tory repeated Itself In the recent race at 1'roe-
. purl between Jdm R Gentry and Jee Patchen.
The latter , to be sure , threw a shoe In the
first heat , and that furnished his admirers
with pleut excuse for his defeat nut they
were only grasping at a straw. As It Is every
experienced horseman to ! firmly convinced thaI
Joe Palchen belongs In the second rank and
John n. Gentry and Robert J In the first rank
of pacers The latter horse paced a mile In
2:02 : at Detroit on the same afternoon , and It
Is II great ! pity that he could not have been
at Fret'pott 10 take a third part In the big
event had he been at the three.quarler pole
to come home , with Gentry It Is probable that
the pacing record would now be 2:00 : or within
a second of It. The rate of speed maintained
throughout the first thrce11 Carters ! was something .
thing unparalleled , and the first half In 0:591h :
simply astounded everybody. This heat told
the story and lhe next two emphasIzed It.
Negotiations were pending ! for a three-
cornered race between Robert J , John H.
Oehtry and Joe Patchcn , to be decided at the
Inl1lanapolls meeting which commences August .
gust 12 , but the Hamllu ! declined to enter
their horse , and there Is 10 be no race. Such
n race , however , might bt' arranged later on ,
say at Terre Haute or Lexington , and then
, the public could be satisfied as to the relative
merits of the three greatest pacers. In this
, race the distance flag should bl placed about
twenty , or .twenty.five yards from the wire ,
ana ! then there would bo no opportunity to
lay up a heal , and the drivers or no two
horses could combine against the olher. Under
der such ccmlltlons we would see a first class
contest In every mlle , and a hlppodrome-
what races or this Icfnd generally are-would
bo ImpJsslble.
It Is a noted fact thai , although the great
Axlell (2:12) ( : ) , who was the wonder of the
trainers' world l In his I.year-old : form , has
aired fifteen trotters with records of 2:30 : or
. .bo ter . very few of his gala took theIr marks
In races , and not one of them could be
Called ! a hlh.claes race horse. Indeed they
have showed such little ablllly 10 win that
several writers , going ou the theory that
, like produces lIIef' . have hlntcd that It must
have been Axlell's extreme speed and not
any of the other race horse qualifications
that enabled him to defeat everything he
met. One of his gel , Axtellold , started at
Freeport and easily won the 3-'ear.old trot
defeating ; such good ones as Abnet and
Medlumwood In straight beats ! , and reducing
his record or 2:29\4 : \ to 2:1ti : % . Axlellold Is
splendidly gaited , has a great deal more
speed than It was necessary for him to show
and , above all , Impresses one as being a
race horse. It may be thaI be gets the
hitherto unknown Quantity In Axlell's pro
oncy ! from side dam , Delight , by Starlight ,
but at all events he Is the worthy descendant -
ant or a noble horse
Lovers or the trotting horse did not have
the pleasure of seeing OnolJua and Deuzetla
meet last year as 3-year-olds , when both
flllics won so much money and fame but
they will this season , and the probable reo
suit of these meetings Is already being dls-
I _ CUBSI'd. Onoqlla won a creditable race at
Davenport .a sew weeks ago , but did not
lower her record or 2:11J1 : , because It was
nat necessary. She Is reported to have
, worked ' a trIal mlle In 2:06Y-i : , however , and
If this 'he lrlle her Irnprovt'lIIent over last
year's form Is all that could have bean <
_ wished for. At Tiffin 0. , week before last ,
t 11euzelta took a record of 2:09'1. : , In the
third heat of a winning race , and could have
t trotted faster had anything driven her out.
j Of course she lee Is In IJrllllO condition , and
every race In which Onoqll1 and ' she cOllie
together ought to produce a battle royal
iIIlany horfCmen predict that before the
season closes one of these mares will have
a record of 2:05 : ! : 01' better.

prolonged affairs . as this Is to be ought to be

sport down on a level with hippodroming
Neither ! Galesburg's population nor that of
