Gentry tha 'j rastna KIdk ssod roae the Hrnaatlonal 4 lretter Record of Crack Btvnnl Tnmii Fow persons not In touch with harness-racing 'i i Intercuts In New York are aware of the ex i traordlnary success which attended the efforts of metropolitan trotters, pacers, and trainers In I i the campaign of 1800. Owing to the faot that i the harness horses are accustomed to follow the clroalU throughout the racing season.

Instead f( of remaining all summer on the tracks abont New York as the runners do, they are lost sight 'T i1' of. In 'a measure, when the campaign Is at Its height, even the enttinslosts of the trotting fra- fL lift ternlty finding It hard to follow, from week to Pltv week, the movements of the Fleetwood brigade. i jiff Ever since the days of Dan Mane and John jf Murphy the metropolitan contingent has SP I si usually held Its own on the circuit tracks, bat fff 1 In no previous Tear, perhaps, hnve so many i'tj I yi honors fallen to the lot of New York horses and horsemen as In the campaign Just ended. In addition to a long list of brilliant perform- ances, the world's records for pacers In both fjjv single and double harness were lowered by side wheelers owned In New York, while the sensa-; tlonal trotter of the year, the champion wagon-Jo puller, and the greatest trotting team ever ft, hitched to pole also hailed from here. il First honors fairly belong to William Blmp- ty son's Empire City Btable and the phenomenal ft paolng stallion John It.

Ocntry, who was the star performer of the campaign. When Mr. 'W Simpson purohased Gentry for $7,000 last Feb- rnary a good many turfmen thought that he had seen his day, and that he would play a 'J minor part If he ventured to measure strides Si- with Robert Joe Patchen, Frank Agan. and 3 Star Pointer In 1890. Andrews prepared the jj stallion on the covered track, near Buffalo, and I started him for tho first time at Red Oak, driving him an exhibition mile In on i Jane SO.

This was a reduction of half a secoDd jf In the champion stallion's record and an un. K' gj paralleled performance for that tlmo of the ft year. When Gentry met Joe Patchon at Wash-i? Inston Park. Chicago, the next week and sue ty oumbed easily In and 3:004, there was a slump In Gentry stook. Following this dlsap-Si pointing performance.

Gentry brought np the il?" IVs rr tne fre-for-all race won by Robert at jgB; Elkhart, and was atonce set down by the Ef i wiseaores as being a back number, lip lair Andrews kept his horsa In retirement after saHL tnl fla8C0 wnlle the other pacers went to Sag- UiJTsS Inaw, Detroit and Cleveland, and by the time a Columbus was reached In tho march down tho fifji linet, Gentry was again good enough to chip a JoT quarter of a second from his Red Oak record In MA an exhibition against time, bat he still avoided gj; Frank Agan and Robert J. In the free-for-alls. ct When the horses got to Iloston In the latter part Sep of August, Uentry took another shy at his old antagonists, and to the surprise of the talent he Just missed winning first money from tho then 'i'l mf Invincible Robert J. This race put him on tdge mBs? for the big free-for-all at Fleetwood the next week, and in the most brilliant harness race on jfo'-; record he defeated the pacing king. Then came 7BH the race against Star Pointer at Glens Falls, In j' blch ho equalled, the second neat of the race, tho exhibition record of Robert had stood since 1894.

Horsemen were so surprised that they thought the track must be short, the chrunometersslow.orsoihethtngelseout of Joint. rt It was not until the splendid son of Ashlaud Wilkes went over to Portland, and on bept. 7r a raw. chilly day, paced a quarter In OiUUW. analf In 0:50.

three-quarters In tnllr in that the circuit followers, who etood around In overcoats, would believe it pas- 1 stbla that the time reported from Ulens alls wus correct. This performance made it plain i J- that Gentry could beat 2:00 under favorable tj conditions, but bis owner missed the golden op- portunlty to do the trick by keeping him in the I North until the season was too far advanced, 4 and the wonderful pacer went Into winter quar- tern without crossing the line. While Andrews had the sensational pacer of tho year In John R. Gentry. Trainer Isaao lJ Fleming of Fleetwood was burning up the i fj tracks in New EnglaDd with the now noted gelding Page, who ranks among horsemen as 3X the sensational trotter of the season.

Page did i SV what no other horse has evor done the first year oat, trotting to a record of within two j5 months after sturtlngln his maiden race. He commenced his career at the Fleetwood spring meeting, June 8, In the class, and before i- the end of July ho hna graduated into the 2:10 1 class, where he was forced to meet such horses as Cephas, llonton and the best of the New Knglaud free-for-allers. Fleming kept his 4 great trotter moving with only two week's let- i up until after the race for the Transylvania 1 btakes at Lexington, Oct. 15. All told.

Page trotted fifteen races. He was l' 4 ten times first, three times second, once third, and once unplaced. He won twenty-five heata 'it" below 2:20 and nineteen heats la 2:15 or better. Line ome other turf stars of the past season, Pngo Is a short bred horse. His sire.

Huron Crlp, met with an accident at Grand Rapids, in July, the indications were that Kelly jM would drive the sensational trotter of tho year. Baron Crisp won the cup in his class in the I -xit lnter-club wagon races at Fleetwood nnd Park- iii way last May, pulling his owner's road wagon I -fl In and at the June meeting at Fleetwood -4 he trotted three beats In and 1 macb to the surprise of the talout. 1 From here he went to the Northwestern Breeders' meeting at Chicago, and on July 1.

Alley Bonner, and other New York -45 horsemen. Bowno opened the campaign at the 3k Fleetwood spring meeting by winning a the- ig! heat race with the Ptrk tile Farm broodmare if: Mystery, driving her three heats below 2:20.

With Nooegay, another broodmure from Parkvllle Inrin, Bowne made an old-fashioned killing at tho Mjstio Park meeting In July.

The daughter of it General Washington had Just como from V' the farm, where she was shaped up by R1 Superintendent Shult, nnd starting against 7 Queecby, Chester, Caprice, Benton likes, fc and othors of their quality, she was over- looked In tbo betting, lluwne and his friends I won handsomely when the old mare went to tho front in straight heats, cutting her record donn ft to 2:1:1 in the second rouud. The New York trainers won another good race with Mr, Clark's J. bay gelding Dick at the Old Orchard meeting In 'St Jul), defeating Maple Valley, Wyoming, und other fast ones, and driving the son of Elberton to a record of In the third heat. Dlok's record at the beginning of tho season was Alley Bonner's handsomo trotting stallion King Rene, who Joined Bowno's stable late in tho spring, defeated Jubilee, Uar- j'i," danus.

Rifle's record at the beginning of tho season was 2:101. iff Trulner John P. Glbbs met wllh astrokeof uncommonly hard luck when Cephas, the main- stay of his stable, was out down In a race at I Iloston In August, running away and Injuring himself and Glbbs so badly that both horse and oxlTer wot laid up fer repairs until the cam- patgn ended. Cephas could beat the best of the New England free-for-all trotters earlier In the summer, nnd some of his admirers believed him to be the best horse In his class In the country.

Of his many brilliant races In and around Boston tho best was trotted nt Combination Park, Aug. when ho defeated Benton M. and Pago In2it34, 2112. and the fastest lime ever made up to that date on a half-mllo track. The game little mare VanZnndt was one of the stars of the metropolitan contingent on the trotting turf last season.

Starting without a record In Jane and driven by her owner, J. Deverraux. an amateur relnsman. Van Zandt campaigned successfully agalnBt the best trot-tors In her class nllovor tho country, winning thirteen straight races and gaining fourth heat record or 2:12, when sho defeated l'age nt the Fleetwood Grand Circuit meeting in beptember. To Van Zandt bolongs the distinction of being the fastest trotter ever raised on Long Island or vicinity.

This rouhg horse campaigned successfully on the New Encluud circuit during thu summer, afterward pulling down number of stake races at the full meetings In New York, Newark, Bethlehem, and Baltimore, mid winding up the season In October at Lexlngtou, where he won two races and a record of 2:08.

Josle B. cut her last year's record of 2:12 in the fifth heat of a hntd-fought slake race at Detroit, hut she was not one of the big winners of the ytmr. Major Samuel T. Dickinson's small but select stable of trotters also turned out rather disappointingly, owing to a series of mishaps which befell Roselenf and Too Soon, the mainstays of the string. When Kimball Patterson took the horses to Chicago In June Roseleaf was raster thnn nvr hAfnrf.

nml her vminir ImiS great hopes of driving her to a record below 2:10. She went lnm in her second race, however, nnd failed to boat her last year's record of Too Soon, tho black colt by Direct that Major Dickinson purchased from Monroe Salisbury, had an attack of catarrhal fever which threw htm out of training early in the season. Sally Simmons. had a let which kept her from beating the best In her class, and Cocoon, 3:15, the remaining member of the string, railed to develop speed enough to win in Grand Circuit company. The late C.

W. Kellogg owned in Armon one of the fastest and best trotters of the metropolitan brigade, and the veteran breeder was perhaps never haDpler in all his life than on the June day Fleetwood last season wbenMonnny Powers hustled the olg son of Axmoorhomein front of such good ones as Island Girl, Jettle, und others. Azmon's time In this race was and and he won so cleverly that the performance mude him look formidable In almost any company. Then he nas taken sick, nnd did not fully round to until fall. At the Fleetwood September meeting' he was beaten bi Alcidalla in 2:114.

but such great ones as Benton Quurtermarch, und Itlfie were behind him. This race served to put him In condition, and at Providence the following week he won the 2:16 race, gaining his present record of A rortntght later he took the measure of the great colt Bingcn nt Boston, winning the Puritan btalllon Stakes and trotting a heat In on the loose looting of the ReadUUo course. A. B. Darling, another patron of the sport, whose death, llko that of Major Dickinson nnd Mr.

Kellogg, has left a gap In the ranks of the New York trotting fraternity, had a few young horses of his own breeding on tho turf last reason. The best of the lot wus the four-year-old chestnut gelding Axtellold, by Axtell out of Delight, by Starlight, that gained a record of 2:10 In a raoe at the lerre Haute meeting In September. At Louisville he was beaten half a length in and at Lexington he defeated a field or twelve starters in the 2:17 class after losing the first two beats. F. P.

Olcott, who has an extensive breeding stud on the old George 1. Seney farm nt Ber-nardsvllle. N. campaigned a few horses In charge of Dave Culross. The speedy little pacing filly Mrs.

Jo, by Lord Eldon, and the young trotting mare Alar, by Alcantara, were the principal members of the stable. Alar was not herself at anr time during the season, but the three-year-old pacer won some good races In the West and in Boston under great disadvantages, and gained a record of 2:15 her first year out. The pacing gelding Kentucky Stnr, by Robert McGregor, was one of the star side-wheelers of the New England circuit, winning some sensational races on the Boston tracks and taking a record of Ho was then ow ned by P. T. Radlker, the New York horseman, who took the crack trotter El Rami through the Grand Circuit In 1805.

Rndlker recently sold Kentucky Star to Boston parties far a long price. No etory of the metropolitan flyers of 1808 would be comolete without mention of H.O. Havemeyer's Bplendid trotting team, Harrletto, by Alcyone, and Miss Llda. 2:104. by King Clay.whonna wettrack at C'ommaclc, 1,.

The result of the six days' bicycle race waa tbe toplo among wheelmen yesterday. When Teddy Hale, the winner, loft the Garden on Saturday night ho was taken at once to the Hotel Bartholdl, where his tralnors gave him something to eat and then let him sleep until 3 o'clock yesterday morning. At that hour he had another meal and then slept until 0 o'clock.

When he arose he consumed not only his own breakfast but also that Intended for Lumsdcn, the Scotchman, aftor which he took another nap until 2 o'clock In tho afternoon. Hnle's principal ailment ts a torero hoarseness, which, his trainers say, is due to tbe foul air laden with tobacco which ho was forced to Inhale alt last week. He Is also very sore abont the hips and sat upon his chair with dlflloulty. "I feel pretty well," the Irishman said to Tnn Bon reporter, "but of courso I'm not the same man that I was beforo tbe race began, I have a terrible appetite and want to eat everything. I am told by my trainers that I lost fullytthlrty-five miles because I was compelled to ride around the other men so constantly, and that sixty-six more wero lost because I retired from the track every time a sprint race was going on.

I could have easily ridden 2,000 miles without being "any worse off than I am now. Yes, I made out pretty well financially, and I have secured an engagement for two vvoeks at one of the theatres here. I'm not an actor, but 1 can get the coin gracefully when they hand It out." oufiuvD.uio vv iikesuarre ooy, wno nnisuea second under the most adverse circumstances, was besieged by his friends as he rested his weary limbs at the Putnam House. If anything Kice seems to bo In better trim than Hale, and was In excellent spirits when the reporter saw him yosterday. "1 did not loso a single pound dnrlng the race," he said, "and elnee last night I have taken on two pounds.

When I left the track for good my trainers took me to a Turkish bath. Then I went to bed for a sleep of four and a half hours, Tbe room was so hot that I could not stand It and had to get up. Although 1 only had seven hours' sleep durluglthe entire week, I did not feel the strain so much as I did the pangs of hunger. 1 wanted to oat all the time, and on Saturday my trainers let me have all I vv anted. I got away with three whole chickens, a lot of oatmeal, plenty of beef tea, ginger alo and bread, and afterwnrd I felt half starved.

"es. I believe that Halo was materially aided by the high-geared chain with which his wheel was fitted, and good handling. He won fairly, but I can get all kinds of monuy to back myself against him lu another race. I will also wager any amount that I oan cover 2,000 miles in 142 hours. This was my first race, and there were many obstacles in my way.

I feel all right, except a trifle sore In tho knees, which will work off In a day or so." Bending, "tho Soldier." who finished third, had to be literally carried to the Putnam House after the race. Aftor being rubbed down by his trainer he was permitted to sleep a few hours at a time. He is suffering from lame knees and a sore throat, due to a severe cold which he caught last Tuesday. He expects to leave for Omaha In about a week. The other riders rested during the day, Major" Taylor going to his home at South Brooklyn.

All the men ridicule the statements of some doctors that the strain due to the race will tale ten years off their lives. If that was the case," said Schock, I would now be something like 000 years old." The men will receive tbe prize money at noon to-day. Colored Cyclers Want the I- A.W. to BeeeB-nlxe Them.

In respect to tho clause In the new definition of an amateur by the United States Golf Association, which Is intended after Jan.

1 to debar any person who has received compensation for his "knowledge of golf," or for "services performed In any capacity connected with the game of golf," the following statement was made by a member of the Executive Committee yesterday: All persons employed by any firm or oom-pany making or selling golf goods will be disqualified from playing for the amateur championship, or In open club tournaments, but they may continue to play In competitions opon only to the members of their own club, or In team matches when tho opposing club Is willing. The stand takon by the U. S. A. Is that It has only Jurisdiction over tho standing of competitors In open tournaments.

Each club may controt folly the conditions of admission to Its club meetings." TheeiTcctof the new ri'les will be In Individual Instances, to limit Charles 8. Cox and Julian W. Curtis to members' contests at the Falrfiold County Club, whllo Arthur II. Fonn may play at the Palmotto Golf Club, and Harry It. Sweny at the St, Andrew's Golf Club.

A man may Join as many clubs as he pleases, however, which will enlurgo his playing opportunities, but ho cannot enter In open tournnmtntB on any links. As Swcnr has often stated his nmatour stntus concerns him more than any profit to bo gulnod from his Inventions, It Is likely he will sell out his Interests.

This advance meeting will bo In January, mid over twenty-five clubs now on the waiting list will como up for election, Thero Is so much business to be trans acted nt the annual gathering that it ts poislblo there may bo both an afternoon and an evening session. Of greatest public Interest will be tho naming of tho links and dates for the championships of 1S07. Tho women's championship seems to lie between tho Kssex Countv Club.
