TROTTING NOTES.

Uhlan, who holds the world’s onemil e record, is reported to have recently tripped along over a quartermile on the New York speedway in 26% sconds.

During the 1913 trotting season in the United States the 2min lOsec list took 61 additions. In 1912 the number was 52.

The American trotter, Judson Girl, started in 13 races during the past year, was in the money in all of them and won 15,710 dollars. She has always demonstrated what a hard trotter she was to beat, and her cam-

paign is one of the best made by a iour-year-old. * ... * « Lord Dewey recently worked a mile in 2.3% .in Michigan (U.S.A.) after which he was taken very sick and for a time it was feared he. would not recover. This grand young horse is regarded as a 2.2 trotter next year. In all of his racing during the past season Lord Dewey never made a break. * * * Things generally at Alexandra Park are. extra quiet. W * * V Grampian arrived last week, and has gone into C. Hird’s stable. The horse is not looking any too well. Marmalade, by Mandarene, who was trained by R. Hall, has been turned out as she showed no improvement in her paces. ft * * • Proud. Child, Jun., who has been at the stud at Monganui, is now in T. Richards’ care at Weymouth, near Manurewa. $ * Harry Hendrickson has his Austra-lian-bred pacer, Barium, in work at T. Richards’ place, Weymouth. * * * * Three of T. Richards’ charges, Stranger, Count, and Lady Park, are all having a much needed rest. The list of the actives among T. Richards’ team are St. Abbs, King Capital, Gwelo, Royal Albert, Undine, Reuben, and Sweetmeat, all of whom are doing well under this experienced mentor. * ❖ ¥ * Mr. Chatteris has his maiden candidate, an unnamed filly, in constant work, driving her himself. * ♦ * « Both Bribery and Barmaguie are still sore as the result of their recent racing (telegraphs our Christchurch correspondent). * * ♦ ♦ Ravenschild, the New Zealand Trotting Cun winner, has been returned to his owner in Dunedin. He will probably race at the Forbury Park meeting, and then be spelled till the autumn.
