Great interest is taken in the expected arrival here early next week of the 9-year-old pacing mare Piudence Hy 2.05. This mare took her record on a half- miie track and has consistentl, paced in races very close to that figure. Last season she made 25 starts in very fast company. was four times first. twice second and four times third. in her second last start of the season she won at Harrington. Delaware.

The Horseman and Fair World has been sold out by veteran editor Robert Terry to parties in Lexington. Ky.. and is now being published there and appears in a different format, very similar to The Harness Horse. The many friends that Robert Terry made in his more than fifty years associ- ation with the paper regret the severance of his connection. but will wish him many happy years of retirement.
