in America. Ten or more year there were no less than three turf goods concerns but today a great bulk of the business is in the hands of the Kcpf Manufacturing Uflmpflny.

R. J. Reynolds, a nephew of W. J. Reynolds the tobacco magnate, and himself a big figure in that in- dustry. has developed a great fond- ness for trotters and pacers, taking part in matinee events and super- lntendlng some of the training of his spcedsters. Mr. Reynolds. has pumhascd the Calumet Farm train- ing prOpeIty at Iexington, Ken- tucky, c; rich comprises barns, office blacksmith shop, paddocks and all desirable ‘adjuncts for housing and developing speed.

One of the Abbedale fillies sold at the Old Glory sale last fall to H. Stacey Smith which Ls training at Pinehurst, N.C., recently paced a mile in 2.23 1-4 with the last half in 1.01 1-4.

Squires s: Hudson, Inc. are hold- ing a speed sale at Springfield, Mass, Tuesday, March 5th.

Preferred stock 2.14 1-2. Margaret's Bun 1.10 1-4 and many others.

Our thoughts run back to the I00d old days before the depression and drop in Silver Fox prices and we think how that list of speed.- eters would have affected us then. We aver that our kit would be packed for Springfield and we would be on the way there today.

Margaret's Sun 2.10 1-4 ls a daughter of Kalmuck 2.15 1-2, own- edby Willard Kelly, Southport, and out of Margaret Dillon 1.58 1-4. She headed several summaries last season and is eligible to a 2.21 class.

Grace Diryct 2.00 l-fl. regarded by many as the gntatest of racing pacing mares, died just recently at Arrow Point Farm, Lexington, Ken- tucky. She was foaled in 1914 the property of W. M. fllolley, Columbia, 'i‘enna., sired by Walter Direct 2.05 3-4 and out of Misty Gentry by John R. Cnntry 2.00 1-2.

A; a four-ycar-oid she started in ten races and attracted a. lot of at- tention and that fall was sold to

who was then becoming very active, in the harness sport. The next season, 1910, she was raced for Mayor Floater by Ben Sturgeon and Earl Beck, and made n. remarkable campaign, winning (on firsts on the Grand Circuit and seven on mile tracks, her eaming: totalling 810,- M ._

m addition to her very respect- able amount o! msh and seventeen wins she had the honor of defeating some of the greatest pacers cf rec- ent years" including Single C. 1.50 1-2, William 1.5a 1-2, Miss Harris M. 1.58 1-2, etc., etc. Her record of 2.00 1-2 was also obtained that year.

In 1900 she accounted for six firsts and four second; in the free- for-ails and in 1921 was undefeated in her half dozen appearances, likewise in 1922. In her sixth cam- paign in 1023 us the property of Penny Bros, Greensbc , N.C.. an in the hands of Dave Keltie, Grace Direct scored ten victories and one second in eleven starts.

In 1924 she made thirteen starts with eight times first and twice second. In 1025 she started fourteen times and was nine times first and in 1920, her last and ninth consec- utive year racing against the fastest horses in America, she made s1: starts, was twine first. once second, once third. once fourth and once unpiaced.

In her nine campaigns she nude 108 starts and won 71 victories. was nine times second and finished back of the money on but seven cc- cssions. No other more surpasses her in point of victories won nor is there one which took part in as many as a. hundred races which can show as high an average o! success. She was the best of her time over both mile and half-mile track; grid her success is the most positive evidence of her having been a very superior performer.

Jack Leonard who spent a couple of season's in the Maritimes and was frequently used as a "catch" driver at the Halifax Exhibition of pre-wsr days, is training a stable of trotters and paccrs at the New York State Fair grounds.
