'I‘he'Gl}lnd Circuit of1D19 is now its last lap. T-here are thirteen mega ings in the, series, the ninth being held Labor Day week at Hartford where Murphy, Cox one ooers inci-ees ed their winninls for the season to 8113.493- Fl/fly or sixty thousand may be added to that amount before the curtain fails at Atlanta, although Gears’ accident at Syracuse may keep him on the retired list for the balance of the year.

ed so bright when he won at Cleve. land with A-bbie Putney in July, ha, been rather disappointed with the showing of his filly since that date as well as Mary Coburn, while McDon.

TUB \lll¢llllil‘ilil€ fame of reinsmen

flits from shadow to sunshine as their horses prove good or bad. Still of late years there -has -been a few who have defied fortune's buffets, which at times come to all on the turf, In that respect Gears has been the lender, notwithstanding the numerous acci. dents' which have Iaid him away for repairs during the flood tide of the racing season. He made his first ap- pearance on the northern tracks in 1877 with Alice West. She was fol- lowed by Mattie Hunter, Jos Braden, Brown Hal, Kate ishler, Hal Pointer, Frank Buford. and McEwen, before C. J. Hamlin, persuaded him to trans fer his house flag from Tennessee to Buffalo. where he soon made his pres- ence felt with Robert J., 2:01%, a, champion, Star Pointer, Hai Braden, Hal' Dillard, Nightingale, the three mile champion, Fantasy, American Bella, The Mcrnk, The Abbott, with which .he reduced the trotting record to 2:0356, Lord Derby, Dare Devil, Heir at Law, and Direct Hal. which he bred, raced and retired from the turf unbeaten.

After the Village Farm passed,

Gears located ‘at Memphis, Since then he has raced such sterling performers as Anvil, Dudle Archdale, The Harves- ter, wit-h which he reduced the stal- lion record to 2:01 and the two mile record to 4:1554, Waiter Direct, Et- uwah, Onward Silver, June Red, -High- ball, and St. Frisco, whose contests with Mabel Trask were the feature. events for three seasons. ,

This year until Heglar bolted

through the fence at Syracuse and put an and to what was a -perfect day for the old master, Gears was ramping down the line with Dudette, Molly Knight and Goldie Todd. The first two won their engagements at Bos'~ ton and Hartford, while Molly Knight in the Matron Stake forced Periscope out in 2:0455, the fastest heat trotted by a three year old this year, a few minutes before her driver was carried unconscious to ‘the hospital. Gears" third star, Goldie Todd, is the fastest green pacer produced to date. She has a light, airy, bird-like way of going which seems to take the w-his out of her competitors and finishes her miles at»_a»r'ate of speed that has not been seen among pacera since Directum I., aiid W‘llilii'm met in their matches in 1914.

Up to the hour of his accident,

Geers, who is now in his sixty-ninth year, has been racing week after week with Cox, Murphy, McDonald, Andrews, Thomas, Hyde. Dodge. M0' Devitt, and Stinson, and each, after- noon getting as much pleasure out of winning a heat as Lyman Brusie who le earning his spurs behind the Brook Farm trotters. Wlith him the racing season has always been like one big holiday, while with Cox and Murphy it is a bus-mess proposition- The lili- ter from boyhood had a passion £01' driving. I-Iis first mount was behind a goat.-, Billy was followed by H iiillli wagon ghorse. He irilva way 1° Blue Bird, which was purchased for $125 and sold for $1500 after she .paced in 2:2454, His next selection was the cross firing pacer Dr. Dewey. Ha cost $225. Murphy shod him so he went clear and sold him for $2500. The trotter Nelly may fellvwed- SM won a number of races and was sold for $10,000.

Cox is a New Hampshire product.

He drove his first race in-knickg,-_

-backers at a church picnic. His mount

W” the 39ld‘il-18 Mali Morning. He W" °Wll°d lil’ a Manchester man, who told Cox to collect the 315 win- lliilsl' 30 'ililt lla would not be asked to donate a portion of it to the church Cox did so and held out five for his services. While preparing May Morning for

this event. Cox had a brush one after- noon -with a local star. He had h-is trotter hitched to ~a Concord wagon and his three brothers were with him. As the town horse flashed hy, Waiter Dushed his brothers under the seat and set May Morning going. Cox won after racing by his home. His mother was on the porch and saw the contest as well as the four boys in the wagon. Upon his return the budding reinsman pulled his brothers, who are now known Ito the world as Lieutenant- Governor Channing Cox of Massac- husetts, Honorable Louls J.' Cox, Judge of the Supreme Court of the same state, and the Honorable Guy Cox, District Attorney, from under the seat and .put May Morning inthe stable. His mother then interviewed him in the woodshed and added the usual remedy.

-The opportunity to make a dollar

prompted Cox to go with the trotters. After scurrying around the half-mile tracks, he appeared in New York, in 1903 and won with Prince of Orange.» Since that date his colors have been seen behind many`of the fastest per- formers as well as a few that were sold, for the high dollar. He prepared Peter Scott and sold him for $30,000, while he also received large amounts for Lady Wanetka, George Ga-no, and Belvasie. He coxade Barton Pardee to take $35,000 for Mabel Trask. When he declined and priced her at $250,000, Cox made her the greatest race mare of her day. She is still in training. He also purchased Lu Pirince ton, 2:02, -the fastest stallion now on the turf, for $2500 and deducted $400 for a bill which he had some trouble in collecting. The seller protested but finally looked up the statement and found an old one which did not have n credit for his last payment of $100.' He settled on that basis, Cox getting the horse for $2400 and at the same time giving un apt illustration of his Yankee method of collecting old debts

Leave it to Cox to get the money. It

always comes his way, notwithstand- ing .the bumps' in 1818 when his stable supplied a few of the trailers almost every afternoon. That, however, was only a lean streak which is always looked for by those who bring home the bacon. ln his day he has won with Margaret Druien, Busy’s Laddie, Har- vest Gale, the erratic Esther .W., Earl Jr., Young Todd, A,Gam_e of Chance, Del Ray, as well as this yaar’s shower of winners led by the beautiful trot- ter Mignoia, the mud lark McGregor the Great, Frank Dewey, and Lu Princeton.

This year has also been made mem-

orable by .the return of W. J. Andrews after an absence of three years caus- ed by a su-n stroke at Syracuse in 1915. Beginning on the mile tracks with the Village Farm, he started the Ham- l-ins on their winning way with Prince Regent and Mocking Bird. When they parted, he took Mascot and reduced the pacing record to 2:04, and then, made William Simpson halllly hy sweeping-down the line wi-th Bouncer and reducing John R. Gentry's record to 2:0055, before E. H. Harriman em- ployed him in 1898 to win a match for him.

At .that time Harriman and Marcus

Daly were enemies although on t'he surface everything looked pleasant. The struggle between the copper king and the railroad magnate entered ln- to every phase of their lives'. Daly was breeding trotters -in Montana while Harriman had a few at Goshen, New York. Being anxious ,to humiliate Harriman in his own door yard, Daly challenged him for a_ three year’ old race over the .“historic track. He had a year’s crop to select 'from while Harriman had only one and it was 8. cripple. Harriman made the match.

The following day Mr. Harriman

called in Rensselaer Weston and told him what he had done. Weston was familiar with the condition of the fil- ly and suggested that he employ the best match race trainer living. W. J. Andrews was selected. He -took the fil- ly in hand and on August 25 won the race after n six heat contest, one of the miles being so close that the judges called it n dead heat. E. H. Harriman enjoyed that victory more than his greatest piece of work with the Union Pacific, Andrews remained with him for several years but finally returned .to the -turf, where he was soon riding in front with Grace Bond, Ethel's Pride and Tiverton.

ST. LOUIS. Mo, Sept. 17.-Inter-

rupting his game df eblitaire in a cell in the County Jail at Pinckneyville. Ill.,,‘sixty miles southeast of hare, William Porter Wrolen told, with not a tremor in his voice, how he had drowned his wife in the presence of their two children, so that he might marry Mary Brown, a slvteen-your old country girl. Mary Brown, Wrolen's bride of three weeks, .who is also in prison cobbed out her love for Wrolen and announced-her determination to stick by him to the end.

'd'va known little Mary for fifteen

years," Wlrolen said. “When I was inet a younnrer tueyiuved on afnriii adjoining ours. I love 'ner batter than .tnytlllng in the World."

came toward me and I hit her in the jaw with my fist, knocking her under the water. She came up, but 1 didn’t make any attempt to pull her out She came up and went down again until she had coma up three times; then she didn’t come up any more.

"Then I culled for help. l told neigh-

bors that I had been swimming do'wn around the bend of the creek and that when I came back I saw bubbles com- ing up on the water and knew my wife had been drowned. I didn’t see Mary until twelve days later. Then we decided to run away and get mar. ried, which we did."
