ERE UALITY IS -SURE

The Ben and Gib White stable is of course the oldest and most famous there, it being the pioneer to winter in Orlando and to show others the possibilities of the cli- mate. Mr. White was born in Canada. and as a young man en- tered the employ of C. F. Hamlin at Vilalge Farm, East Aurora, N. Y. The head trainer there was the famous Ed Geers, and young White could not have gone to a better place to get experience in training and balancing trotters and pacers. Mr. Hamlin was a perfectionist and believed in com binlng beauty and speed. No or- dinary looking horse was ever per. mltted to have a stall at Village Farm and some of the most beau- tiful ti-otters and pacers in the world were campaigned in his stable. One of his best buys was the stallion Chimes. which he paid senator Leland Stanford of California 520,000 for as a two- year-old. Chimes was a real fam- - ily founder. Latterly most of his descendants have been of the pacing strain and his blood is carried on through The Abbe, Abbedale, Hal Dale, Adios and many other sires and champions in the United States, and locally by Abbe Worthy and Abner T. Clegg.

Ben White's first great bid to fame came in 1916 when he took over the training and driving of Lee Axworthly and won with him giving him the world's stallion trotting record of 1.588;-a mark that stood for over a quarter of a century. It would take pages to tell of his successful accomplish- ments but we may say that he also drove his son Cribsonis four- year-old trotting mare Rosalind, to a world's trotting record of 1.59'.t. and in 1938 set up the present world's record for s. trotting mare of 1.56 325 with Rosalind at Lex- ingtoin, Ky. It was from the Ben White stable that Mary Merk 2.08 W5, well known trottor in the Earle sample stable. came.

The only horse that we can re member of that came here from Village Farm. owned by C. F. ' Hamlin, was Shadow Chimes 2.05 - that was given his record by Ed

F. Geers. He was without ques- tion the hanclsomest horse that appeared on the streets of Char- lottetown-tall, a. bright bay with jet black mane and tail, uphead- 2 ed with is flashing eye and every- body looked for him, particularly as his owner. the late Fred Rob- ins. had him hooked in winter to a high speed sleigh with a black body and red runners. Mr. Rob- ins wore a beautiful raccoon coat and black peaked fur cap. shad- ow Chimes could turn on a dime and get away like a bullet and it was a sight to see him speed up Queen Street and Great George Street. He was never raced here but in speed for a short distance anyway. he could move away from anything we had at that time.

While Willard MacDonald and Mrs. MacDonald were visiting in Florida a deal was completed with Cmdr. George Buntain whereby Miss Knox 2.09 3.15 is now Wil- 1ard's property. Misc Knox is a very well-bred mare, being by Highland Scott 1.5056 and out of an exceptionally well-bred dam. In her racing career she has won almont noon and is still eligible to the 2.16 pace. We congratulate Willard on his buy because after her racing days are over she will be an exceptionally good brood D1510.

Gypsy Hanover. owned and driven by Walter Candler of Dec- atur, Georgia, won the classified trot in 2.11 U5-the fastest mile stepped in the south this year. Walter Candler is well along in his 70's and is the man who was responsible for putting Coco-Cola on the market. He has owned many of the best horses that have raced in the past few years. The classified trot was won by the three-year-old Secret Charm. driv- en by Billy Houghton. in 2.21 M5. In the classified pace the three- ycar-old Medley Hanover (E.

C.. were treated to a sight when Tommy Murphy. who retired from racing over 25 years ago, helped Ned Bower train the Far Hills, N.J. stable. owned by Leonard Buck. The assistant trainer, Joe Lighthill. was in hospital for a major operation hence Tommy's filling in. Tommy Murphy was without question one of the great- est, possibly the greatest, trainer, driver, balancer and packer of great harna race horas the world has ever known. During the years that he conducted a public stable he was invariably top driv- er and winner of the most impor- tant stakes and he left a whole row of world's records. some of which have since been displaced. We always thought it a pity that Mr. Murphy did not write a book on harness racing giving his ex- periences in training and balanc- ing the great horses he drove. It would be a most valuable guide for the young horsemen. and old- er horsemen too, of today. If such a book were printed we would be a number one subscriber. This is considered the greatest season in harness racing since its inception at Santa. Anita Park. California. The meeting opened on March 12th and at last reports both attendance and mutual han- dle records have all been broken. The real driving star of the open- ing was an amateur relnsmsn. Ed scholar of Aberdeen. Washington. He started two horses on the first Saturday. had a front ride behind the four-year-old Kingts Counsel filly in 2.05 M5. in the second division of a 54.000 pace he got home first with Lumber Lady over a. field of thirteen. The mile was a new record of 2.05 and the back- ers cashed two dollar tickets worth 040.70.

Harry Fitzpatrick. whose name has been famous along the Grand Circuit the last 15 years, had two early winners in the four-you-old tiottsr Eastern Shore in 2.06, and his son drove Hal Gray, a three- year-old pacer by Hal Dale, in 2.06 2x5.
