INTRODUCTORY.

I have noticed for a long time this question appearing in
different papers devoted to equine matters: ‘‘ Where can I
buy a book which teaches how to condition, develop, train
and drive a trotter or pacer?” The answer usually is, “There
is none that teaches the art.” As the inquireris usually some
one that is making a small beginning or venture in the breed-
ing line, and cannot afford to place their stock in the hands of
a first-class trainer for development, it has occurred to me
that it would be a kindness to many thousand small breeders
to tell them in plain horse talk all that is known, and all that
I have learned in my thirty years’ experience in the stable
and on the track, filled in with illustrations of certain points
which I wish to impress by personal experiences with certain
horses which I have handled and driven in races through the
Grand Circuit and elsewhere.

It has been twenty-one years since any work of this kind
has been attempted, and in that time the changes have been
such that the methods then in use have become obsolete and
have been retired to ‘“‘inoccuous desuetude.” There has been
such an advance and improvement over the days of Hiram
Woodruff, that if he were now on earth he would hardly rec-
ognize his loved art, the improvement has been so great. I
do not expect this work will be above criticism as a literary
production, as that is not in my line, but I do mean its horse
talk to be comprehensive, instructive, and adapted to those
readers whom I expect will profit by its perusal.

Any man that has horses in training can by studying this
work see that they are properly handled, and if necessary can
oversee and direct their preparation, This work will also con-
tain the 2:30 list complete up to Jan. Ist, 1889, as I believe
this work will go into the hands of many farmers who would
never see it in any other book.

EVERY MAN HIs OWN TRAINER.

CEA Piliaike alr

The reasons why I decided to write this book, in addi-
tion to what I have said in the introductory why I publish
this work, I will say that I could spend nearly all my time
answering questions in regard to this subject. A very inti-
mate friend will call at my house, and, after a heartfelt greet-
ing and hand grasp, will say Jack, (remember this gentleman
is an intimate friend), he has passed the formality of Mr.
Feek; Jack, what shall I do to get my trotter going? And,
as I love to spend my time with my friends, I give him hours
in inquiring into the characteristics and peculiarities of his
horse, and endeavoring to give him advice which will bring his
probably recent purchase to the front, and thereby benefit
him financially, but does not buy oats for my horses. |

After my friend has bowed himself out, I start for my
stable, and, as I pass around the first street corner I meet a
gentleman who cordially grasps my hand and says, ‘‘How. do
you do, Mr. Feek? I have been waiting to see you for several
days.” It may be Judge R. or Bank President D., who I am
bound to treat with courtesy. He goes on to say the man
he has employed in his stables says his horses want such and
such work, and asks me what | think of it. I of course am
obliging, and another half hour is gone without profit.

Well I manage to get’to the street on which my stable is
situated, and I meet an amateur trainer driving out of the
park, who has been working a horse, and he appears lame. I
am stopped by my would-be brother trainer and asked to
look his horse over to locate the trouble. I do so because
this man may turn out well and I may meet him on the bat-
tle-field of the ring, where a friend is sometimes needed to
help the slowest horse around the upper turn, in order that
my colors may come first to the wire.

When I get to the stable I find a farmer or his son wait-

ing for me, who came in early to inquire when they better be-
gin working that trotting colt.

I find a horse hitched under the shed, who has been
brought to. me for advice about shoeing, as it is well known
that I superintend the shoeing of my own horses in every par-
ticular; if I can find asmith that will doas I direct, if not, I
hire one myself.

Well, when I have obliged every one, I am permitted to
work my own horses for a short time, and after the necessary
lessons and business of the day are over I may receive a tele-
gram from some prominent Western or Eastern horseman
who is on his way through or changing cars at Syracuse, and
desires me to meet him at an evening train. I of course
wish to please him, because I may be in his town next week
buying a horse, or may be attending a meeting of which he
is Secretary or President. Sometimes it is only a social re-
union he desires; more often he has some horse he wants to
consult me about who has peculiarities that he thinks I may
overcome, and thereby increase the value of his stock. I

those who have a National reputation in your town, why
don't you employ them?” ‘“ Well, Mr. Feek, I will tell you,
Mr. S. or Mr. B. cannot be beat on the track, to get in the
sulky and drive a race, but they lack skill and judgment in
putting in condition and preliminary working of colts and
aged horses to get them going. You have the reputation of
taking the raw material and bringing it to the front, and I
am going tosend you my colt anyway.”’ -I say “All right; I
have got plenty of feed and a blackmith shop, and I will try
and bear out my reputation.” After a lunch at the Leland,
we part at the cry “‘ All aboard ” from the conductor.

This work is intended to answer all necessary questions
and to instruct amateurs in the business, so they may have at
least moderate success and profit. There is the same assured
success inthis as in any business to those who are willing to
work and wait. A few will draw a capital prize; no one can

tell who will be the lucky one; a trial is the only test. King
of the Sulky is a cognomen vouchsafed to onlyafew. You may
be a Marvin, a McCarthy, Turner, Splan, Murphy, Van Ness,
Golden, or Doble. A great General like Grant had to be de-
veloped by circumstances, so has a great driver like one of
the above. Be satisfied if you are considered a competent
and trusty trainer among the great army of drivers.

CHAPTER Uke

THE WEANLING COLT—HALTER RREAKING—SHOULD BE WELL BRED—

COMMENCING TO DEVELOP SPEED—LEADING WITH HALTER— WORK-

ING WITH A SADDLE HORSE, &C.

I propose to take the colt at four months’ old, halter
break it, and bring it step by step from a weanling to the
mature campaigner, willing and able to earn his oats, besides
paying off the mortgage on the old farm.

In the first place we will suppose that the reader has some
material to work upon; his colt has some expectation of
speed by inheritance, either through his sire or dam—if
through both, all the better. I am not in this work going to
advocate any particular strain of blood or family, but I wish
to impress the fact, that the better you breed the more cer-
tain the result. The best end of the problem is always the
mother; she it is that impresses the main characteristics upon
her sons and daughters, grandsons and granddaughters, and
when one queen of the harem is recognized by horsemen, her
progeny sell for fabulous sums; for instance, Green Mountain
Maid, by Harry Clay, produced foals which sold, or offers
made which were refused, to the amount of $244,000 ; a yearl-
ing son has recently been sold for $12,500. Another dam,
Beautiful Belle, by The Moor, produces foals which are worth
a King’s ransom; one three-year-old son sold at auction for
$51000, and a weanling for $12,000, and Miss Russell, Mic-
night and Waterwitch, by Pilot, Jr., produces foals that are
known by every child in the land, some of which are beyond
purchase price, namely, Maud S., 2:083, and Jay Eye See,
2:10.

These are only a few instances of the many hundred
producing dams; so I say look well to the mare you breed
from. Stint the best mare you have, or can afford to buy, to
the best stallion within your reach, Do not be afraid if the

8 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

fee is fifty or one hundred dollars, in the end it is cheaper
than a service fee for nothing, or from some inferior horse
whose service fee can be obtained for ten or fifteen dollars.

Pedigree is closely looked into these days, and the popu-
lar and fashionably bred stock is what brings the monéy.
Why? Because it has been demonstrated that it became
popular because that blood could trot to the front in fast
time, and that is what wealthy gentlemen are looking for,

To show how certain are the results when certain rules
are followed, I will mention an advertisement I saw for the
sale of certain stock. The owner agreed that if any purchase
did not enter the 2:30 list, after a certain amount of training,
the purchase money need not be paid. The stock was all the
produce of dams who had records below 2:20, and had already
proved themselves producers. The sires were trotters; they
also had representatives in the magic circle, and their sires
also had first honors,

We will suppose again that you have been wise and have
a first class four months’ old foal at its mother’s side ready to
wean. Put a five-ring leather halter upon him with a leather
stale and let him run about with it on, the stale or lead strap
dangling, and he will virtually halter break himself. When
you approach the colt take hold of the halter strap carefully,
if he flies back ease away on him, if he comes up to you
treat him kindly, caress him and talk to him; do not bother
him too long at one time, but be kind to him at all times. It
would be well to have an apple or piece of sugar in your hand
to give him, in fact, kindness will do more for one of the
horse kind than brute force will. You will be surprised how
short a time and little trouble it takes to teach a young colt
what you wish him to do.

When he is nicely halter broken and weaned, then it
remains for the owner to say whether he will now commence
to develop his speed. Some prefer early develOpment, others
prefer to wait for more mature years, and say early develop-
ment means early decay, and I will wait and have a fast horse

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER , 9

instead of a fast colt and a broken down, aged horse; I will
wait until he is about two years old.

In the first place, when the colt is taken from his mother,
he should be well fed. In my opinion there is more injury
done a weanling foal by not feeding than overfeeding; he
should be kept in a nice, warm box stall, and fed what good
hay he can eat and from four to six quarts of oats per day.
He is yet too young to bit, and if you want to develop speed
in the youngster make a bridle of the halter, pass the halter
strap over the neck and tie into lead ring on the other side;
take the colt close up to the head by the left hand, laying the
right elbow over the colt’s shoulder and taking hold of the
rein on the off side; take a whip in the right hand, holding
it over the shoulder, turned backward toward the hips—in that
way the colt is kept going straight ahead. Great care should
be taken to not put any more weight on the colt’s back than
the weight of the arm. This work should be done by a light-
handed, nimble footed boy or young man, so as not to make
the colt do all the work. A good way is to lead the colt a
short distance from the stable in which he is kept, then turn
him around carefully, and start him back to the stable as fast
as he will go easily. This you might do two or three times
in succession, but be very careful not to be harsh with him.
If he is dull and obstinate, don’t force him with the whip or
pulling, but put him away until the next day, as horses, like
people, do not feel each day alike, and you can do a great
amount of harm to a colt by attempting to force him in the
commencement of his education. If the colt is playful,
capers, and runs, don’t set him back on his haunches or break
his neck, but go up the road again with him and let him know
by kindness what you want of him, and in a very few days,
with such lessons, if he has any natural speed he will show it;
but, of course, this treatment will improve a lunk head if fol-
lowed up any length of time.

Of course the well-bred will develop and improve much
faster than the cold-blooded one. These lessons may be

10 VERY SNGAIN SL LSim ©) WIN aise ASIEN Re

practiced two or three times a week, according to the con-
dition and ability of the colt.

When he is seven or eight months old,and has developed
enough speed to warrant the supposition that he is worth
training as a yearling, slip a light bridle on him with a bit
easy and loose in his mouth (a leather bit is best), and leave it
on him, in the stall, one hour each day. In that way he gets
used to the bit and does not fight it. In a few days put on
an easy check, with biting rig, a light surcingle will do with
crouper attached of good length, so as not to draw too
tight under the tail, as that would irritate him. I have often
seen trouble with aged horses for this reason, and an ordinary
observer would not know what was the cause of their kicking
or attempting to kick. Do not leave it on him at first over
fifteen or twenty minutes at a time; do not get out of his
sight, keep within reach, so that if he gets nervous or angry,
a few strokes of the hand or a few kind words may soothe
him. The first lesson should be short, in fact all of them
should be, but repeated often.

In due season put on a pair of lines of good length, and
drive the colt with them until they learn what the bit is in the
mouth for. Teach them to know what the word * Whoa”
means, also to go ahead of you freely and rein handily first

to the right and them to the left.

Select a good saddle horse that is well broken and casily
controlled, is quick and active, let your man get on the saddle
horse, take the lines of the colt and a whip in your hand and
start your colt off moderately; first ona walk, until he gets
used to it and finds out what you want; then move him off
ona jog; this may be increased daily until you have reached
the limit of his speed. Being sure not to go far enough to tire
the colt, so he will begin to come back to you of his own ac-
cord. Keep him fresh and anxious to go. In this way you
can develop a wonderful amount of speed and will do. your
colt no harm, as he has no load to carry or weight to draw.
The horse galloping along behind him stimulates and en-

courages him, and with your lines you help to steady him,
keeping him on a trot, and your whip, being in your hand in
his sight, helps you to manage him, as the natural instinct of
the horse is to be afraid of the whip to a certain extent; do
not use it on him more than a light tap, as it is a bad plan to
get them excessively afraid of it. There are exceptions, as in
the case of a high spirited, nervous animal, where the whip is
not needed, but in most cases colts need something to scare
them along, and need a little urging to make them show their
natural ability. Great care should be taken to not force the
colt beyond his natural speed. and strength. Our natural
anxiety for improvement is so great that we are apt to ask too
much of a youngster, expecting as much speed in one week as
we ought to develop in a month.

You should watch the colt carefully to see that he is not
hitting himself, as cight out of every ten when they com-
mence to trot will hit the coronet of the hind foot against the
front foot, sufficient to make it sore, even before they are
shod, and they will be afraid to trot. You should not do
much with a colt in the way of developing speed without
using on him tips or a light shoe, in either case tip or shoe
not to weigh over three or four ounces. Put on as described
in the next chapter. With these on you can attach a light
toe or scalping boot on the hind foot, which might save you
three or four months’ let up caused by hitting and frightening
the colt.

With colts that are healthy and strong, you can give
them a little. short and sharp work every day, and they will
improve under it, while others will only stand such work
every other day, perhaps twice a week will be sufficient for
some, and you would see more improvement at the end of
three months than you would if you gave them work every
day.

In all cases of handling colts it requires discretion and
ability in the trainer to get the best results, as you may have
the best colt every foaled and spoil him by ignorance and

12 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

abuse. But if you follow these instructions you will not
make many mistakes, and if your colt has any ability you
will certainly develop more or less speed and do your colt no
harm, unless by an unavoidable accident, which is liable to
happen under any circumstances. I want to impress this fact
on the mind of the reader, that to get the best results the colt
or horse must have perfect confidence in his trainer, and that
can only be obtained by kindness and good treatment under
all circumstances.

No man is fit to handle colts or horses unless he has per-
fect control of his temper, for you can do much more with
coaxing than you can with harsh treatment, for when an ani-
mal becomes afraid of his trainer he loses confidence and will
not improve in that man’s hands. This applies to aged horses
as well as colts.

HITCH THE COLT First TIME DOUBLE—WHEN TO HITCH SINGLE—KICK-
ING STRAP—HiIsS WorRK SINGLE—PUT ON LIGHT SHOES OR TIPS—
How To Put on Tres—Tips NECESSARY BEHIND TO ATTACH TOE
Boogts.

After you have worked your colt for some time with the
saddle horse and desire to hitch him to a cart, it would be well
to give him his first lessons hitched double with another
horse, especially if he is of high mettle and spirited—(this
applies to colts of any age). Hitch him first one day on the
near and the next day on the off side; that keeps their mouth
straight and accustoms them to the pole on either side; they
do not then get the habit of driving all on one rein. If you
drive them only on one side, when they are hitched single
they are apt to have the one-line habit, and it is hard to break
them of it.

When you have driven him enough double and he be-
comes waywised and handy and you want to commence driv-
ing him single, it would be well as you come in from driving
him double to change the double for a single harness and
hitch him right up to your break cart, as he has probably by
this time got the wire edge and play out of him, and he will
go right off without any trouble.

In hitching single use for the first few times a kick strap,
as it is usually called, for safety only; but I want to say right
here, that the kicking strap in many cases does more harm
than good, causing an injury to the horse by not being prop-
erly adjusted. If it is put on too close to the roots of the
tail, when the horse raises his tail it may catch the skin be-
tween the strap and crouper and cause him to scringe as it
hurts, and he will attempt to kick, which he would never
have thought of if it had not been for the offensive strap.
If it is put too far in front it isno preventative, if he attempts

14 EVERY MAN HIS (OWN: TRAINER.

to kick. It should be put on about half way between the
roots of the tail and coupling, and fastened there so as to keep
it in its place; then buckle it loosely to the shafts of your
- break cart, so as to cause no unpleasant sensations when the
colt starts to move.

Give him now a short drive, not over two miles, in many
cases one mile would be better. It will be necessary for peo-
ple to use their own judgment ina measure, as my experience is
that many a colt has been spoiled by his being a little fractious,
and his owner says, I will give him enough to take it out of
him. He does take it out of him, and it never returns to the
colt, and many times we get the same result with an aged
horse. In fact there is only one way it ever will return, and
many times that fails—that is you must give him a long let
up and run to grass.

It will be better to hitch them twice, or even three times
in one day and make the drives short, and you will find you
will have a sound and a better horse when you get him
broken.

If when he is hitched he feels sharp and wants to go, let
him move off ata good smart gait, don’t hold him in and
irritate him or make his mouth sore by pulling him.

Don’t keep him in harness long enough to get tired ;
bring him in while he has something left in him; it will take
a little more time to break a colt in this way, but he has re-
ceived his education without injury or a broken heart.

Great care should be taken that they do not get foot-
sore by driving. If the toes begin to break up, or their feet
begin to get tender, put on a light shoe oratip. If a heavy
shoe is used the colt is liable to get leg weary and hit himself.
I favor tips on colts properly put on, as a protection around
the toe is all that is necessary for a colt or horse to prevent
injury with ordinary use. In putting on tips it should pass
about. two-thirds around the foot towards the heel, the toe
and side of the foot should be taken away as far as the tip
extends the thickness of the iron, the foot should be brought

EVERY MAN -HIS OWN TRAINER. 15

to a square gog at its juncture with the tip so that the foot
will be level and the bearing equal, that the frog and heel may
come to the ground. These may be used in front and behind
in the same manner, and should be made of steel or iron not
over one-eighth inch thick and half an inch in width. They
can be made lighter if you like.

The tip is necessary for many colts on its hind feet on
account of his scalping, as it is termed, so that you can use a
toe boot to protect the coronet, which is a very sensative part
of the foot. When a colt hits there a few times he begins to
hitch and hobble, and you will say I don’t know what ails my
colt, he is bad gaited ; when the fact is, it is caused by an in-
jury from hitting himself and having no protection.

CHAPTER MY.

How To HitcH Coutts To Roap Cart—How To DRrivr COLT THE FIRST
Frew TIMES—WHEN TO LET UP ON YOUR COLT—PROTECT WITH
BooTS—WINTER TREATMENT OF THE YEARLING COLT.

Now your colt is ready to hitch to a road cart to see if
you can develop any speed. The best cart is probably manu.
factured by Bradley & Co., of Syracuse, N. Y., a cut of which
in the back part of this work, with other specialties, is shown.
They have agents in most every town in the United States, if
no agent is near you, any order sent direct to the manufactory
would be honored at once. It is light and cheap, and I con-
sider them the best cart for the money in the market. Hitch
him far enough away from ‘the cart so that the hocks or tail
cannot hit the cross bar or dash, also have the britchen very
loose so he will have room to extend himself. If you are in
a village go up one street and down another, as the colt heads
towards the stable he will naturally be anxious to move along,
then let him go for a brush, say for twenty or thirty rods, not
to exceed forty. Then talk him back, not pull him; use a
light rein so as not to get his mouth sore; after going a few
rods slow, if he again desires to brush let him move along
about the same distance as before, and if he is fresh and not
tired, let him go around the block again and repeat as before.
If you are not in a town go up the road and head him towards
home; you should not in these first few lessons force him to
so at speed going away from home unless he is full of life and
spirits and wants to go, thus it would be much better to let
him have his head and move along than to pull him and take
him back, as there are no natural pullers, they are all learned
the trick by bad driving, heavy handed people, and is one of
the worst habits a horse ever acquired. A horse will learn it
easier than he can be broken of it. Why I speak of going
around the block or up the road is because I favor road work

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. WW,

instead of too much track work, as many get very sick of a
track, there is too much sameness about it, they want a change
of work and scenery. I would recommend in road work to
go different directions on alternate days. A yearling colt
should not be driven any day to exceed two miles, and in
many cases one mile would be better.

As soon as yon discover that your colt is getting a little
stale, that is dull and sour, let him up, stop working him. If
he is shod with full shoes remove them. so as to rest his feet
as well as otherwise. Let up on his grain about half if he is on
strong feed, as different horses require different feed to keep
them in condition, as well as different men require different
amounts of food to keep them in good health. If it is warm
weather give them a run to grass, say from one to three
weeks. I would prefer a short pasture to a flush of feed, as
he is liable to take on too much flesh. As soon as you see
your colt brighten up and show playfulness, it indicates that
he is rested out. I would prefer, when it is convenient, to
work him one day and the next let him run out in a paddock
or small pasture.

Many times colts do better to let them run out nights if
it is nice warm weather, in fact experiment—try first one way
and then another—some will do better shut up and some run-
ning out. It is well to humor a colt and work him according
to his temperament. Children do not all need the same treat-
ment to have them take kindly to their books, it is the same
with a colt, he may need a change from ordinary handling.

In the fall when his first season’s work is over in his
' yearling form, his shoes should be removed, See that his feet
are level and proper length, run a file around the sharp
edge so they will not peel or break up, and if his heels
are high lower them, as high heels are dangrous. The
foot is more apt to contract, and by letting the heel down it
throws the pressure upon the frog and keeps the heel spread
out and foot in proper form, It will be beneficial many times
to put some light irritant around the coronet, such as am-

monia and sweet oil, just strong enough to start a good
healthy growth of horn, that is if the foot does not seem to
be doing well. It may be a little hard and has stopped grow-
ing, but if it is healthy and doing well, let well enough alone.
Reduce his grain one-half; give him plenty of soft feed, fine
ships, carrots, etc., once or twice a day. If this should make
the colt’s bowels loose change to dry food, oats or corn, or
perhaps a few handfuls of wheat and plenty of good timothy
hay, in fact any of this is good to keep the colt growing, ac-
cumulating muscle, and in good heart. He should be loose
in a box stall of good size, say twelve to fifteen feet square,
with a paddock or small yard to run out in every pleasant
day, as we all know that man or beast must have good air and
sunlight to enjoy good health. In all cases the bow stall
must have good ventilation and plenty of light. The colt is
now in winter quarters, and he should be left idle for at least
three months.

In February or March, when your colt is two years old
or thereabouts, you better put on his shoes and commence to
give him moderate work, according to his ability. If he has
grown big and strong, is high in flesh and spirits, it will be
necessary to drive him to keep control of his flesh. Give
him from two to three miles’ drive twice a week, which may
be increased to three times a week after a short time. Drive
him either double or single, if double, remember to change
sides alternately—first on near side and then on off side—as
heretofore recommended. Do not give him any fast work
yet, if you please; jog him for at least three or four weeks be-
fore attempting to start him up, then let his brushes be short,
as I know that short, sharp work makes speed faster than
long slow or fast work and keeps a colt good-gaited. A horse
is always better by being short of work than he is if over-
worked. As the season advances, moderately increase the
work to every day, starting him up a little twice or three
times a week. Be sure and have the colt headed towards
home when you ask him to go, and he will move faster and
be more cheerful.

As you increase the work increase the feed; give soft
feed once a day—at night—and plenty of good timothy hay,
except on the morning of the day you expect to speed him,

20 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

that morning it would be advisable not to fill his stomach
with hay, wait until after he has had his work. As soon as
grass makes its appearance give him a bite every day, letting
him eat ten or fifteen minutes towards night after his work,
as many times grass will make a horse puff and blow if he has
it before he is speeded. Still it is acknowledged that Dr.
Grass is the best veterinary we can many times employ. Now
your colt is ready to work on the track, if you have one con-
venient, if not, select a good smooth piece of road and prepare
it as well as you can, free from stone, and keep it soft if pos-
sible. When you commence to speed him, I prefer a descend
of ground so as to take the weight off the colt, as many times
a colt’s gait is spoiled by drawing too much weight. One
way to avoid that is to select a very light speeding cart,
weight not over eighty pounds, as most of the road carts in
use are too heavy to speed a colt to, or aged horse. Bradley
& Co., of Syracuse, also manufacture one of the best made
and finest speeding cart in the market.

The colt should be moved hitched to cart two or .three
times a week, at first from forty to fifty rods, after two weeks
extend the distance to one-fourth of a mile, if you find this
tires him, shorten up the distance again. After two weeks
more repeat him, that is, speed him over that distance twice
in one day. Great care should be taken to keep the colt’s
mouth from getting sore. Iam favorable to using a leather
bit, as more ‘horses like it better than any other bit Tever
used. I never have known a horse to get a sore mouth from
a leather bit, but of course some horses will not drive well .
with them. If not, use a snafle or bar bit, as suits your horse
best. See that your harness is well fitted and suits the colt ;
see that your check suits him; many horses do not like an
overdraw, some will not go without them. If he should not
go well with an overdraw, the next time you go out put a com-
mon side check on him, with or without check bit, try both
ways; be sure and drive him with a light hand; if your colt
breaks don’t be harsh with him, learn him to catch well.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. Zi

‘Speak to him to go on; hold the reins lightly, take him
straight back to you first and speak gently—whoa, boy—so
that the colt may know what you want of him. If it is nec-
essary to use the whip on him tap him lightly, not go under
his flank and punish him, the noise of the whip also frightens
him; perhaps it would take months to get him over it, as I
know by sad experience when I had Lysander Boy—2:20%—
in the early part of his training I hit him a smart blow with
the whip for a bad break, and it frightened him so much that
it was more than three months before I was able to gain his
confidence again. Whenever I would make a quick move
with the reins he would jump and break and act frightened,
in fact he did not get over it until I removed the blinds and
drove him without a whip so that he could see that I was not
going to hurt him.

I would learn every colt or horse to drive with and with
out blinds or winkers.

After tapping him with the whip and taking him back
straight, if he don’t catch, pull him a little to the right or to
the left, and speak gently to him; if he don’t catch tap him
a little again with the whip or chirp to him to keep him up to
the bit, but not under any circumstances give him a short
jerk or snath, as it is called in horse talk, for that will irritate
or frighten him and he will not try to catch.

As soon as he gets squared away on a trot it would be
well to chirp or speak to him to go on, and at the same time
take a little more hold of his mouth, so as to steady him until
he gets fairly on his gait and then ease away, but do not force
him to a break if yeu can possibly avoid it.

When he has made a nice brush, take him back before
he gets tired and wants to come back himself; that keeps
your colt in high courage and cheerful, and he is ready to go
any time you may ask him, instead of driving and forcing him
until he gets tired or breaks again, for that will make him re-
luctant and sour and he will not try to go. A colt will soon
learn and appreciate kindness as well as a person,

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

After this work take your colt in, unharness him, sponge’
out his mouth, nose and eyes with nice fresh water; give
him a few swallows of the same, cover him lightly, scrape and
rub the water out if he is warmed up much. Give his legs a
light rubbing ; be sure and keep him out of any draft. It is
better to be out in the field or street than to be standing be-
tween two open doors or windows, Walk him about in the
air gently, give him a few mouthfuls of grass if convenient ;.
also give him a little more water and a little more rubbing
until he is cooled out. I do not believe in much rubbing for
a colt for it is apt to get them sore, cross and pevish.

When he is properly cooled out, brush him out nicely,
and if the legs are dirty, from either mud or dust, wash them
clean with soft water with the chill taken off; pick out the
feet and wash them nicely, and if he has had stiff work, use
some kind of wash. Witch hazel and arnica, with camphor
gum added to it, is my favorite.

Extract witch hazel, two gallons; tincture of

ay arnica, six ounces; camphor gum, three ounces ;

cut the gum with alcohol before adding to witch hazel and
arnica.

This may be rubbed over the shoulders, loins and
muscles. Then throw a blanket over him so he will steam
out.. It will sweat the soreness out if there isany. Bathe
the legs down to the feet with the same, then put on a light
derby or flannel bandage.

If the ankles are chapped or any roughness of the skin,
it would be well to run the bandage down to the hoof. That
will sweat the ankles and keep the air from them and remove
the soreness and prevent them chapping badly; leave them
on, say two hours. At night it would be well to pack his feet
if it is dry, hot weather, two to three times a week with com-
mon clay, wet up so it is pliable; flll the bottom of the foot ;
put it well up around the quarters so that it will draw the
fever out if there is any. It will not do any harm any-
way to leave it in over night. In the morning pick it out clean

and wash the foot ; then give him a walk while the dew is on
the grass, as it is a grand thing to soften the foot. If this is
not his speeding day Jet him have a little grass, as this is a
grand thing for a horse, especially one that is a little delicate
about feeding, as you will see he will come in and eat his
breakfast with a good relish.

I have had many a good horse, when in training, that
would not eat his morning feed until he had his walk, a little
fresh air, and a bite of grass. After his breakfast brush him
out nicely and give him his jog if he needs any work that
day.

In their two-year-old form every other day is sufficient
many times to jog them. Others may require a little work
every day if they are big, strong and healthy and full of life
and spirits.

Many colts do better to lead them behind a cart, keeping
the harness off and bit out of their mouth. If you should
decide to try leading, take a long halter stale and a light,
strong stick eight to ten feet long, put a hole in one end of it,
put a short strap with a buckle and billet on it so you can
buckle it into the ring of the halter. Then the man leading
the colt can take both strap and stick in his hand; the stick
keeps the colt from injury by running up against the cart or
wheel. It would be well to have a ring in the other end of
the stick to pass your halter stale through, so if you ac-
cidentally drop the stick the strap will hold it up and prevent
an accident. By the use of this stick you should keep the
colt well back away from the cart so he can see where he is
traveling and thus prevent any stumbling or blunder.

With a valuable colt I would recommend a knee pad in
leading, which is made on purpose to protect the front part of
the knee, for if he should make a misstep and hit his knee
cap it would be a very serious accident, as it is hard to heal
and liable to scar more than any other place on a horse.

Now, if the colt has any engagements in Breeders’ stakes
or otherwise, and we decide to go to the track with him, the

24. EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

first thing to be looked to is to see that he is properly shod
and balanced on his feet. I favor useinga shoe as light as
possible, which balances and keeps your colt pure gaited and
on atrot. There is hardly two horses that want shoeing just
alike; some colts want a good deal of weight to get them
going.

Wonderful improvements have been made with the use
of toe weights, but they are used many times when they are
a detriment to the horse. Experimenting with them is the
only test. Many times a horse will go better with the weight
on the bottom of the foot—all of it in the shoe—and others
will improve faster with a pound weight—twelve ounces of it
in the shoe and four ounces ina toe weight. Some require
more weight thanthat. I have known a four-year-old who
carried a one and one-half pound shoe and a one and one-half
pound toe weight on each foot, and he could not go a bit with-
out them for some time; that weight seemed to get him
going, so that in a short time he went without any toe weight.
When I campaigned him through the Grand Circuit I used a
nineteen ounce shoe on him and no toe weight, trotting him
two mile heats. That horse was Amber; record, 4:52, two
miles, and 2:25, one-mile. He could trot in 2:20. So you
can see that wonderful improvements have been made by the
use of toe weights.

I want to impress on you that in my experience many
horses can, after they are gaited, leave off their toe weights,
and they will go faster, further and stay sound longer.

Many colts or horses when you first go out to work them
are a little high strung, or are double-gaited, that is, are in-
clined to pace. It would be well to use a toe weight the first
heat, after that remove your weight or lighten it. If you are
useing a four ounce, put on a two ounce or remove it alto-
gether, and many times you will find your colt going much
better, that is faster, without the weight than with it.

If you are preparing your colt fora race, great care should
be used not to give him too much work, that is not to give

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 25

him too many trials. Leave your watch at home, jog him as
short a distance as will do, and be ready at any time if he
wants to brush out to give him his head and let him step
along for a short distance. As I have said before, take him
back just before he is ready to come back himself. Jog him
from one and one-half to two miles, the reverse way of the
track. In many cases one mile is enough. Then turn him
the right way of the track and go away from the wire at a
moderate rate of speed, and if you are going a half mile let
him go the first quarter well within himself, then let him com-
mence to move faster, and increase his speed all the way to
the wire. The last fifteen or twenty rods drive him along,
which will learn him to finish well. If you are going to drive
him a mile, let him go easy the first half, then commence to
let him move along, increase his speed, but do not urge him
to his utmost limit until he is well up into the stretch, say on
the last eighth of the mile, then force him along from there
to the wire. By using a colt this way, you will find when ina
race or trial, though he is tired when he strikes into the
stretch, he will struggle at his utmost, increasing his speed
every stride until he passes the wire.

Do not take your watch with you more than once a week,
and then hold it on him the last quarter only. Do not go to
the track with your colt more than twice a week, and one of
those two days give him an easy mile or half mile, as your race
may be, with asharp brush at the finish. The other day give him
arepeat. First give him an easy half or mile, as you may be
working him. Unhitch, remove the harness, take off
his boots, sponge him thoroughly—mouth, nose and
eyes. Scrape the water out of him, rub him out with
nice clean cloths, made of salt sacks, which I think is
the best material. Wipe the water out of him _ nicely,
but not too much, give his legs a light rubbing with the
cloths, throw a light blanket over him if it is warm. if
cool, a heavy one. Give him a few swallows of water, then
walk him about for fifteen or twenty minutes, then straighten

his hair out again with the rub cloths, put his boots and har-
ness on, hitch him to the sulky, go out and jog him the re-
verse of the track, say half a mile, then turn him, let him go
moderately well within himself the first quarter, then com-
mence to increase his speed gradually. to the half-mile pole,
and then a little faster the balance of the mile; but be sure
and have a reserve of speed left for the final brush at the
wire,

Watch him carefully all the time to see that he goes level;
if he attempts to break, many times a gentle word, as “Whoa,
boy,” and a little tightening of the reins at the same time,
will correct matters, and as soon as he squares away, ease away
on the reins and cluck or speak to him, it will make him go
faster and more cheerful than before, as it gives him con-
fidence to speak to him and take him back a little at times.
It also gives him courage. My idea is to give the colt a
change from so much sameness, as constant urging and forc-
ing him along. When through with this take him to the
stable, remove boots, harness, etc., cool him out as before, do
not take him ina hot, close stall, you might better do this. un-
der a tree or in the shade of a building than to do it in the
stable where you have open:doors and windows, and there-
by get a draft through, which would be bad for your colt.
After you have got him sponged and rubbed out, throw a
blanket on him, bathe the soles of his feet with nice, fresh
water if the weather is hot and the track is dry. Then walk
him out until he has cooled out nicely, giving him a few swal-
lows of water occasionally; bring him in and brush him out,
not too much, however; give his legs a light rubbing, bathe
his shoulders, back and legs with the wash heretofore men-
tioned ; put on your derby bandages dry. If your colt’s legs
are inclined to puff or are gummy, use a linen bandage wet in
cold water; put the rolled bandages in a pail of tepid soft
water, wring them outas well as possible with your hands and
run them on and leave them until they get dry; then when
you take them off you will find his legs cool and nice, having

been greatly benefited by this treatment. Towards night
walk him out for an airing; let him eat grass ten or fifteen
minutes; then put him in and give him his supper and bid
him good night. This meal should be of soft feed, say fine
ships, wet up with cold water with a handful of salt in it;
this will keep his bowels open and cooled out and in good
condition for his work next time.

I do not approve of hot mashes when a horse is well.
When a horse is sick, it is many times necessary to give him
a hot mash to steam out his head and throat and warm him
up in case of a bad cold or other sickness; but when a horse
is well, let well enough alone. I have had horses in good
health which became sick, that is to say, took cold from the
steam and heating propensities of a hot mash; it opened the
pores and they contracted a cold on their next exposure to a
colder temperature or on giving them a drive. Throw away
hot mashes, soaking tubs and blanket sweats, for they have
been proved an injury and have been abandoned by all
first-class trainers for years. It is well enough if a horse is
high in flesh and his neck heavy, so as to effect his breathing,
to use a short hood, say half way down his neck; drive him
two or three miles and his neck will sweat freely ; then re-
move it, scrape out the water and dry his neck out. This
should not be used only for a short, sharp drive, as I have
known a horse that was given a long drive with a heavy hood
on to scald his mane and cause it to drop out. Twice a week
is often enough to use the sweat hood. When you do use it,
select a warm, pleasant day, and not a cold day, as you would
not get much sweat, and it'would expose your horse and he
would be liable to take cold from it.

If you have a horse with a large amount of flesh on the
ribs which you must remove quickly on account of a neces-
sary hurried preparation, take two salt sacks, sew one end to-
gether, wet it in soft rain water, wrap it around the body be-
tween the hip and shoulder; over that put a-large, heavy
woolen blanket, folded about the width of the salt sack, pin

28 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

it around the body ; put another ordinary stable blanket over
that ; keep it on your horse, in the stall, from one to one and
ahalf hours. You will find you have removed more flesh
than you could have done with a ten-mile drive on the road
or track, and have also saved the feet and legs of your horse.
This may be also used on any part of the body or neck with
good success.

As your colt gets more muscle and strength his work
may be gradually increased, but remember at all times to drive
your colt within himself, as that keeps up his courage and de-
sire to do better, whereas, if you drive him to his full speed
every time you work him, he will soon become tired and dread
to go to the track. I have seen colts and horses that would
act as though they would rather jump down a well than go
inside the track gates; if at the same time you drive them
off on the road they would go and act well, in fact, act
natural, when, if you should track them that day they would
act sour, break, and many times be almost unmanageable. I
would advise, if at any time your colt seems reluctant to go
on the track, to keep away from there for a few days, perhaps
a week, give him his work on the road. I have seen horses
go better than they ever did before when there had been
three or four days of rainy weather, so it was impossible to
get them on the track or hardly out of the stable; perhaps
they had a little walk under the shed only during the time.
In order to prove this argument is correct, that too much track
work is sometimes a damage, I will cite an experience I had
with the chestnut horse Bonner, record 2:23, and Great East-
ern, record 2:181, in the “year 1874. “Eugene “Root yor
Syracuse, N. Y., had Black Frank, record 2:20, afterwards given
to him by me, and Norwood, record 2:30, owned by S. B.
Larned, of Syracuse; Amos Gillett was on his staff as man-
ager of these two horses. We were both preparing for the
Grand Circuit on the same track, but in different stables. My
horses were rather high in flesh; Amos used to remark that
they looked more like market horses than trotters. We both

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 29

intended to enter our horses at Poughkeepsie, but were in
different classes. The day the entries closed Amos instructed
his trainer, Root, to go out and give his horses three heats
each, about to the limit of their speed, useing his usual say-
ing, “ They will never learn to trot unless you trot them.”
Root done as ordered. As I remember, Black Frank went
three heats from 2:26 to 2:28; Norwood’s three heats close to
2:30. I gave my horses three heats each. I gave Bonner the
first heat in 2:40, second heat in 2:36, and third heat in 2:33.
Great Eastern was then a new beginner and had never yet ap-
peared in the Grand Circuit. I gave him his first heat in
2:40, second heat in 2:39, and third heat in 2:36. We both en-
tered our horses that evening. When our horses appeared on
the track at the tap of the bell at Poughkeepsie, Mr. Gillett
sat in the Grand Stand, and a gentleman asked him ‘ What
Feek had?” Amos replied, “That is Bonner, he is a good
horse, but he is too high in flesh; he has not had any work,
and cannot trot a race out.” I won my race, in which we
trotted four hard heats, and gave Bonner a record of 2:24.
Black Frank started in another class the same day, and was
in the pink essence of condition, as Mr. Gillett called it—low
in flesh and ready to trot for a man’s life; but he did not get
any of the money. I, with Great Eastern, started in another
class the next day and won my race in three straight heats,
giving Great Eastern a record of 2:30. Norwood started the
same day in another class in equally as good condition as Black
Frank, and as I remember, got fourth money. Later in the
meeting I started my horses in faster classes and got second
money in each of them. Mr. Gillett started both of his
again, but got no money. Many like circumstances in my ex-
perience proves the theory correct that horses are better short
of work than overworked when they start out for the money,
and that is what we are all looking for.

The next year, 1875, I started Great Eastern at Roch-
ester, August 11. William Sanders, one of the old school-
practice horsemen, came in the stable and said to my groom,

30 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

Tom King, “Is he not too high in flesh ? he looks more likea
coach horse than a trotter.” That was the day of the race
that will long be remembered by the horsemen of America.
It was the East against the West. Great Eastern carried the
banner of the East, and Elsie Good the flag of the West.
The Western delegation said Great Eastern was a big lobster
and no good; he was seventeen hands and one and one-half
inches high, and weighed, in high flesh, thirteen hundred
pounds. He stepped it off in one, two, three order, gettinga
record of 2:19, and some of the Western delegation had to
walk home.

There was in the class Hannah D., 2:221; Elsie Good,
; Jack Draper, 2:27; Levinski,.2:251; Nellie Walton,
; Mazomania, 2:201; Bateman, 2:22; Phil. Sheridan,
64; Ella Madden, 2.252; Grey Chief, 2:243, and Great
Eastern, who had a record at that time of 2:283.
Elsie Good had won at Cleveland and Buffalo. The

West had made up their mind she was invincible in her class,

JH tee whe

consequently she was an immense favorite in the pool box.
Some of the delegation came to Dan Mace, who had Nellie
Walton in the same race, and agreed to divide all purse and
pool money with us if we would agree to not interfere with
Elsie Good, that is to get in her way or impede her stride, not
thinking that either of us could beat her. They had a pot of
money in the pool box and wanted to protect it, as we term
it, in fact they had persuaded me that she was a world-beater,
as I had not at that time-seen her trot, consequently I was
willing to do business, thinking a half a loaf was better than
none. In coming down for the word, Elsie scored like a train
of cars. Mace’s mare did not act very well and I did not
show up much with Great Eastern. Mace and myself were
informed by the Western delegation that we were no good
and that we were out of the play; if we got anything we
‘ would have to help ourselves to it. I talked with some of
them and tried to have them give us some of it as it was late
and we had no money in the box. I had by this time found

out my horse was good, but did not want to show up until
later on in the next week, and so informed them, but they
said ‘“‘ No, not a cent; go help yourself. The judges became
tired of the delay and called out to us, “Go up there and
come down.or we will send them off without you.” We
went up and came down and got the word, and I was up in
a little better place than I was in any of the other scores.
Going around the turn Hannah D. had the lead, Elsie Good
second, with Gus Glidden driving her, I was third. My mind
was fixed, I preferred any horse to win except Elsie Good, as
I was considerably riled up over the breach of contract. As
we turned into the back side Elsie Good passed Hannah D.,
and I followed suit, and we were at the half-mile pole in 1:09.
Great Eastern was at Elsie Good’s head, and I being a little
angry, said to Glidden, her driver, ‘That his mare could not
go a bit,” and stepped along by her and won the heat easy in
9:19. Then there was a terrible howl and hurrah; the
judges made a mistake at first in hanging out the time as
2:91. Alden Goldsmith rushed out of the Grand Stand, walk-
ing almost over peoples’ heads, very excited, calling out, “ That
is not right, the time is 2:19,” and the judges on looking saw
their mistake and put out the correct time, 2:19. That started
another howl—2:19 for that big lobster. The Western dele-
gation said that heat will do him, he won't come again to-
day; but he did, and won the next heat in 2:21 ina jog.
Then the Western people began to get a little nervous, think-
ing, perhaps, they had the last look at their money.
They sent Frank Herdic, the pool seller, to see me, and pro-
posed to give me $2,000 to let Elsie win. I said “No; I will
not let her win for all that is in sight of me just now, for I
have got them in over their heads, and I want to drown
them right where they are; then, perhaps, they will do as
they agree next time.’”’ You could see many a long face on
the quarter stretch, and some of the friends of the mare
thought Glidden could not drive her, so they put Sant Wil-
son, a half owner of her, up, but the result was the same, as I

beat her easy in 2:21$. Then it was amusing to hear the
arguments between the old man Wilson and his son as they
laid on the grass in the shade of a tree. The old man would
say, “If you had done as I wanted to, we would have plenty
of money for this race.” The son would respond in about
the same words, and I don’t know but they are quarreling yet
over it; but that did not get their money back.

I will give you an example of conditioning these two
horses, as they were both of different temperaments and re-
quired different treatment. Great Eastern was delicate anda
light feeder, although he was so large ahorse. He would not
eat more than ten or twelve quarts of oats a day and a little
wheat or corn, and not more than one pint of that. He re-
quired but little work as he always had his speed. I had my
man jog him on the road to wagon five or six miles a day and
not faster than a four or five mile an hour gait, rarely starting
the sweat on him in his work. I gave him plenty of grass
each day, except the days I was going to speed him. That
was twice a week. Tuesday was the first day as I never make
it a practice to work a horse on Sunday. That day he was
idle. Monday he would get his road work, Tuesday I gave him
a mile and repeat, a heat in 2:40, another in 2:35. On Friday
he would get three or four heats, if sharp and strong, four, if
not, only three, commencing at 2:40, next heat 2:35; if only
three heats that day the third heat would be 2:27 or 2:28, not
any faster. If I was giving him four heats the third would be
9:32, fourth heat 2:27 or-2:28. Then at night I would give
him a mash and wash his legs and feet with nice luke-warm
water, pack his feet with clay, spoken of before, and also give
him all the good timothy hay he could eat. I never put a
muzzle on or had a sweat hood on him but once while I had
him. This wasa horse that sort of conditioned himself. As
I said, he always had his speed and only required work enough
to’"keep up his muscle. If he was worked stiff and given fast
miles he would lose his flesh and appetite and be no good.
He always wanted to feel well to trot. I used to tell Tom

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 33

King to bring him to me on his hind legs and then he would
be fit to trot for a man’s life. When he went out of my hands
he was worked entirely different. In his repeats they gave
them to him faster than I did. As the boys term it they tried
to break the watch and consequently he was no good. He
got low in flesh and spirits and could not trot better than to
2:27 or 2:28. During a trip down the Grand Circuit in 1877
he came into my hands again at Buffalo. I commenced my
usual way of training him, that is to say, let him alone, for
about a week or ten days; did not drive him a mile better
than 2:40 until two days before I started him at Utica, which
was the second week after he came into my hands again. He
trotted in a race there against Rarus, 2:184, and Lucille Gold-
dust, 2:163, and trotted in 2:174, timed separate. I kept him
six weeks. He gained sixty-five pounds of flesh in that time
and got a record of 2:153 to saddle, the fastest to date. He
now went out of my hands and in two or three weeks could
not trot a mile in 2:25 to saddle.

Bonner was very different. Hewasaglutton; would eat
three pecks of oats a day if given to him and twenty-five
pounds of hay; consequently I had to keep at him all the
time, that is to say, give him plenty of strong work and sweat
his neck often to keep the flesh down. I had to put ona
muzzle as soon as he had eat his feed or he would fill him-
self so full that he could not go a bit. He was a good race
horse and dead game. Should there come a few days of bad
weather just before a race so I could not give him plenty of
work, empty him out and get him in condition, when I started
him in the race if I gave him a stiff heat first he would quit the
third heat as bad as any horse I ever saw; but if I would let
him go the first heat easy, he would then empty himself and
get ready to trot as good a race as you would ask of any horse
and fight it out game to the bitter end. I don’t like such a
cross feeder as well as one that is a little delicate, as I have
had better luck with horses who people call poor feeders, as
they are more apt to be ona feather edge. Horses that re-

34 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

quire so much stiff work to keep down flesh is apt to lose
their speed, and, as I said before, wear their legs out getting
their body in condition.

I hope the reader will excuse me for my long digression
on the subject of these two horses, but it was for your good
to impress the fact that my theory of light work makes our
best and fastest horses. When I get a horse that requires
working to death in getting him into condition, I want to send
him home as soon as possible, as he will be no credit to me or
benefit to his owner.

Now, we will return to the subject of developing our
colt. As the time draws near for the stake race, say two
weeks previous to his engagement, and your colt has had
plenty of work so as to reduce his flesh, and he is in what we
say good condition and has learned to go a mile or haif mile,
as his race may be, it will be well to learn him a little about
scoring, and in this it is best to have a horse with him that is
easy controlled—one that you can take back without any
trouble or start up quickly. Go up the stretch to the usual
place of turning to come to the score. Let the colt move off
ahead the first time in scoring, next time let the other horse
take the lead. Don’t rush him, but let him go away well
within himself, being careful not to frighten him soas to make
him break. Score him up to the pole first then on the out-
side—this will give you an idea where he goes the best. Do
not score them more than five or six times, perhaps less would
be better; be sure to not over do the matter and get your
colt tired or discouraged. You will find that with a horse to
accompany him he will learn more in one day than you could
teach him in a week alone. If you think necessary, you can
practice this every other day. Some colts learn to score very
quickly, others do not, and consequently require more of it.
Be very careful about turning around; do not let them turn
too quick, as a wheel might turn under or they might catch
a foot and frighten them ; also be careful about pulling them
up at the turn; it is always well to speak “Whoa” to them

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 38

before taking them back. You can save or take a good deal
out of a horse in scoring them. Learn them that when you
say “ Whoa” it means stop without shutting their wind off
by hard pulling to make them stop. Do not turn them
around every time at the same place; sometimes stop them
soon after passing the wire, other times let them go well
around the turn, then they will cultivate the habit of keeping
up their clip until the word ““ Whoa” is spoken, and will not
stop with you after you get the word.

After you have learned him to score sufficiently I would
advise letting him up in work, jog him easily on the road, and
twice or three times a week, according to how he feels, brush
him through the stretch so as to keep him open and sharp;
perhaps the scoring will be all he needs. You will have a
better colt than you would if you had kept up his stiff work
until the day of his race. Remember when the day of your
race arrives and you start that you have a colt not an old
horse and treat him accordingly. He won’t bear smashing
around the track in his preliminary, as we see many a colt
trot his race before the word go is given. Take him out forty
minutes before the bell rings, jog him out easily, step him
along a half or a mile as your race may be. I would say if
your colt can trot in 2:40 give hima half or mile at the rate
of 3:20; then take him in, unharness him, remove his boots,
sponge him out,—in fact cool him out as you have done be-
fore when working him. When the bell rings put on your
boots and harness and go out. You will then find your colt
ready to step off a good heat for you without many prelimi-
naries Or warming up. You have learned whether your colt
will get on his stride in going a short distance or whether he
requires a long score to straighten him out. It will be well to
turn your colt and let him come up by the stand once before
starting. That will open him out and he will be ready to go
up and turn and come down with his field of horses. Do not
annoy the judges or people by scoring up way ahead or be-
hind, but come up in your place as near as youcan, That

36 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

will keep the stand good natured and you will get from the
judges all that belongs to you during the race. Otherwise, if
you annoy them by trying to get the advantage in going away
or not coming for the word unless you have the best of it,
they will not feel like giving you the benefit of adoubt. When
you get the word don’t be ina hurry to win the heat around
the first turn. Keep your colt well in hand and see that: you
have good clear sailing; do not get in any one’s way and do
not let them get in yours if you can help it, so as to interfere
with your colt and get him off his stride into a break. Re-
member, there is no money at the quarter or half mile pole.
When you get around the turn into the back stretch, if your
colt is on his stride and going smooth move him along. Be
ready to take advantage of any break made by the other
horses and keep your colt steady and on a trot, and do not
force him until you get into the stretch near the finish, Then
if necessary take hold of your colt and drive him, as the boys
say, for dear life. With this management if you do not win
the heat you will not have taken the heart out of your horse
and he will be ready to go the next heat better than this one,
as it is safe to say he has more left than if he had been driven
from wire to wire, as the first heat usually tells more on a
horse than any other heat of his race.

We will suppose your race is over, and whether he has
trotted a good or poor race, it would be well to remove his
shoes and let him alone for two or three days; turn him ina
paddock or small field, night and morning, if you have one;
if not, walk him out and give him plenty of grass; then put
on his shoes and commence his work as before. When you
have jogged him two or three days go on the track and you
will find you have a better horse by several seconds than you
had the day of the race. For I think a race, if not too hard,
does a young horse a great amount of good, as they will learn
more in one race than they will in a month’s training. For
instance, the first good race Lysander Boy, 2:203, trotted for
me was at Lyons, N. Y., July 4th, 1877. I had trotted him a

EVERY MAN HIs OWN TRAINER. 37

stiff race the week before at Ithaca, N. Y., and it was tight
work for him to trot in 2:30. I done very little with him dur-
ing the week, and at Lyons he trotted against the stallion
Damon, 2:234, and Versales Girl, 2:254. Lysander Boy at
that time had a record of 2:32. We wanted to start him in
the Grand Circuit and desired to keep him eligible in the
2:30 class. On moving him in the morning I found I had a
good horse, and I labored very hard with Van Ness, the
driver, and Mr. Holdrige, the owner of Damon, who had made
a record in New York the week before of 2:27, to divide the
purse with us and have an easy race, but they did not think
us worth it,so I went to the officers of the association and
said, ‘‘ You have a good crowd here to-day, and it being the
opening day of your track you naturally want a good race.”
Alex. Tower replied, “ Yes, that is just what we want,” and
said, “‘ Jack, what do you want?” I replied, “‘I want to ‘re-
main in the 2:30 class.” After consulting with the other off-
cers, he said, “ Jack, go on, we will protect you.” We did
go on; I won the first heat in 2:27; Versailes Girl won the
second in 2:30; Lysander Boy the third in 2:24, and the fifth
in 2:25, hands down. The Lyons track was a new half-mile
ring, and this was the first race trotted overit. I didnot give
or take a dollar and gave them a first-class exhibition.

This is not the only case, as I could mention numerous
colts and horses that have done the same thing in acquiring
speed. This was not the first surprise this horse had given
me, as he had developed wonderful speed in a few days when
I got him properly balanced on his feet by shoeing. I had
probably shod him twenty different ways before I got him
right. I found when he was right I had a trotter. He was a
horse of a good deal of action in front, big gaited and went
very close behind, almost one foot over the other, and hit his
shins very hard so as to make him hitch and hobble and break
after going a little way at speed. In shoeing him I used a
thin but good width of web in front, weighing six ounces, and
behind a shoe weighing one pound, with most all the weight

38 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

on the outside. The shoe was very long, especially on the
outside, and had a good heel and toe calk, would say about
like a mud calk. Up to this time 2:383 was the best mile I
was ever able to drive him and I had worked hima year and
a half. The owners had several chances to sell him at a good
advance on what he cost, but I urged them to keep him as I
thought I could see more in him than.he had ever shown us.
I used to say to Pendy, ““He is not’ balanced.” _Hiemweplied:|
“Will you. ever get him balanced?” -J said,“ Weseherwall
make a trotter yet, and A No. 1,” and proved it. Within ten
days from the time I got him shod properly he went out and
stepped off a mile over the old Messina Springs track in 2:32}
and repeated in 2:273$. He was always a trotter from that
time on and got his share of the money as long as he staid on
the turf. When he retired he was credited with a large bank
account, and I sold him to Wm, H. Vanderbilt for $10,000,
which was a large price in those days. He drove him four
years on the road, and never was beaten to a sleigh and very
rarely toa wagon. He trotted several times over Fleetwood
track to pole in 2:20—some days on the near and other days
on the off side. He was as you see a sort of a go-as-you-
please horse when he was once balanced and had confidence
that he was not going to hurt himself. When I sold him to
Mr. Vanderbilt and was going to hitch with Small Hopes, the
greatest pole horse in the world, to show him, he asked me
“Which side:shall -I hitch him on?” I said’ ““Eitherssider
give Small Hopes his side and Lysander Boy will take the
other.” I tell you this to illustrate my instruction in the first
part of this work to learn a colt to work on either side of a
pole when breaking him. We hitched them together and Mr.
Vanderbilt drove them, and he gave me Arthur Boy, a road
horse, to drive single, we went up the road as far as
Sibins’ across the bridge. Those days the trotting ground
was down the grade by Judge Smith’s, where the; crowd
always stood to see the flyers come. When we left Sibins’ on
our return I started ahead. Vanderbilt overtook me on the

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 39

trotting ground. I set Arthur Boy going as well as he could,
but Vanderbilt passed me as though I was hitched to a post,
When he got right in front of Judge Smith’s and the crowd,
he set them going for all they were worth, and they just flew
for a few strides, and Small Hopes broke, greatly to the sur-
prise of Mr, Vanderbilt, for he had never been hitched with a
horse before that had carried him to a break; in fact, he

never saw Small Hopes break before.” I replied, ‘‘ He must
have stepped in a hole or hit himself, as they did not seem to
be going very fast.” He said, “What! Not going fast! I
thought they were flying!” And they were, but I thought I
would let him say it instead of myself. I suggested for him
to go back up the grade and try them again, perhaps they
would do better. He done so. They came down there like
runaway horses. When they got in front of Judge Smith’s
Small Hopes broke again, and apparently Mr. Vanderbilt
could not understand it; but I guess he did, for he was not
long in writing his check and handing it to me for $10,000.
That was proof to me that he thought Lysander Boy the bet-
ter horse, as he often told me afterwards that he was the best
all-round horse, single and double, he ever owned up to that
time.

I will give you another circumstance which occurred in
this sale which illustrates the point that it is impossible to tell
for certain the age of a horse by his mouth, even when young,
and the smartest and best posted men may err in this direc-
tion. When Mr. Vanderbilt handed me his check he said:
“Are you not mistaken, Mr. Feek, on the age of Lysander
Boy in stating he is eight years old?”’ I told him no, for that
was his correct age. ‘“ Well,’ he says, “you are the first man
I ever knew in selling an aged horse to give his years more
than they are. I have had Mr. Liautard, the veterinary who

40 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

is at the head of the profession, examine him and he pro-
nounces him seven years old only and is willing to stake
$1,000 if he ever made a wager that he is correct,’”’ when the
fact was Lysander Boy was nearer nine years old than he was
eight at the time. Of course 1 made no argument as I was
satisfied if he was. But I know the horse’s age almost to a
day.

To return to the colt. If in his two-year-old form he
don’t show much speed but is good-gaited and stays sound
and has an expectation of speed, as he came froma family of
speed producers, let him up‘in the fall, (say until snow falls, if
you are in the North). Then put your shoes on and com-
mence to use him, as I have had young horses improve faster
toa sleigh than any other way. The change of scenery, soft-_
ness of the snow path, lightness of the weight, as a sleigh runs
easy, difference in the shoeing,as you have to use a calk many
times well sharpened. I have had them improve more in a
month on the snow than in three months on the road or track.
In the case of the bay horse Wm. Kearney, record now 2:203,
I bought him about July 1st, he was partly broken to harness,
and was four years old, I finished breaking him and drove
him considerable ; he showed no speed, that is to say, not bet-
ter than a four-minute gait. About the last of August I
turned him out, and it being a nice warm fall, I let him run
until about the middle of November, when I brought him in,
put his shoes on and commenced to use him. In about two

42 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

weeks we had nice sleighing and he commenced to show speed
right away. In about six weeks, eight at most, he could beat a
2:30 horse down the street, tosleighs. In fact, early in the spring
following, about the first time I tried to drive him, he went a
mile over a slow half-mile track in 2:33. The average differ.
ence in time by different horses between a half-mile and a
mile track is from three to five seconds. He would have
made a great horse that year only for an attack of pink eye,
and I did not do much with him; turned him out and let him
run until fall; took him up and used him through the winter,
and he could beat any horse in our city to sleigh, and has in
fact, been the boss of the road ever since. . Phe mextesume
mer I gave him a record of 2:241. This-is to show that
different horses require different treatment for developing
speed.

In giving a horse fast work in the winter, if he is heavy
coated, of course you will have to ¢lip him, and when he
comes in straighten his hair, wipe the water out of him if
he is sweating, and if he is clipped of course you will have to
use one extra blanket, a wraper, that is, a square blanket, and
you should have two ordinary stable blankets; but if not |
clipped, one wrapper is sufflcient. Put it well up around his
neck and pin or buckle with strap if so arranged; use two
girts, one in its natural place, the other about half way from
the shoulder to the hips. These clothes should be put on as
soon as you can get his hair straightened after his drive and
not removed until the next morning, so the cold air will not
strike him until he is thoroughly cooled out. Rub his head
and ears dry if possible. Be sure and get his ears dry and at
the same time have a man drying his legs out. Now apply a
little of the wash heretofore mentioned to his legs; then roll
on a pair of derby or flannel bandages, not putting them on
very tight. If your stable is a cold one+that is, no fire in it—
leave the bandages on over night. By doing this the horse
won’t have any chill or take any cold. Stablemen don't like
this treatment; they want to strip him after an hour or two

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 43

and brush him out, as he will look better in the morning, but
it is much better for your horse to let him alone when you
once get him done up. Then in the morning give him his
usual grooming.

I will mention the bay mare, Flora F., record, 2:241. I
bought her as a yearling solely on her pedigree, as she was
well bred and prospective speed, was all I had to depend
upon. I broke her the winter when she was coming two years
old, which I consider the proper time to break a colt to har-
ness. They should not be let go longer than that, as they
are so much easier broken at that age before they get big and
strong. It is not necessary to work them, but give them les-
sons single and double, and they will not forget it even if you
let them run fora year after that. Flora F. had always paced
in the lot, but when I commenced breaking her she struck
out ona trot, would occasionally break into a pace, but would
show no speed, not even a good road gait either way—pace or
trot. After breaking her I turned her out when spring came
ina pasture. She would show wonderful flights of speed on
a trot, turned loose. In fact, any time during the summer if
I would go in the lot and stir her up, she would go across the
lot flying, she seemed to have forgotten how to pace. When
fall came I took her up, shod her, and commenced to use her.
The harness seemed to lock her up, she could not go a bit—
went blundering along knocking one foot out of the way with
the other; I used her all that winter, driving her two or three
times a week, but with no perceivable improvement, in fact,
there were days I would have almost given her away. When
spring came I used her a short time and turned her out again,
let her run all summer; she was the same trotter in the past-
ure as the year before—could show speed and was good
gaited. In the fall I took her up, shod her, and commenced
driving her again, but with no improvement. I don't believe
she could show a five-minute gait during that winter; went
very stiff-leged in front, in fact, did not seem to have any
knee joint, and went very wide behind. I used a pound shoe

44 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

on her in front, and at times a pound toe weight—-with that
she could not go any; if I attempted to force her along she
would hitch and hobble, and-it seemed hard work to go, and
still she was trying to go on a trot; she had plenty of life, in
fact, was high strung, but was very gentle and clever to drive
and seemingly tried to trot.

The following summer I used her as my road horse for
myself and family. My wife used to drive her and people
would chafe me about letting my wife drive such a lumoux
of ahorse. She did improve a little that summer, she could
perhaps go a four-minute gait. I would occasionally hitch
her to a sulky and go out on the track and try to drive her a
little, providing there was no one around to laugh at me, but
it always seemed like time thrown away. My friends often
said tome: “ Jack, you better breed her ; she will never learn
to go. But she is well bred and will make a good brood
mare.” I would say, “No, I am like the boy digging for the
woodchuck, | must have him, and I must have speed.” I
had as high as a two-pound shoe on _ her in front and
sometimes a pound behind. She would hit her coronet be-
hind so as to make them sore, and | used toe boots on her for
ordinary road work. I worked along with this mare until she
was seven years old, shod her in every imaginable way, used
_different harness, checks and bits, and hitched to every kind
of a vehicle, but without any improvement to speak of. Of
course a Clydesdale or Norman would improve a little with
this treatment. She was a very hearty mare and a great
feeder; would fill herself so full that she had no use of herself.
I found from giving her a long drive she would get emptied
out and show quite a bit more step than with ordinary work.
Still she was not gaited, had no knee action, could not get her
front feet out of the way of her hind ones, and was inclined
to carry her near hind foot between her front ones and conse-
quently would hitch and hobble. Finally I put on an-eigh-
teen and a half ounce shoe on the near front foot and a pound
on the off one, with the weight all in the heel that I could

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 45

get, and cut away in the toe so it was not wider than your
little finger; then attached to the toe of the shoe one of the
Columbus weight spurs made very long so as to come nearly
to the hair on the front of the foot, and used a two-ounce
weight very high up; it came within an inch of the coronet.

That seemed to make her fold her knee and the difference in

the weight of her front shoes seemed to square her and make
her hind legs track. Sometimes I used a four-ounce toe
weight instead of the two in a first heat, when she was a lit-
tle rank; then I would take it off and put on the two ounce.
She would go better with that weight high up than she would
with any kind of weight low down where we usually put a toe
weight. People would often ask me, “ Jack, why do you use
that weight so high up on your spur?” All the reply I could
make was, “‘ Because she goes better.’’ I used a very light
shoe on her behind, say six or seven ounces, of equal weight.

Most all horses that hit the coronet of the hind foot against.
the front shoe hit the toe and not the heel, as many suppose
they do. Her shoe being cut away in the toe left nothing to
hit against and she then would go clear, so I did not have to
use even a toe boot on her. But still she had to have a large
amount of work before she would show any speed. That, of
course, began to tell on her legs, so I said to myself, ‘old girl,
I will try another scheme.”” When her day came for work I
would hitch her double with another horse in the morning,
hitch them to the drag and work her from two to three hours
putting the track in order, bring her in and do her up nicely
as though she had trotted a race, feed her at the usual dinner
hour and about two o’clock put the bootsand harness on her.

Up to this time she had never showed mea mile better than
3:04, which was very slow for the time and money I had spent
on her, but I had not forgotten the boy that was after the
ground-hog, so 1 kept trying, and the third day after I had

worked her as above described to the drag, etc., she stepped
off three heats better than 2:40 for me and was as good gaited
and good behaved as any horse you ever saw. Then I said to

46 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

myself, the child is born, and so it was. She went right on
and improved and was a good race horse ever after. She
trotted a good many heats close to 2:20, still she got no faster
record than 2:244.

I found one other little obstacle about this mare which it
might be well to mention as you may have one in this respect
to contend with. While she had as good a foot as you would
wish to see on a horse, she would not go as well over a sting-
ing hard track as she would one a little soft. About that
time I discovered the Locky pad for putting under a horses
shoe, and it struck me as what I had been looking for a long
time, something to put on the bottom of the foot to take off
the concussion. I got a pair of them at once and put them
under her shoes, and it was just what she needed, she would
shut her eyes and go one kind of atrack as well as another.
I have used them ever since with great success with other
horses. I have given you the details of the case to show you
what can be done by patience, experimenting and _ persever-
ance. I won one race with her in the Grand Circuit at Buf-
falo, which paid me for all the time I had spent with her. I
sat all the morning and bought her in the pools from a hun-
dred and upwards for from two to five dollars. I had trotted
her the week before at Cleveland in the same class and she
did not make a good showing, consequently they did not con-
sider me in the race. I went out inthe afternoon and stepped
it off for them in one, two, three order, and was paid for all
the ridicule, vexation and trouble I had endured on her ac-
count. This was a case where patience won.

When the snow is gone, the road bad and muddy, alter-
nately freezing and thawing, it would be well to remove the
shoes from your colt and give him a short let up, say two or
three weeks; shorten up on the grain say one-third. He
should be walked once a day for about thirty minutes. Give
him plenty of hay to fill himself to get intoa sort of state of
nature. As the weather and roads improve, which is probably
about April Ist, commence giving him a jog of four or five

miles every other day for the first week, then every day. If
your colt is in high condition, increase his work, say the first
day four or five miles, the next day six or seven miles, alter-
nately. You ought to be able to judge whether he needs
more or less work. If not very strong and rather thin in
flesh, three or four miles would be enough.

Now, your colt is three years old, and when you com-
ménce working him on the track go out with him hitched
light. The first time he will probably feel fine and be full of
trot ; he will show you more speed than he ever did before if
you allow him to. Be very careful not to give him too much
of it or let him go too fast—half or two-thirds’ speed would
be better; two to three miles joging, and a quarter at a
fair rate of speed well within himself. Don’t let him break,
if possible to prevent, so as to cut himself or hit his quarters,
as it would be very bad to frighten him in the commence-
ment of his work. Be sure and come off the track with plenty
of trot left in him; do not stay until he says enough; then
your colt will feel encouraged and go on the track the next
time cheerful and improve, whereas, if you should tire him
the first time he will be reluctant to go to the track on his
next working day, and will not act as well and will seem
to have his speed. You will say to yourself or a bystander,
““There is something the matter with my colt, he don’t act
natural, he is not himself,” when the trouble is you gave him
too much the first day, as he felt well and wanted to do it.
Perhaps this colt’s gait has changed by age and increased
strength, as many do, it may be different even from what it
was last fall or even in the winter to sleigh; he may want a
little more weight in front, may be less; you should watch
this carefully so as to be sure he is properly balanced. Many
colts in their three-year-old form which required weights the
fall before may not need them in the spring. I would advise
trying them both ways, although they may be acting well-~
say, if you are going to repeat him put them on for the first
heat, in the second heat remove them—set him going carefully

and well in hand, and if he appears to be gaited all right ease
away and let him go. I have often seen colts by removing
weights go a second or two faster than with them on, when
they would really need them in their warming up mile. After
they had been thoroughly warmed and muscles put in action
they could go faster without them. My aim is to not have a
colt or horse carry one ounce more weight than he is obliged
to, except what is necessary to protect the wall of his footand
balance him. Perhaps this year he will want a different
check. He might want to be checked a little higher or a lit-
tle lower. May be you will want to swap the overdraw for
the old-fashioned side check or Carlton; perhaps vice versa.
That old saying, let well enough alone, will do in many cases,
but with a colt or horse some little change of this kind will
develop wonders. I have often seen some little change like
this improve a colt or horse as much as we see in exchanging
drivers. The bit we used on him three months ago does not
suit him now. He may froth at the mouth or shake his head
—it may be the bit, perhaps his teeth. They may have got
sharp and uneven. It will be well to have a horse dentist
look well to his mouth twice a year. Many times we are im-
posed upon by the doctor we call, as he does not understand
his business, and he will do the colt more harm than good by
filing away too much of the teeth and break the enamel of
the tooth, making the teeth sore, and the colt will not eat as
much as before the job was done. But we find it very neces-
sary, and a good horse dentist can make a great improvement
in many horses’ mouths, so much so that when you come to
drive them you will almost think you have traded horses. If
his lips get sore and peel off a little, the best thing you can
do is to cover his bit with a piece of pork rine, fleshy side out,
for it is necessary to have a good mouth and have confidence
in it, or a man makes awkward work driving him. The pork
rine will heal and toughen the mouth and is very easy ; it will
many times make almost a new mouth. Many good mouths
are made sore and spoiled by a driver having too much

muscle and loosing their temper if the colt does not go just
as he wants him to or makes a break, which is many times
caused by the driver not watching his colt or horse, as you
will often see drivers wanting to drive a whole fleld of horses
when in fact he has all he can do to drive his own. I have
often seen the driver take a peek up in the Grand Stand to
see if his fair one is looking at him, consequently loosing con-
trol of his horse and he makes a break, for which he gets a
cut with the whip and many times a jerk of the reins, nearly
enough to break his neck. I have often seen,a heat lost in
this way when it was charged up to the horse, but the fault
was wholly in the driver. I give all of these details so that
you will be guarded against committing such grave errors of
judgment under all circumstances.

As you progress with your colt watch him carefully, and
if you see he is getting a little off, let up on him as hereto-
fore advised. Change your mode of handling a little, jog
him on the road for a few days or lead him behind a cart,
keeping the bit out of his mouth and the harness off; turn
him in a paddock or small field, letting him train himself for
a week or ten days, and when you take him up again and
commence work you will find he has improved more than any
man could have improved him in the same length of time,
even with careful training or brute force. If your colt gets
tired of one kind of feed, change it; if you have been feed-
ing oats, give him soft feed for a few days, perhaps a little

and the corn is shelled and hard, soak it for six hours to soften
it. If his bowels get loose, a few handfuls of wheat every
day would check them, or a few slices of stale bread from
your table is soothing and has a tendency to regulate them.
Many horses have a natural looseness of the bowels, especially
if they go out into a crowd where there is any excitement.
If you give medicine to check the bowels it is dangerous,
you will also be liable to check his speed several seconds,
as I have seen this occur in a number of cases. You will re-

member that it is sometimes dangerous in the human family
also to check a diarrhea too soon, as it causes a worse and
sometimes fata] sickness. The fact is, keep as near nature as
possible under all circumstances and you will succeed if suc-
cess is possible.

Many times great mistakes are made in booting a horse,
as horses of different gaits want different boots. Some horses
want aclose fitting quarter boot that buckles snugly around the
foot, for instance, the Voltair boot, which fits the quarter snug
and buckles in front with four or five straps. Others might
like the Cynthana, the upper part of which has an attachment
which moves a little on the foot, which just suits the animal.
Others might like the old-fashioned bell or tunnel boot, as it
is called; it moves up and down, or turns around on the foot.
Many such a little thing hasa tendency to help a horse’s gait
more thana man could driving him a dozen times. Many
times they will go better without a quarter boot, but they will
hit and clip their boots so much that we are afraid to drive
them without any on, when the fact is the horse don’t need
them, and he is trying to get them off, and when you once
leave them off he is all right, goes straight andclean, This
applies to all kinds and manner of using boots on a horse.

I have had horses who would not go a bit with scalpers
on, made of leather ; you take the same shaped boot made of
heavy Kersey cloth andthey would go all right. They seemed
to need the protection, but when they hit against the leather
boot it would seem to frighten them, and they would hitch
and break, and act worse many times than they would without
any protection. I have had the same experience with shin,
knee and elbow boots—in fact I favor the Kersey boot in
many cases to leather for the above reason. In case of a
horse having great knee action and hitting his elbows, a boot
which is often used is an elbow boot. This hitting is usually
caused by having too much weight on his front foot or his toe
too short, it allows him to fold his knee too much. If his foot
is allowed to grow out, giving a good length of toe, he could

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 51

not get over so quick, and consequently does not fold so high.
In other cases, a long buckskin roll stuffed with deer’s hair,
to make it soft, say six-ply buckling in front reaching from
the ankle to the knee joint, prevents him from touching his
elbows. I think the elbow boot is the meanest looking and
the hardest to keep in its place ever a horse wore.

The best elbow boot made in America is made by A. V.
Smith, of Rochester, N. Y., and in fact, the best Kersey boot
of any description—quarter, knee, shin or scalper. He also
keeps all kinds of horse boots and equipments of every de-
scription, and is always on hand witha smile and ready to
please the customer if he can be pleased. He sells at whole-
sale and retail,

It will make a difference in many cases in handling your
colt whether you have a mare or a stallion. This does not
apply to geldings. In some seasons of the year, especially in
hot weather, some fillies act worse while ina heat than others.
They are inclined to be frisky and a little sour in their dispo-
sition, both in harness and in the stable. I have seen them
kick in harness at such times when they had never thought of
it before. You better not try to work them much fora few
days. If you have to exercise them, lead them behind a cart,
as many times you tantalize them and injure their disposition.
Stallions, many times—colts as well as aged horses—during
the spring are not as easily controlled as others, are liable to
show temper, will sour on you and don’t seem to improve. A
large majority will improve faster and do better in a month
after cooler weather comes in the fall than they would in
three months in the spring or hot weather of the summer.
Of course there are exceptions to this. A man should use
his own judgment and act according to his horse. Some will
train and trot as well at this time as any season of the year.
It is very necessary to use a stallion support when working
your horse, as many a one has been seriously injured without
it. I have often let up on them entirely for six weeks until
the weather changed, and the horse would change with it and

52 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER,

would commence with new life and take to his work kindly,
go on and improve, and I had a better horse in the fall than I
would if I had kept his work up all summer. It is not neces-
sary to let up entirely in their work, so as to relax their mus-
cle. You might use them in your business on the road, so as
to keep their strength, but not go near the track or attempt
to speed them. When in the stable give them just ordinary
business horse care, see that their feet are kept soft and grow-
ing, take fairly good care of their legs, feed them so they will
not take on too much flesh. By using them in this way you
can have them ready in twenty-four hours to go out and step
off a good mile for you, without endangering their legs or
affecting their wind, as we all know that to give a horse fast
work, many times a quarter or half mile at speed, will do them
more injury than a hard race when in good condition. I
speak from actual knowledge, as in my earlier experience |
injured some myself, as well as seeing the same thing done by
others. A burned child dreads the fire and is able to warn |
others. ;

Continue the conditioning and working of your colt dur-
ing the summer and winter of his three-year-old form about as
described at two years old, with the exception that he will
stand more work, if in your judgment he has acquired addi-
tional strength and muscle. In the spring, at four years old,
your colt virtually enters the ring as a mature horse, if well
developed, and will hereafter be treated as such, as the four-
year-old record is 2:16, and we must now admit that at that
age a horse that has had proper handling ought to trot a good
race.

We will now proceed on horses in training. Horses while
in the hands of a driver are many times over trained and go
amiss, which should be charged up-to the owner instead of the
driver, on account of his anxiety to see him move on the track
and fully extended every morning, I will cite one instance
to prove this and could mention several.

I had a horse in training at Messina Springs many years

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 53

ago, owned by a gentleman in our city that was very anxious
to get the worth of his money, and thought the way to do it
was to be on hand every morning to see that his horse had
plenty of work on the track. He was there promptly at 7
o'clock. He would say, “ Jack, have you worked the horse ?”
I would reply, ‘No, I thought I would let the boy jog him on
the road a little ways this morning and not speed him.” His
reply would be, “ You better straighten him out a little; let
him step along a mile; he will never learn to trot unless you
trot him.” And I naturally wanting to please him, would
hitch him to a sulky and give him a mile; every mile would
be slower than the morning before. The facts are, the first
time I hitched him to asulky, taking him out of his owner’s
road wagon, he showed me a full mile in 2:47, and at the end
of two weeks it was hard work to drive him a mile in 3:10.
I then said to the owner one of two things you must do,
“Take this horse home and keep him there or leave the horse
with me and you go home and stay there until I want you.”
The horse’s ankles had chapped, his mouth was sore, and I
was sore to think that a man had no more judgment than to
want to make a trotter of a horse in two weeks. He said,
“ All right ; when you want me you know where to find me.”
I did not put the harness on that horse in five days; then I
commenced leading him behind a skeleton wagon, as road
carts were not in use then, and gave him a little run in the
paddock every night and morning. His mouth got well, his
ankles healed up, and he began to act cheerful and limber and
show more spirit. I then put the harness on him and gave
him a slow mile or two; he seemed to like it. As I met the
owner in town one evening, I said, “Come over in the morn-
ing and see the horse go?” He said, “All right, my boy, I
will be there; what time shall I come?” I replied, “ Eight
or nine o’clock.” And he came. I hitched the horse, went
out and gave him an easy mile in about 3:00, I cooled him
out and in usual time put the harness on him and went out
again, he stepped off the mile in 2:40 much easier than he

54 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

had ever went a mile before. We were both pleased, and
when he drove off he said, “Good morning; when you want
me again you know where I live.” He never bothered me
any more, that is wanting to see his horse worked. He sold
him right away at a good price to be driven on the road. I
have always thought if he had continued training he would
have made a good horse. I have made it a rule ever since if
I had a man’s horse in training and he wanted to hold a watch
on him every day or two, that the sooner I sent that horse
home the better, because it would lead to unkind words be-
tween his owner and myself, as the horse would not do well.
I would know the cause, but I could not make him think as
I did about it. I have even had horses for people, years ago,
when they would see me joging them on the road, would say
to a bystander or friend, “I don’t pay that man for driving
that horse on the road; I could do that myself; I pay him
for driving him on the track,” and the man would be con-
scientious, perhaps a good fellow, and liberal minded, but not
having any experience with horses, and never having read any
work of instruction on training horses, was entirely ignorant
how a horse should be handled to improve his speed. Ifa
trainer would follow his wishes his horse would be in about
the shape of the horse referred to above. So you see every
man to his business, and we will live and learn. I learn some-
thing nearly every day about a horse, either from my own ob-
servation or a word dropped perhaps from a stable boy, but
the idea was a good one, and I would adopt it as quick as if
it came from Hiram Woodruff, the great Dan Mace, or Doble,
as many cases of improvement in horses is as much due tothe
man having the care of them in the stable as to the man who
drives them. It is just as necessary that they should be well
cared for after their work as it is to drive them well. A good
and successful trainer is one that watches his horses as close
and careful in the stable as they would watch his gait when
driving him on the track. Many men who are left in charge
of good horses are not fit to have charge of a mule, Many

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 55

of them are willing to do anything and everything while you
are there, but as soon as you are out of sight some of them
will grab a blanket, lie down and go to sleep, and let the horse
take care of himself; others will go to kicking and pounding
a horse for something he had done an hour before when you
were there, but at that time he did not dare do it; perhaps
the horse from fright would jump around and strain himself
some way, the next morning when you arrive at the stable you
find the horse lame, the skin knocked off in places. Possibly he
fell down or jumped through a door quick, scaring and in-
juring his hip. You might study, ask, guess and cross-exam-
ine until your head ached and no one would know how it
happened, and when you questioned the groom too closely he
might say he must have got cast last night; I never saw that
until this morning. I have had this occur when perhaps half
a dozen men or boys stood by and saw it, but I could not get
one of them to acknowledge that they knew anything about
it. Perhaps in three months afterwards, when I had dis-
charged the man and he was in some other part of the coun-
try, and the horse had recovered or was recovering from his
injuries, one of the other men would say, “ Boss, did not you
know what ailed that horse’’”’ I would say no. His reply
would be, “I do; Bill knocked him down, or perhaps went to
whipping him, and he jumped through the door and hurt his
hip, strained his ankle or bruised his knee,” which would make
a man boil like a dinner pot. Many a horse is spoiled in this
way and thrown out of training and the public will say they
are no good, they can’t stand work, they will never amount
to anything, when if he had a good groom he might have
made a 2:20 or 2:15 horse, which was then out of the ques-
tion, all owing to a bad tempered groom. I have often said
to myself, how fortunate it is for men that horses cannot talk,
as they might speak unkind words of their driver as well as
their groom. I tell you that kindness and nursing in the
stable has as much to do in developing speed as driving. I
have had men that would get a horse to eat from ten to

56 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

twelve quarts of oatsa day, or within twenty-four hours, when
other men could not get them to eat more than five or six
quarts in the same time. It is very necessary that the horse
and the groom agree and we all know that must be brought
about by kindness. I have seen horses that would seemingly
follow their groom through fire and would be lonesome and
uneasy as soon as the man was out of his stall or out of his
sight, would prick up his ears and seem so glad when he came
back, would come up to him and smell him all over, and would
want to kiss or lap him with his tongue and demonstrate affec-
tion in every possible manner. On the other hand, in some
cases the horse would be scared to death, seemingly, would
fly to the other side of the stall and fairly tremble out of fear
that he was going to get a kick or cut of a whip for something.
Many times that horse would bite or kick that man every
chance he got, because he had abused him, and revenge is
sweet even to ahorse. On the other hand, where there is an
affectionate understanding between horse and groom, no
amount of provocation, by fright or otherwise, would be suf-
ficient to make that horse do any harm to his groom in any
way. This applies to the driver as well as the groom. I be-
lieve many a good horse has been ruined and thrown away
from ignorance and bad handling on the track, in an attempt
to make speed by brute force instead of kindness and study-
ing the horse’s disposition, as there are no two horses tem-
pered just alike more than people. There are very rare cases
where a horse will not improve some instead of going back if
he is properly handled and trained. As I have said before, no
two want training just alike. As a general thing a man who
drives a horse had better not have much to do with him in
the stable, as a horse knows the difference; that is to say,
don’t like to have the driver handle him or rub him in the
stall. I have seen cases where the groom could do anything
that could be done with the horse in the stall—make a perfect
pet of him. When the driver would attempt to go in the stall
the horse would pitch at him like a cross dog. I have had

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 57

horses myself that I did not know that I had ever given them
a cross word or blow of the whip in my life that would hardly
allow me to go into their stall unless the groom was there.
They seemed to say, you have no business here ; you drive me
and you get out or I will kick you out or eat youup. So I
rarely go into their stall to do anything with them, and I have
several of that kind at present. If aman comes and wants to
see one of them, I call the groom, no matter what he is doing,
to come and pull off the blanket rather than have a row with
and irritate them. Great care should be taken not to irritate
a horse’s disposition more than that of a child. They know
just as well who belongs there and whether you are in your
proper place as you do, for I don’t believe any man gives a
horse credit for the intellect he possesses.

A good groom usually sleeps in the stall with his horse
while in training, especially in warm weather, and it is won.
derful how much affection a horse will show for the man. I
have often went around to the stalls late at night, say eleven
o’clock, and found the horse closely snugged up to the man,
so close that it would seem almost impossible that he was not
lying on him, both asleep, many times the horse’s head lying
on the man, using him for a pillow. I have had men who
were sometimes addicted to drink, be out an evening and get
full, would just be able to get to the stable, would manage to
get in the stall, and perhaps fall down in the middle of the
floor. The horse would step over him and around him, try-
ing to find a place to lie down, but either stand up all night
or wait until the man got sober enough to move along and
give him room enough to lie down without getting on him.
And again I have been to the stable early in the morning be-
fore the man was. up, on occasions when they both had their
natural rest and both were sober. I would find the horse up
standing over the man—he had perhaps pulled the blankets
off him. The horse would be rooting the man with his nose,
and really acted as though he was trying to turn him over, es-
pecially if the man was lying upon his face. You will often

58 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

find them sleeping in that position in the stable. -If the man
was lying on his back, the horse would be kissing his face,
tickling his ear with his tongue, and using every means to
wake him up gently, and it is really amusing to see how care-
ful they were to not harm the man. I have seen them walk
across the stall towards the feed-box, perhaps look into it,
turn back, walk near the man, and perhaps raise a foot and
paw the floor, and would seem to say, “ You lazy fellow, why
don’t you awake and give me my breakfast.” When the man
would rouse up, the horse would dance around the stall and
seem to be as happy asa puppy when his master comes home,
The attachment to the groom seems to be much augmented
when there is any danger, say when we are shipping them in
the cars from place to place. The generality of horses are not
contented one minute when their groom is out of sight or out
of the car, but will constantly paw, fret and whinner. I have
seen them worry so much in the absence of the groom, even
on a trivial errand like getting a lunch, a pail of water, etc.,
that they would break out in a sweat and seemed to be in
constant fear when the man was away, but when the man
came back’ he would quiet down and seem to feel safe, as
their bodyguard was at his post and would protect them from
all harm. ;

Great care should be taken on first shipping a horse that
no accident occurs to frighten him, as hitting his head, bridge
slipping, or touching the side of the door going in, as many
times a little accident of this kind will frighten a horse so it is
almost impossible to get him into a car, and he will probably
never get over it, not in a long time at least, so that each
time you load him you will have trouble. Great Eastern was
a very large horse, 17} hands high. The first few times I
loaded him there was no accident and everything was all
right. I remember loading him once at Poughkeepsie, N. Y.,
where the side track was much lower thanthe platform. The
horse really had to crouch down a little to get in the car, in
‘act he had to almost creep, but he seemed to know no fear

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 59

and was willing to get in the car the best way he could. A
short time after that, I think at Utica, in loading him the
groom had him by the halter-stale close to the head, and about
the time the horse’s head got in the door he gave him a jerk
of the halter and said, “Come on here.” The man was just then
in more of a hurry than the horse was, which caused him to
raise his head suddenly and hit it against the top of the car.
It not only frightened but it hurt him, as the top of a horse’s
head is very sensitive and easily injured, It took me a long
time to get him over it. I remember trying to load him once
at home in Syracuse. Tom King and I worked fully two
hours trying to persuade him to go into the car, but he would
not. Finally Tom said, “If you will get me some apples and
go away out of sight, I will get him in.” So I got the apples
and got back out of sight and watched the manceuvering be-
tween man and horse. Tom patted him, took an apple out
of his pocket, took a bite himself and gave the horse a bite,
took another and offered the horse another, and in that way
they went walking along eating apples together towards the
car door, and before the horse realized where he was or what
had happened he was in the car happy and contented and the
apples were all consumed.

The public will remember many serious accidents have oc-
curred in loading horses. Lady Thorn, in the prime of life,
was ruined at Rochester in loading, and that great horseman,
Dan Mace, had her by the halter at the time to prevent acci-
dent, as he knew her peculiarities which were developed in ,
the early part of her career by some little mishap in getting
her inacar. They had a bridge for loading as good as could
be made they supposed, but as she got part way up the bridge
she stopped and swung her hind parts around, stepped off
with one foot, fell across the iron rail and injured her hip so
that her usefulness was ended, except for breeding purposes.
I usually load my horses with as secure bridges as I can pro-
cure, have the groom take them by the halter stale, say from
two to three feet from the head and walk right along in the

60 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

car without looking at the horse, as though he did not care
whether the horse came or not, and I would go behind taking
a good strong hold of the horses tail; in that way you can
make their hind feet follow their front ones, as you have a
ruder at both ends to steer by, you can prevent their stepping
off the bridge with their hind feet, they will take care of the
forward feet as they can see them. A horse many times gets
partly in the car, he sees or hears something that makes him
stop; his first thought is to back out or turn, and that is when
he steps off; if you have a good hold of his tail you can pre-
vent any accident. This applies to unloading as well as load-
ing. It is always safest to have a man at each end of a horse.
A horse should be put in a car with his head towards the
center and hind quarters in the end of car. His head should
be tied both ways across the car, he is not as liable to get
hurt as he would be if his head was towards the end of the
car, as the train is liable to stop or start sudden, and he injures
his head or he flies back and breaks his halter, perhaps throw-
ing himself; if they are hitched the other way they can’t fly
back as the end of the car would only bea brace for the but-
locks, and would not do much harm. The car should be well
bedded with straw, then a horse feels more at home and con-
tented. They will urinate as usual, where, if they only have
a bare floor they will hold their urine for hours longer than
usual to their detriment. This point needs no illustration, as
every person knows by experience about such neglect in his
own case. Occasionally there is a horse that won’t urinate in
‘a car. This should be watched carefully, and when he is
taken off and put in a stable if his urine is scanty or he makes
hard work of passing it, he should be treated for it. Give
him from 2 to 4 ounces spirits of nitre; give him the first
named amount, wait three hours, and if not relieved give 2
ounces more; or, give Humphrey's Homeopathic Specific H.
H. as directed onthe bottle. This condition will many times
knock off three or four seconds of speed and many times get
them out of condition altogether for several days.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 61

Here is another case where you need a bright, trusty,
sober groom, as more is depending on him than his driver, as
the horse is under his care all the time; if the horse is a little
off, and the groom is competent and observant, he knows the
cause. The driver comes and works the horse, finds he is not
just right, comesin and says to the groom, ‘‘What is the matter
with this horse? Does he eat good? Is his water all right ?
Have you discovered anything wrong?” Perhaps, after ques-
tioning him fora time, he will tell you he did not eat well
this morning, or says, ‘“‘I have not seen him stale since yester-
day.” If he had been the right kind of a groom he would
have told the driver the horse was not right before working
him, and he would have saved an injury to the horse and
brought him right much sooner, as the work he got wasa
detriment to him.

You will find the trainer that has the best success with a
stable of horses is the man who is willing to put up himself in
humble quarters in order to be near his horses, in spite of the
fact that his expense account allows him first-class hotel fare
in the city. There is many a good horseman who is in too
much of a hurry to change his clothes and get into town after
giving his horse a hard bruising race or after stiff work, in
giving him a strong repeat, telling the groom to cool him out
soandso. If inarace and the horse got beaten and the
driver is out of sight, the groom don’t do as he is told, says
perhaps, “ The sucker, he is not worth taking care of,’ and
don’t do half what he was told to do. The driver comes out
the next or second day and finds his horse a little sore, per-
haps he is coughing. He says to his man, “ What is the mat-
ter with this horse. Did you do as I told you last night in
cooling him out?” Of course the man says yes. You could
not expect him to say he disobeyed orders. It isa fact I have
seen a race between the driver and groom to see which would
get into town first after a hard race. The groom might think
the horse not sufficiently cooled out to feed and he would say,
‘JT will give him his supper when I get back,” and as the re-

62 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

turn would not be before eleven or twelve o’clock, the horse
would have to go hungry all that time. The horse is blamed
for not doing well, when really the trainer is the one that is
to blame for not attending to his own business, as everybody
knows that no business will run itself or be a success en-
trusted wholly to hired help. Many a good horse has been
ruined by neglecting to properly cool out after a hard race or
a stiff repeat, when if he was properly cooled out and cared
for the work or race would do him good instead of an injury,
It requires a great amount of care and attention to cool a
horse out properly, especially towards night, after strong
work. Many times more harm can be done in five minutes
than can be overcome in weeks by the grooms stopping and
talking together, the horses being in a draft, not properly
clothed or kept out too long, when he should be in a stable,
it being a cold day or evening.

Many of these things are done which would not happen
if the trainer would stop near his horses where his eyes can
be on his help and horses. There is nothing that I enjoy
more than to be around the stable to see that my horses are
walked, watered, and fed properly and on time; then I can
judge whether they are fit to work and how much they are
able to stand, as the rule applies to a horse as well as man—
if he can’t eat, he can’t work. This don’t apply to all men
who care for horses, as there is many bright, trustworthy men
in the business. Their horse is their life, if either has to be
neglected it is themselves, and in many cases they know more
about a horse than atrainer. There is many a man training
horses that is not fit to train pigs. The horse they are work-
ing knows more than they do, and if he could speak would
say, ‘“ You fool, what are you trying to do with me?” We
see it every day, and I at times turn and walk away from such
exhibitions, where it is none of my business, but it makes my
blood boil to see the abuse of that noble animal. Many men
are only capable of getting in a sulky and driving a horse a
fast mile or two, and they can really do that well, but don’t

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 63

know or don’t care to have anything more to do witha horse ;
will leave that to the boys. They don’t seem to think it is
necessary to know anything about the business of condition-
ing or careing for their horses, when the fact is, that success
in the business depends wholly in taking care of your horse
before and after his work. No man can succeed with a stable
unless he spends a greater part of his time with his horses.
There is nothing I enjoy or think is more necessary than to
hang about the stable, see the boys cool out the horse, do
him up and put him away for the night, and then be there
early in the morning to see how my hoise comes out. If the
horse is not right, then I know who is to blame—it is the
horse, not the boys—and I say to myself and the owner when
I see him, ‘‘ Your horse won’t stand quite so stiff work; I am
in doubt a little about that fellow, we have got to make a
change. When it comes his turn to be worked again we won't
work him quite so stiff. To-day I gave him three stiff heats,
but next time I shall try giving him four instead of three
heats, but not so fast, as it is the rate of speed that tells on
many horses, and I think we better bottle that speed fora
killing day and keep it.”, In about three days I work him
again. This horse, we will say, could trot in 2:20, and J had
worked him three heats—2:28, 2:26 and 2:24—the next morn-
ing he would appear a little muscle sore and care worn, is a
little tucked up in the flank, perhaps he did not take his break-
fast with a relish.

The next time I worked him I gave him a heat in 2:37,
second one in 2:35, third 2:334, and the last or fourth mile in
2:31? ; stayed about the stable until he was thoroughly cooled
out and done up, and on the following morning was at the
stable before feeding time and had him led out of the stall
and walked a bit. I found he appeared better, that he was
bright and cheerful, walked up promptly and when he was put
back in his stall was ready for his breakfast and ate it as
though he enjoyed it.. The fact is a horse will stand nearly as
much again work in a race with other horses than he will to

64 EVERY MAN ‘HIS OWN TRAINER.

go alone. It requires more driving and more exertion on the
part of the horse and man than it wouldin a race, where there
is excitement and competition to assist them. It is a rare
thing that you see a first-class trainer driving his horse fast
miles in his work, trying to break the owner’s or some friend’s
watch. The fact is that it takes the speed out of him, for his
and his friend’s amusement, which he should save until the
day of his race. The trainer would have been much better
thought of in the eyes of the public and his owner would have
been much better off financially. It is so natural for the pub-
lic to think that the man that wins is much the best driver.
You will often hear it remarked by people sitting in the grand
stand on the day of a race, ‘If I had a horse that was going
to trot I would want that man to drive him,” pointing to the
man who won the race. Mike Roden always used to say a
good horse makes a great driver, and that is so in many cases.
I have seen men work along year after year fussing with horses
and they were hardly known ten miles from home. Finally
he appears on the track with a good horse and goes off and
wins his race and in twenty-four hours’ time he is known all
over the country and is looked upon by the public at once as
a great driver. He jumps from obscurity to prominence in one
day. Perhaps this was the first horse he had ever had that
would have been a benefit to him or any driver, and again it
might be that this was the first and last case where the driver
and horse nicked to a charm, as I have seen cases where the
man seemed fitted to the horse and the horse to the man and
neither of them areal success when separated. It is a well-
known fact that one man is not a success with all horses. I
have known an amateur to drive a particular horse much bet-
ter and faster than a professional of the first order. He might
work a lifetime and never find another horse fitted to him or
that he could drive a bit on earth. It is not necessary to men-
tion names, but every man who has been in the business will
substantiate this statement. That old saying, practice makes
perfect, will not apply in this business, as it requires a certain

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 65

amount of natural gift to make a man a success, though much
may be acquired by patience and perseverance; but it will
take a man three times as long to develop a horse as it would
a man who had a natural gift in handling horses. We often
see a man who will step around a horse and see more about
him in two minutes than another man with equal intellect
would in one hour. We willsce aman takea horse with a bad
disposition, who has kicked, balked or bolted, and he can do
anything with him, while the other man could do nothing. I
have learned much in watching that man and learning his
tactics, see what he does to bring about the change, and ap-
plied it to my benefit at the first opportunity, as I don’t be-
lieve there is any man so well up in any business but that he
can learn something from others in a business in which he is
interested, especially in training horses.

Wonders will never cease, for who would have thought
two years ago that Guy would trot in 2:12 in 1888, and no one
knows what he will do in 1889. Everyone knows he had been
in the hands of talent year after year and yet of no account un-
til the right man hit the right horse, as I have said before.
This case is proof of my doctrine that horses don’t require a
great amount of work, as Sanders does not give Guy more
than one-third of the work that he had been in the habit of
getting in other hands, and the result is well known. He
gives him the most of his work in scoring. I have seen him
on the track for half an hour at a time and he would not go
up the track farther than the 150 yard distance stand, and
hardly go around the turn past the stand before he would take
him up and go back. He had always been a bad scorer. He
would start off on a canter and would not strike a trot for a
long time. Everyone remembers that at Buffalo in scoring he
wore out Prince and Rosaline Wilkes, the patience of the
judges, and in fact every man, woman and child that wit-
nessed the race.

At Rochester, the next week, though in a large field of
horses, he was greatly improved in that respect, and in fact

66 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

continued to improve to the end of the season, both in scor-
ing and speed. I saw him trot at New York and Philadelphia.
He scored as well as any horse, and his 2:12 at Cleveland goes
to show that the disposition of man and horse nicked well.
This will apply to many a good horse, or would have been
good if he had hit the right man. I could cite many a case of
this kind, if necessary, to illustrate my theory that the dispo-
sition of horse and man must agree to make a great success,
Many failures are made bya man lacking the patience to
study the disposition of his horse and manner of treatment
necessary, both in the stable and on the track.

Referring to a case of my own—Jane R. When she came
into my hands she was a high-strung, nervous, irritable little
thing and everyone that knew her said she had to be worked
to death to make her trot; that is to say, must have a large
amount of slow work or she would be flighty and foolish and
in fact no good. They had been driving her without blinds,
shod with a twelve ounce shoe anda four ounce toe weight.
I soon found this long work and the weight she was carrying
sored her muscles. She had to have considerable work to get
the soreness out of her. She was inclined to be scringy be-
hind, had a large heavy tail, and seemed to be afraid of it, did
not want me to touch it or take it in my hand, and would
jump every motion I made, She not having been driven with
winkers on could see every move. They cautioned me that I
must be very careful not to touch her tail or attempt to sit on
it when driving her to a sulky.

I started her over through the Eastern Circuit in the
spring, knowing she had a good deal of speed if I could con-
trol it. I trotted her three or four races and got very little
money out of any of them, and sometimes was unplaced and
was trotting outside of 2:30 all the time. I finally decided to
make a change, so I re-shod her, put the Locky pad, hereto-
described, under her shoe, left the toe weight off and went
out and moved her and found I had made quite an improve-
ment. Then I shortened up her work, instead of giving her

EVERY MAN HIS OWN: TRAINER. 67

seven or eight miles in the morning on a jog I would give her
three to four miles, according to the weather and roads. I
found she was better, that is, she had more speed and was in-
clined to be steady. Then I put winkers on her, and she
seemed to say to me, “ Now I am right,’ and in fact I had
another horse. She would rarely break, in fact, I cannot re-
member her making a break without a real good cause the
balance of the season. The fact was the weight she was car-
rying caused her to hit the ground hard it stung and hurt
her feet. I soon found I could take her tail up and sit on it;
it was big and heavy and would dangle between her legs,
which annoyed her. A man should always put the tail under
him, being careful not to draw it too tight. I started her
again in the fall over the same battle ground, and in seven
races won all of them. She proved to be as good a race horse
for what she could do as any animal I ever handled, and re-
quired as little work, in fact, I gave her hardly any work be-
tween her races. She was a high-strung mare, when I got her
right she seemed to be as level-headed as any horse could be.
I gave her a record of 2:26, but trotted many heats much
faster, and I sold her in the fall to Mayor Dickson, of New
York, for $5,000. She has since trotted in 2:21.

Another particular case was the noted stallion King Al-
mont. When he came into my hands he was considered of
very little account; that is, he was speedy, but not a good
race horse, as he was thought not to be able to go the route
out. He had a record of 2:32 or 2:33 at that time, but seemed
to be sore and was all tied up. The fact was his feet were
hurting him. His feet looked good, but they were not. They
were pinched from bad shoeing, heels were very high and in-
clined to be narrow, the sole of the foot was very high and
cuppy—in fact, I had him fully two months before I was able
to drive him a mile in 2:40. I finally decided the whole
trouble was in his feet. I commenced moderately letting
down his heels, using the leather and sponge—Lookey pad—
which kept the sole of his foot moist. They commenced to

spread, which gave him great relief, and with a little prepara-
tion of ammonia and sweet oil around the coronet I started a
healthy growth of the foot. I was careful not to get it strong
enough to blister, but just enough to irritate. I found he
could then go as many heats as any man’s horse, when he was _
free from soreness and his feet were grown down in natural
form. I started him towards fall and gave him a few easy
races, one of which was at Oswego against the bay stallion
Stevanus, record 2:28. They seemed to think a stallion race
would draw a good crowd, so they came up and hired me to
go to Oswego with King Almont and Mr. Jenney’s Stevanus.
My horse had not been going a bit until about ten days be-
fore, when he seemed to begin to act quite like a trotter. I
thought it a good time to start him, as I was guaranteed a
certain amount and expenses. I did not have much confi-
dence in the horse, but thought it a good time to experiment
with him. When I got down there the Association had heard
the talk around town that Stevanus was to winas a sure thing
and were considerably aroused about it, came to me to know
if it was so, I told them it was not. I should win if I could.
But the knowing ones did not think it was necessary to have
a job; they knew Stevanus could win and played their money
accordingly. They had Mr. Van Valkenburg from Ogdens-
burg there, who had given Stevanus his record over a half-
mile track, so that made it doubly sure on their part. We
went out and the fun commenced. To their surprise I won
the first heat in about 2:32. I won the second heat in 2:313,
and then there was trouble. The wise ones were in the hole,
and they began to try to see some way to dig out, and the
very men who were so afraid there was a job and thought I
was going to pull my horse were the first ones to come to me
and asked me to pull him to save their friends’ money. But
by that time things had got warm. There had been much
talk and I had made up my mind that I wanted to win. The
owner of the big stallion was there and he wanted me to win
_ if I could, as would be natural, as he wanted reputation for

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 69

his stallion and had not got much at that time. By this.time
things had got to fever heat and I guess the boys thought
something had got to be done to save their money, and as we
went up the stretch to score Stevanus turned fully three rods
ahead of me. I came down easy, not thinking we would get
the word, but the boys thought now or never, and they gave
us the word go. It was the first time I had ever seen that
horse show any pluck or determination to try to beat a horse.
When they said go he seemed to fly. Before we had gone
forty rods I had caught Stevanus and when we got to the
quarter pole I had him beat a length. I won the heat as I
pleased in about 2:30, There was manya long face as I
turned and came back to the stand. I felt a good deal hap-
pier than I many times have when I have won more money,
as there are times in life when satisfaction is worth more than
money. I had that in finding out that I had a good horse or
would have before snow flew.

I then entered him at Island Park, Albany, in the 2:30
class. He started against General Ewing, a horse Alex. Lewis
had brought from Salt Lake City, that had won at Chicago
and Cleveland, making a record of 2:213, and the boys thought
him about invincible in the class; Valley Boy, St. Cloud and
several other real good ones started. Judging from the way
pools sold the talent thought General Ewing had a walk over,
as he was a favorite of three or four to one over the whole
field. I thought well of the big stallion, and put a little
money on him; if I remember right, the amount was $50.
When the bell rang we went out and the war began, and in
scoring I found I had a pretty good horse. When we got the
word Ewing shot to the front, I went a piece of the route
with him and satisfied myself that I was as good as he if not
a little better. I then took my horse back and laid up the
heat. Ewing won the heat apparently in a jog; time, 2:191 ;
and then he was a booming favorite. I told the boys to put
on a little more money, that Ithought I could do him. One
of the talent on Ewing’s staff overheard some of the conver-

7O EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

sation and looked at me and said, laughingly, “Well, if that
big lobster can win I am willing to lose my money and walk
to Chicago.” He had to lose his money, but I don’t know
whether he walked or not, for I done him after giving the boys
quite a scare. When we got the word on the second heat |
just moved the big horse out and went around the party, in-
cluding Ewing, like a cooper around a barrel. I had the lead
well up into the stretch when one of my tugs got off, and be-
fore I saw it got down on the ground, the horse stepped on it
and broke, Ewing winning the heat in 2:254, making him two
heats in. Then the friends on my staff that had a little
money on the big horse became very uneasy and began hedg-
ing their money off, and the talent on the other side said, “ It
is just as I told you, he is a big lobster, he will quit,” and im-
agined they had the money in their pocket and had started
for home, but I made them give it back, for I won the next
heat in 2:263, the next in 2:29, with hands down, and then the
turmoil come, the kickers commenced to squeal, coming on
the track and wanted a new driver put up behind Ewing, and
nothing else would do but the driver must be changed. The
judges took out Alex. Lewis and put in Ollie Woodward, of
Boston, but it made no difference, as I won the fifth heat in
9:261, as I pleased. It was late in the fall and the track was
very heavy. The time was good as 2:23 or 2:24 on a good
track. It was as great a surprise party as you ever saw. The
big horse had proved himself a good race horse and dead
same, and the boys that had any confidence in him won quite
a bundle of money, and as for myself, I did not want for coal
that winter.

The next week I shipped him to Belmont Park, Philadel-
phia, where he met a large field of good horses in the 2:31
class. The gray gelding, General Bemish, 2:263; Valley Boy,
2:241 ; Crown Point Maid and Charlotte Cushman. The bet-
ting was good, as Almont was not a favorite until he had won
two heats. General Bemish won the first heat in 2:284, King
Almont won the second in 2:264, the third in 2:28, and still

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. Wis

Bemish sold over him in the pools, as the boys all considered
the winning of the third heat a scratch, as he only beat
Bemish out by a head. But here was a kind of a horse that
the old man Doble used to say, ‘‘ You could lose with easier
than you could win,” for you did not have to pull him if you
did not want to win, all you had to do was not drive him
quite so hard, for he required a good deal of hetchling. I
have driven him many heats when I thought I was more tired
at the finish than he was, still he could go as many heats in
one notch as any horse I ever saw.

Before the public got to know him you would hear it re-
marked every heat he won, ‘‘ That is the last heat he will win
to-day.” He was a horse that would act dull and sluggish at
the finish of a heat and would many times blow like a por-
poise, and in fact it took me a long time before I could be-
lieve in his being a real game horse. I had quitea little money
on him before the race began ; I kept putting on alittle more.
My friends that had money on him came to me after the fin-
ish of the third heat and said, ‘“‘ Jack, he is as dead as a ham-
mer; he won't do. Bemish outfinished him.’ And really I
felt a little that way myself, but still I said it won’t do to
weaken. So I told the boys they could do as they liked, but
I should not change any of my money, but I should not put
onany more. The big rascal blowed out in five minutes and
was seemingly ready in ten minutes for the bell to ring for
another heat. When the bell did ring, which was in twenty
minutes, he was as fresh as a daisy and went out and won the
fourth heat just as he pleased ; 2:264 was hung out, but out-
siders had the time some faster.

The fact was this was a singular kind of a horse. He was
inclined to be slack, did not worry about anything and would
not do any more than he was obligedto. He was very hearty,
was a great feeder, and if not watched would fill himself so
full that he could not go a bit. He would blow and take on
and be apparently all tired out after going one heat. The
groom had to attend to his business and keep the hay and

72 EVERY MAN HIS OWN. TRAINER.
water away from him in excess of his regular allowance, which
I had learned he needed. This horse had to have his hay and
water restricted the day before a race, as he was a very hearty
horse and required a good deal of feed to keep him strong.
We know there is a great ‘difference between horses in feeding
to keep them in condition. I have heard it remarked in
human labor that a big heavy eater was sluggish and was not
able todo as good a day’s work as a more nervous, active
light eater. I really think this applies to a horse as well; but
when he was thoroughly prepared he was a race horse of the
first water and had a good rugged constitution man to drive
him. These are a class of horses that I do not like as race
horses as they are hard to condition and hard to drive, but
this was an exception, for I liked this big horse because he
would always get some of the money and would generally win
if he was not outclassed too much. He would, if right, get
the largest end of the money before the sun went down. I
really think he could keep his clip as far if not farther than
any horse I ever had. You could commence to drive him
when they said go and keep at him the whole mile and if you
did not get tired he would not. I had to keep hold of his
head all the time, keep lifting, fishing, tapping him with the
whip, first in one place, then in another, and occasionally a
rap with the rein would seem to touch him in a new place; at
times would run the reins backwards and forwards across his
hip as though I was going to take both reins in one hand, and
release the right hand so as to hit him harder with the whip;
that would make him think I meant business, and he would
let out another link. But I did not dare to hit him ‘too hard
or too many times in one place; if I did he would sulk or
break—it would make him mad. In fact, a man had to work
his passage to drive this big horse, but as I said before, if the
driver did not weaken he would not. He won me a great
many hard fought races and a good pot of money and I re-
gard him to-day asa great stallion, though he was badly used
and not much thought of before I got him.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 73

After this race I took him home, removed his shoes, put
a light blister around the coronet of his front feet so as to
keep them growing and in a good healthy condition, as I had
before had considerable trouble with them. I had by this
time made up my mind he was really worth a good wintering,
and I gave it to him, that is, I cooled him out with soft feed,
reduced his grain about one-half, gave him about four to six
quarts of carrots every day until the weather got cold—they
are too refrigerating a nature to feed in cold weather; I don’t
like to feed them or any other roots in freezing weather. In
fact, only a few of them at any time, as I think too much of
them makes a horse too sappy and the muscles flabby. I
gave him a walk of half a mile every day in a tan-bark ring;
his feet grew and spread at the heels. I kept him in this way
until about the middle of January, then I put on his shoes
and commenced to joghim. For the first ten days I jogged
him every other day three or four miles, the intervening day
I walked him in the ring. After ten days I jogged him every
day when it was fit weather for a horse to be out. When
spring came and I commenced to work him on the track, I
found he had improved very much from the year before, and
I think it was on account of his feet, as they had got by this
time in a natural state and seemed to be sound. He was not
looking for a soft place to set his foot down, but hit right out
straight and square—in fact, he was another horse. This
spring I trotted him some races over half-mile tracks at El-
mira and Bradford, Pa., as I did not care to give him hard
races early in the season, so I gave him these races to season
him up, for the benefit of the horse, regardless of finances, as
I expected to look after the money later in the season, and I
did look after it and found it. I started him his first race over
a mile track at Springfield, Mass., in the latter end of the
Grand Circuit, in the 2:25 class. He competed in a large field
of horses. One of the contesting horses was the gray gelding
Don, driven by J. J. Bowen, of Boston. I was not
anxious to give my horse a hard race. I placed my faith in

74. EVERY MAN HIS OWN’ TRAINER.

Don and put my money on him accordingly, He pulled off
the money according to rule after a hard race of five or six
heats, of which King Almont won two in 2:251 and 2:25. I
think he could have won another if the ‘money had_ been
right. He proved himself a better horse than I thought, as
he had no work overa mile track up to this time. The next
week he was entered at Hartford in the 2:25 class, in a good
field of horses. [Barbara Patchen 2:241, Handicap: 2:22,
Index 2:21, Magic 2:254, Maggie F., 2:26, Valley Boy 2:244,
and Jack Sailor 2:25}.] I placed my faith in the big stallion
and played a few hundred dollars in money. He won the
race after five heats. I laid up the first: heat, not making a
move for it. Handicap won it in 2:244. I won the second
heat in 2:221 ; in the third heat I threw a shoe and it was won
in 2:241 by Barbara Patchen. I won the fourth heat in 2:233,
fifth heat in 2:23.

The next week I entered him at Providence, R. I., and
started him in the 2:23 class against Stephen G., Frank, Handi-
cap, and Sleepy Joe, a horse that had not been beaten a race
that year down the line. My race at Providence was to have
been trotted on Tuesday, but was postponed until Thursday
on account of bad weather. I had Almont entered to
trot on Friday at Mystic Park, Boston, I was a little greedy
for money and thought he was made of iron. I thought he
could win both races, and in order to save him as much as
possible, I shifted my tactics and decided I would close this
race up in three heats instead of laying him up the first heat.
I went away and won the first heat in 2:213. In the second
heat my horse stepped in a loose place near the quarter pole
and made a bad break, Stephen G. winning the heat in 2:23}.
I won the third heat in 2:223. Sleepy Joe had been laying up
all this time and had not moved for a heat. When we got
the word for the fourth time he turned loose and came at me,
and we went lapped the entire mile. I had too much confi-
dence in the King and was driving him a little too easy in the
stretch, not keeping at him in my hammer and tongs way as

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 75

usual. As we neared the stand Sleepy Joe was out-trotting
me a little, he had got his nose to my saddle-girt. The big
horse when I called on him did not respond as I thought he
ought to, and I hit him a hard blow on the shoulder with the
whip, which made him mad. _ He broke and jumped sideways,
nearly running me into the fence. Sleepy Joe won the heat
in 2:23. Then the boys said, “It is all up. Sleepy Joe will
win it.’’ My friend J. J. Bowen and others came running to
me to know what to do, as they had money on King, and
said, “‘ Shall we get our money off orletitstand?’’ I says, “I
have about $400 on the King and I shall let it be where it is,
as I know how I lost that heat; it was I that was to blame
and not the horse.” Billy Campbell, the owner of Sleepy Joe,
put on about $1,600 on his horse before we started for the
fifth heat, as he thought they could not lose it, and in fact
every one thought, as they had so often before, that the big
horse had got done. I, knowing the horse, thought dif-
ferent. The fourth heat proved, as I have told you before,
that he would not bear a hard blow with the whip, and any
horse with his temperament will not. When we came out for
the fifth heat I prepared myself and the horse, that is, I was
determined with him, sharpened him up before going up for
the word, and when we scored up and got off I went around
Sleepy Joe like a cooper around a barrel. I took the pole at
the first turn, then took my horse right back and let Joe come
up on the outside of me; then went out into the middle of
the track, as the track near the pole was badly cut up as the
Madam and Mertie Peek combination had run a five-mile
bace between heats. 1 ‘staid there the entiré mile. Joe
and the King went like a double team. I was satisfied that I
could out-trot him at any time, but did not try to go away
from him, just simply kept my horse reined up and ready for
a brush at a breath’s warning, and we did not either of us
seem to be in much of a hurry until we got up near where the
money was. We went in that way-until well inside of the
draw gates—neck and neck. Then we both made the drive.

76 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER,

When I moved the bit in King’s mouth and spoke sharp to
him he went away from Joe like a train of cars going away
from a stage coach and won the heat by nearly two lengths
right back in 2:23, and we must have gone fully a mile and an
eighth, for that track is very wide and I was in the centre of
it. Then, of course, there were some long faces and some
smiling ones. For my part,] was happy. Billy Campbell
complained that I pinched him on the turn, taking the pole
too quick, but the judges did not seem to think so and gave
me the heat and race.

We took the big horse to the stable and I stayed with
him until about 10 o’clock at night and saw him nicely cooled
out, saw him eat his supper and have his usual play spell with
his companion—a dog which I had with him that year. He
was very fond of him. It did not matter how hard a day’s work
he had done or how late it was, when the boys got him done
up and he had eaten his supper and was ready for bed, he
must have the dog fora little play spell. If the dog was not
in the stall he would walk around and look and call for him
as plain as he could. The boys would open the door and call
the dog in as he might be out to play. He would be very
glad to see him, would grab him by the back and throw him
across the stall a few times. The dog would take it all in
good part. I never knew him to bite or hurt him in the
least. He would sometimes grab his halter-stale and King
would swing him as a dog would a rat, then they would go to
bed and snug down together like a couple of kittens.

The next morning we brought Almont into town at five
o'clock, put him ina car and shipped him to Boston. The
train was two hours late, we did not get to Boston until after-
noon. Then the boys had to walk the horse out to the track,
which is about seven or eight miles. When they arrived at
Mystic Park the other horses in the 2:22 class, in which I had
King entered, were out on the track, all warmed up and ready
to start. Deucalion, 2:22; Modock, 2:194; Index, 2:21; Her-
sey, 2:253, were in the race. I thought I would start King to

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. WG

save his entrance money if nothing more, as 1 knew he could
not be much good. He was chapped under the ankles and a
little care worn from his yesterday’s work and the day’s jaunt,
and if I had not known he was a cast-iron horse, I would not
have started him. I had learned that he would stand most
anything. He would lie down, stretch out and get his rest at
any time when he had an opportunity. There is a great
difference in horses about that, some will lie down in the day
time and rest out, no matter who or how many is around.
Such horses, as a rule, are good campaigners, they will take
things easy and get all the rest and comfort they can when
you give them a chance. Many horses will not lie down in
the day time unless the stall is darkened and everything is
quiet about them. We went on with the others and got the
word. Deucalion got the first heat in 2:224; Modock won
the next heat in 2:203, the third in 2:184, the fourth in 2:20},
and that ended the race. Deucalion got second money and
King got third. In the last heat King pulled a shoe and cut
his quarter very badly, so that the next morning he was very
sore. I removed his shoes, put poultices on his front feet
and he laid down the most of the time for the next twenty-
four hours. I did not disturb him, but let him rest for two
days. I would have let him gone another day only I had him
entered in the great Balch stallion race at Beacon Park the
next week, Sept. 26, 1883. It was a $2,000 purse and a good
field of horses. I was very anxious to start him init. On
the third day I put on his shoes, jogged him two miles and
the boys and myself stayed right by him, nursed and done
everything we possibly could for his comfort, as his race come
off the next Wednesday. On Monday I moved him two slow
miles—one in 2:45 and the other in 2:40. The star of the
coming race was Deucalion by Hambletonian 10; he won a
heat at Mystic Park the week before in 2:224, and forced out
Modock, by Aberdeen, in 2:194.

The horses that started in the race were Deucalion 2:2

2:243, and King Almont. When the day of the race arrived,
Deucalion; on account of his showing the week previous, was
a great favorite. When we commenced to warm up Deucal-
ion looked good, acted fine and bid fair to trot as fast as he
liked. In the pools it looked as though he was a foregone
winner sure. As I warmed up the King he acted dull and
groggy, as he often would when working him alone. But I
thought well of him and put the money on him pretty freely
for me. When we commenced to score for the first heat Deu-
calion was sharp and full of trot and John Goldsmith, who
was driving him that day, seemed confident that he could
win. I did not make much of an effort in scoring with the
big horse, as I did not intend to move for the first heat, sim-
ply came up when the rest did, and saved my horse all I
could, as I did not consider the King in first-class order and
wanted to save all the strength and speed | could until later
on. The track was not very good, was heavy and full of
holes, as there was a good many horses working over it at
that time, and they kept it cut up badly. We finally got the
word. Deucalion shot to the front and won the heat very
easily in 2:25. I brought up the rear. I saw Goldsmith look-
ing back several times in the heat, and he told me after-
wards, he would have given me the heat if I had come along
anywhere near him, as he was so positive of winning the race.
After the heat was over and I had seen King partly cooled out,
I started to walk down towards the track. JI met Gen. John
E. Turner. He said, “ Jack, do you think you have any show

to win with that bay horse?” I said, ‘‘ Yes, John, I have got
about $650 on him.”’ He replied, “ For God’s sake, is that

gor”. I-said,“! Yes; that: is so.) Hetreplied)— Wel aiienan
buy two or three tickets on him; if you can stand it to be
drowned, I can stand a little ducking.” When the bell rang
we paraded again and I having the outside position it put me
out into the soft, bad part of the track, where the horses had
been jogged. It made me a very bad place to score. He was
a big heavy horse and big gaited and went very low behind.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 79

This time I was out for business and wanted to get up and get
the word in the front rank. In coming up King tripped his
hind toe, knuckled over and nearly fell down. It hurt so bad
that he went three or four steps on three legs and fairly groaned
right out, and everyone said, *‘ Well, the jig is up with that big
horse.” But I asked permission of the judges for a few min-
utes’ time, which they granted. I sent one of the boys to the
stable for a bottle of liniment that I had prepared with a lit-
tle cayenne pepper in. I formerly used it across his back, as
he was not any too strong there on account of self-abuse, of
which [ had a great deal of trouble with him in warm weather.
I applied the liniment, which was pretty sharp, and in five
minutes he had forgotten the hurt. It seemed toconteract the
pain and he was all right. As I was about to get into the
sulky the General called out to me over the fence, ‘“ What did
he do, Jack, break his back?” I replied, ‘No, 1 guess not.”’
His reply was, ‘‘ He would if he had been my horse.” I got
in and we went up and came down two or three times to let
him get confidence again. Finally I went up and turned him
around in a business way and called him a few naughty names,
which he always seemed to know meant business, and we
came down a boiling and got the word. I just stepped around
those horses as though they were hitched. Deucalion staid
with me pretty well to the quarter pole, which was reached in
34 seconds, but the pace was too hot and he had to be ex-
cused. I stepped along to the half-mile pole in, 1:09 and
from there home as I pleased, actually in a jog in 2:921.
From that time on I had no more trouble, as I won the next
two heats easily in 2:23 and 2:223. Mr. Lewis, the manager
of Deucalion, and John Goldsmith held council together. Eli
Ager, myself and the other friends on the staff of King Al-
mont had another convention a little farther down the quar-
ter stretch, and it was easy to tell the successful financiers
from the countenances of the two different groups.

This was the last important event of King’s that year,
though I trotted him several times after that very successfully.

SO EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

The following year, 1884, I made a trip over East, as
usual, and trotted him his first race at Mystic Park, Boston,
June 10, where I met Ezra L., 2:214, the great horse from the
State of Maine, and the bay mare Amelia C., 2:194. They
were entered in the 2:22 class. The roan gelding Ezra L. was
very much thought of. There was nothing notable about
this race, only it was a good one, as we trotted five heats.
Ezra L. won the first heat in 2:261; King Almont the second
in 2:25, the third: in 2:25; .Ezra-L. winding “up: the race aay
winning the fourth and fifth heats in 2:224 and 2:29.

The next week, June 17, we met at Providence, R. I. I
was anxious to win, and McAloon, the driver of Ezra L.
seemed to be willing I should, consequently we put the
money on King Almont. There was in the race: Dan Smith,
9:211; Happy Thought, 2:221; Ezra L. and King Almont.
Ezra L. went off and won the first and second heats in 2:224
and 2:223. King won the next three and race in 2:244, 2:23
and 2:24. After the fourth heat there was a good deal of
squealing and kicking with the public. They complained to
the stand that Ezra L. was not being driven to win, and asked
for a change of drivers, but the judges could not see it in that
light, and let us go on, and I wound it up by winning the
fifth heat. By this time McAloon and I had got well ac-
quainted and had many discussions as to the merits of the
two horses. Mac though he had quite a little the best
horse, but I was not so sure about it. We talked it over, and
as usual in all branches of business, we both wanted to make
money, so we practically entered into an agreement that
when we trotted at Albany, N. Y., which was to be the next
week, June 28th, we would try and make a little sure money
for ourselves, as the boys call it. When we met at Island
Park, McAloon,the driver of Ezra L.;. Pat Sullivan, the
owner of Judge Davis, 2:183, who was one of the contending
horses, and a very good one he was too, and myself agreed to
play Ezra L., as we all thought he was the best horse. Mc-
Aloon declared he could drive him three heats better than

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 8I

9:20, and he never liked him better than he did that day. We
decided to play $500 apiece on the roan gelding, making
$1,500 in all. Sullivan and myself gave McAloon $500 each,
he was to put his $500 with it and play the entire amount on
his horse. He said he had a good man to do the business.
It usually takes the third party in such matters to attend to
the finances. We went out and commenced; Ezra L.
stepped off and won the first heat in 2:223. I was second,
Judge Davis not acting very well in that heat. The roan
horse won the second heat in 2:243. By this time I wanted
to know whether the business end was going off right. I
wanted to know if the money was in the box, so while the
horses were cooling out I tooka little stroll. I met Pat Sul-
livan’ and said to him, “ Have you seen Mac?” He said
“No; why?” I said, “ You better go and see him and find
out how much of that money is in the box, and find out how
we stand?” So he went over and had a talk with Mac. He
came back and said, “‘ The money is all in on Ezra L.,” but
said, “ Mac acts a little funny, he called to me when I came
away and said, ‘I am afraid old Feek is going to drive it out
on us; I don’t like things.’ Pat replied, “Why? that is
all right; I have done a good deal of business with Jack and
he has always done as he has agreed with me, and I have no
fears.” But Mac seemed to be uneasy, and Pat said, “ His
head did not seem to be just right.”

That talk began to make me a little suspicious that some-
thing was wrong, and brought me to a knowledge of my duty
to look after matters and find out what was going on. So I
walked up towards where they were selling pools and listened
to the voice of Frank Emerson, who was the auctioneer that
day. I found out to my surprise, notwithstanding Ezra L,
had won two heats and it was understood that he was to go
along and win the race, King was selling for full as
much as Ezra L., which was from thirty-five to forty dollars
apiece, and plenty of business at that. This did not look
quite right to me and I began to get considerably uneasy. I

82 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

never had done much business with Mac, but supposed him
to be all right. I could not find out anything, and Mac said
everything was correct, so when the bell rang for the third
heat we went out and got the word. I made up my mind to
know what was going on and see if possible how it was to be
done. I kept right along by the side of the roan gelding all
the way. I thought at times Mac was driving him a little
funny. He would at times take a strong hold of his head and
then let go of him suddenly, but he would not break, or did
not at least. By the time we had got to the three-quarter
pole I had satisfied myself what he was trying to do, and I said
to myself, if you get away with this you will be pretty clever.
So I got ready for any emergency—that is to say, fall over the
fence or stay on the track. As we came around the turn into
the home stretch Mac took a dying chance—pulled the roan
horse first to one side, then to the other, then let right go of
him suddenly and tapped him with the whip at the same time.
Then he broke. , Just then King Almont broke also, and a
very bad break it was, for he went onto one rein and went
clear over near the fence, and I thought he never would catch
and he did not until he got nearly to the wire. Ezra L. made
a very good break and went on and wontheheat. Then came
the clamor of the crowd. . The fact was the thing was set to
give me the double cross, as the boys call it. That was, for
Mac to pretend that the $1,500 was all put on Ezra L- and
that I drove it out on them. One of the boys that was in the
play, on Mac’s side of the house, and trying to help him get
away with the trick, got a little jolly and gave the whole thing
away, asthey do sometimes. The truth of the matter was,
Mac was to go and win the first heat and then let him break
and force me to win. The fact was, there was not a cent of
our $1,500 on the roan horse, but on the contrary the talent
on Mac’s staff had played $2,100 on the King. Mac had our
$1,000 in his pocket, which would make him a good winner
for one afternoon if he could get away with it, which he tried
to do very hard, but we did not let him. Pat Sullivan found

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 83

him in town that night and got his $500, and I was at the
track the next morning alittle after daylight, and when I got
my eyes on Mr. Mac I did not lose sight of him until I had
my $500 in my pocket, and I assure you I was considerably
relieved when I saw him put his hand in his pocket and pull
out my $500 with a rubber strap around it just as I had given
it to him the day before, it being in his pocket instead of the
pool box, as he had said it was during the race. When I got
my hand on that little bundle I was probably never any hap-
pier in my life.

We then sat down on the grass and he told me how the
job was put up and by whom. We had a good laugh over it
and parted friendly, Mac admitting it was a dirty job, but
said, “* We got the worst of it.”". The most laughable thing in
the whole transaction was on Doctor Appleby, who had been
let into the secret. He had put $450 on King, which was all
the money he had with him. A party standing near him at
the time we were trotting the third heat discovered the Doctor
was considerably interested in the race. The Doctor sat upon
the edge of the pool stand and every little while he would
call out to some one, “ How are they now?” meaning Ezra
L. and King, of course. They would say, ‘‘ Side and side.”
After another breath he would ask, “‘ Who isahead?” And as
they came around into the stretch the Doctor asked again,
“ How are they now—who is ahead?” Someone in the crowd
called out, ‘“ Ezra L. has broke,” and the Doctor’s countenance
brightened up and he smiled. Just then another man calls
out, ‘King Almont has broke.”’ At that the Doctor fell over
backwards into the pool stand and exclaimed, “ Then I am
broke.”

The last important event that King was engaged in was
at Hartford, Conn., August 28th, 1884; purse, $10,000; in
which there was Harry Wilkes, 2:131; Maud Messenger,
2:16; Captain Emmons, 2:194; Phil. Thompson, 2:163 ; Ade-
laide, 2:193; Felix, 2:183, and King Almont, 2:21}. In this
race I had no regular entry, and it required some sand to buy

84 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

an entry against the above horses. But I had any amount of
confidence in this horse when he was right, and was sure he
would get some of the money in most any class I started him
in, J. J. Bowen, of Boston;: had an ‘entry for) salé;-asiehis
horse had went amiss and I bought it at a little discount.
The entry cost him $1,000; I purchased it for $750; most
people thought I wascrazy. Itold the boys it was his money,
that is the King’s, for he always had a fair bank account, and
it would be a queer race if he did not get some of the money.
When the day of the race arrived the horses all appeared, and
seemed to be in first-class order with the exception of the
King. I did not like him very well as he had got the net off
several times lately and abused himself. Hewas consequently
weak in his hind parts and was not good by any means.
When the race was called and positions drawn for, Harry
Wilkes drew the pole; Maud Messenger, second ; King, third ;
Phil. Thompson, fourth; Captain Emmons, fifth; Adelaide,
sixth, and Felix outside. We done a great deal of hard scor-
ing. I don’t think I ever saw horses score as fast in all my
life as they did. King Almont could score as fast as any
man’s animal, so I had no fears about the send off.

Three of these horses, as every one knew, had more speed
than King, and my only hope was in outacting them or out-
staying the party if it came to a long race. I soon discovered
they were all anxious to have the best of the send off, as they
all came fast. We would all go well up the stretch except
Phil Thompson before we turned. He would come up behind
us and turn right in front. I came near running over him sev-
eral times with King. At one time as he turned I caught his
wheel with my thill and came near upsetting him, throwing
Sneider nearly out of his seat, but he grabbed into some part
of the harness and recovered himself, which brought great ap-—
plause from the grand stand, as it prevented an accident. I
was bound to get the word on even terms with the rest of
them, so if any of the fast ones should make a mistake I
could take advantage of it. We finally got the word at a

o)

very even start. As we got to the turn Thompson made a
break and swerved over towards me, forcing me onto Maud
Messenger, which made her break. She seemed to interfere
with Harry Wilkes and he broke, and I got the lead right on
the turn, followed closely by Adelaide, and went down the
backside with her on my wheel, and as we went into the upper
turn I took King back a little, so that Adelaide came up about
on even terms with me as we rounded into the stretch. Then
there was a discussion in the grand stand as to who would
win the heat. Some seemed to think it would be Adelaide,
others that it would be King. A man standing close by Gen-
eral Turner in the stand remarked that “any horse that Ade-
laide could stay with until she struck the stretch she could
beat home.”’ The General replied, ‘“ When she beats that big
stud home I shall believe it.” I won the heat very handy in
2:211, and I was perfectly contented then, as I had no hopes
of beating Harry Wilkes. He was a great favorite and was a
foregone concluded winner. Harry Wilkes reeled off the next
three heats in 2:17, 2:194 and 2:21. The boys laughed and
said lucky Feek. I said, “You can call it luck or whatever
you choose. I have got the money and that tells. Second
money was $2,500, netting me $1,750, which was a fair day’s
work.

This was the last race King trotted of any importance, as
he went amiss shortly after and was put in the stud, the re-
sult of which we will surely see after a while. There were
many times I could have given hima record in 2:18. Once, at
Providence, he went from wire to wire in 2:184, the last quar-
ter in 324 seconds, timed by as good timers as there are in the
country.

KITEFOOT, MAMBRINO, DUDLEY—THE LYSANDER’S SHIPMENTS OF HORSES
TO GERMANY AND AUSTRIA—TRACKS AND RACES ON THE CON-
TINENT.

The next really good race horse I had was Kitefoot,
2:171, that is to say a good money getter, she would always
cet some of it and would now and then wina race that would
do us some good. She had a record of 2:224 when she came
into my hands. Most every one said, “ Jack, she won't be
any good in her class. Cornell has had the cream of her,” and
I think he had, as she done Albert some good. I knew she
was in high company, but I thought she was a good race
mare from what I had seen of her, still she was lame in front
and always had been whenever I had seen her trot. She came
into my hands in the fall of 1885, after a hard season’s cam-
paign. I gave her a nice let up, removed her shoes, gave her
plenty of soft feed, and cooled her out well, gave her slow
work—sometimes a walk and sometimes a little jogging in a
tan-bark ring. I continued this until about the first of Janu-
ary, then I put on her shoes and commenced to jog her two
to three miles a day, and increased it to about six after a
time. Spring came and I commenced to work her on the
track. I did not like her, as she was not properly balanced,
was uneven in her gait,and could not seem to go much. I
commenced experimenting in shoeing her, putting on shoes
varying in weight from twelve to twenty ounces. I probably
shod her a dozen different ways, finally I decided that a four-
teen-ounce shoe and a four-ounce toe weight in front, and a
six-ounce shoe on off hind foot and an eight-ounce shoe on
near hind foot, the weight being nearly all on outside, was
what she needed. I experimented with her work also; she
was high spirited and full of vim, I thought she might need
more work, that is long, slow road work to take off that

feather edge, but on trial that did not seem to do, as it took
away her speed, and she did not do as well as she ought to,
so I shortened up her work from ten miles a day to four.
With this treatment she commenced to do better. I think
this is enough for a majority of horses when in training and
trying to develop speed, though there are exceptions, some
horses seem to require fifteen or twenty miles before they will
settle and trot, but such horses I don’t care for, because they
are not much good and won’t last long.

The first race in which I started Kitefoot was at Elmira,
N. Y., June 3, 1886, against Aleroy, 2:23, and Kit Sanford,
2:214. I had no idea of giving her a very hard race, as it was
her first that season and she and I also were not very well ac-
quainted up to that time. Aleroy won the race, the time be-
ing 2:26, 2:25 and 2:26. Kitefoot got second money. I was
very well satisfied with the race, as it was three good heats
over a half-mile track so early in the spring. On June 15 I
started her at Island Park, Albany, N. Y., against Windsor M.,
2:204, Merry Thought, 2:221, Charles Hilton, 2:174, and Prince
Middleton, 2:201. Windsor M. won the first heat in 2:223 ;
second heat in 2:23}. Kitefoot won the next three heats in
2:243, 2:25 and 2:233. This proved to me that my opinion of
her was correct, that she was a genuine race mare, and that
they did not have her beat until we got clear to the wire in
the last heat. If the heats got broken, the race was her mut-
fon sure. The next time started her was at, Phoenix, N. Y.,
July 7, over a half-mile track, against Star Durock, 2:25. It
was not much of arace, as she had nothing to go against, as
Durock could not go a bit. The time was 2:38, 2:36 and
9:293. The next place I started her was at Cleveland, Ohio,
July 28 and 29, against Belle Hamlin, 2:133, Manzanita, 2:16,
Spofford, 2:183, Longfellow Whip, 2:20, Orange Boy, 2:181,
and Lowland Girl, 2:18}. There was a great battle between
Manzanita and Belle Hamlin. They seemed to be the great
contending horses, and a great fight they had, too. Manzan-
ita won the first heat in 2:164, and the second in 2:191. Belle

fifth in 2:18$. I did not have speed enough for the party and
so I gave my mare as easy a race as I could. 1 got’ fourth
money out of it and Spofford third. The next week, August
4, we came to Buffalo, N. Y. There 1 met Spofford, 2:183,
Charles Hilton, ee Elmer, 2:224, Centella, a Reveille,
9:213, Echo Chief, 2:214, and Longfellow Whip, 2:20. We had
a good deal of talk and held council with Cravatenal Turner
and others as to the merits of the three horses—Spofford,
Hilton and Kitefoot. When we went out and commenced
war General Turner made up his mind his horse was good and
it was his day, and he better step Spofford right along and see
if he could not get the biggest end of the money, which he
did in three straight heats, in 2:20, 2:213 and 2:20. Hilton
second, Elmer third and Kitefoot cae There was not
much betting on the race, especially by the participants, as
neither of us had confidence enough in our horses to back
them.

The next week, August 12th, we met at Rochester, N. Y.
There was in that race, Spofford, Kitefoot, Elmer, Reveille,
Breeze, Medium, Mable A., 2:231; Nettie T., 2:221, and Mary
Powell, 2:223. I hardly thought Kitefoot was good enough
to back her against Spofford, so I took Mr. Cramer, the owner
of Kitefoot, one side and gave him my opinion of the race,
and advised him to play $500 for him and myself on Spofford,
as I thought him the better horse, and I wanted the owner to
have his part of the money if there was any in the race, as I
have always considered the owner of the horse I am driving

real opinion to on the race which we were interested in, and
I always want them to have their part of the play. When

what the owner knows about, he is working against his own in-
terest, and his success will be limited, and his days. will be

Cramer said ‘“‘ No, he would like to have the mare win if she
could,” so I did not play a dollar on the race, but went out
and done the best I could. Spofford won it in three straight
heats in 2:21, 2:221, and 9:194. I got second money, being
second every heat.

Wie next, week I laid up; the test.of the boys went To
Utica. I told Mr. Cramer to be sure and be at Island Park,
Albany, N. Y., August 26th, and have plenty of money with
him as possibly I might want to use him. I did not tell him
what I wanted of him, but simply said to be sure and be
there, as I had made up my mind I should have a good mare
that week. Spofford was now out of the 2:28 class and I
thought Kitefoot could beat the rest of them. I had made
up my mind we could make some money down there, and I
wanted Mr. Cramer to have his part of it. The time came
and Mr. Cramer was there, but told me he did not have much
money to play on the race. I told him I was going to play
some money and would declare him in with it. He had al-
ways told me he had never made much money with that mare
and did not have much confidence in making any on a horse
race. But I had a good deal of confidence in the mare with
that field af horses, which were Echo Chief, Silva M., Viking,
Elmer, Lizzie Wilkes, Don Carlos, Mary Powell, and Breeze
Medium.

whe evening: before the race I, met, Frank LL. Merdic,
took him by the arm and we walked up the street. I gave
him my opinion of the race and told him to play $1,500 on
Kitefoot and we would cut it up in thirds between himself,
Mr. Cramer and myself. I knew there would be good betting
in the forenoon at the club house, and I did not want to be
seen talking with Herdic; neither did I want to be seen play-
ing any money myself, as I thought it would make my mare a
big favorite, consequently I kept away from the pool box.

The betting was spirited. I was busy all the time with my
other horses, as I had a number there with me. Occasionally
some of my friends would come to me to know what I
thought—if I was backing the mare any. I told them no, I
had not bought a ticket on her and should not until [ had
seen them trot a little, for it was a good field of horses and I
thought it would be a hard race for her to win. Consequently
the betting was good and Frank got in $1,665 and got a little
more than even money against it—which was $165 more than
my order, but Frank said the betting was so good he could
not let it alone. I told him all right, to keep going, and be-
fore we ever got the word he had on $2,185. I told Mr. Cra-
mer we had on $1,600. He threw up both hands and nearly
fainted. He said, ‘‘ My God! Suppose she gets beat, what
will we do?” Ireplied, “Andrew, if she does, I willtake care
of the money part; but your old mare will probably be in
hock the balance of her days.” He said,.“‘ Jack, 1 guessiyen
are right,” and went off and sat down in the shade. Jimmey
Golden had Viking in this race and he thought well of him
and played quite a sum of money; at least, he sent word to
me by a friend that he had money enough on Viking to win
about $2,000, and wanted to know what I had to say about it.
I said, *“‘ Tell Jimmey it is everyone for himself todays sao.
W. came to me several times and wanted to know what I
thought about my mare in the, race. I told him as | had
others, that I] had not played any money myself and I thought
Elmer was a dangerous horse in the race. So he bought a
ticket or two on Elmer and stopped. He was too smart, and
would not have it that way. He watched the tactics and soon
sot right and put his money on Kitefoot. I was not very
well acquainted with Mac at the time, or I should have put
him right at the start, as he has been a great friend of mine
since and we have played thousands of dollars together. I
regard him as the greatest manager and best pool buyer that
ever went out ona race track, and he is one of the straightest
men I ever knew. Jimmey Golden says he can climb a tree

or jump on top of the fence and see more at the finish of a
heat than any four men he ever saw in his life. He can come
and tell you more after a.heat—who was trying to win and
who was not, what horses were tired and which were fresh—
than any dozen men you can find on the track.

Time was called and we paraded with our cattle, nine of
us in line. Positions I am unable to give at this date; suffice
it to say that after a few false starts we got the word, and
Frank Van Ness, who was driving Echo Chief, shot to the
front and won the heat quite handily in 2:213. I went a very
easy heat, not making a move for it or for a position. But
this did not change the betting much, as Kitefoot had got to
be quite a favorite by this time and the boys all saw I was
laying up the heat. We came out for the second heat and
after a few scores the word go was given and the bell tapped
by mistake at the same time. I heard the bell, but did not
hear the word. I of course thought it was a recall and pulled
up. Someone called out to me, “Go on, Jack, you have got
the word.” [ had actually pulled up and started to turn
around. By the time I got straightened out Echo Chief was
away off on the lead, fully fifteen lengths ahead of me, and I
hardly thought it was safe to let him win two heats, so I said
to the old mare, “ It is do or die.”’ It of course took me some
time to get my mare on her stride and get her agoing again;
in fact, she did not really get straightened away on a trot until
she got to the quarter pole. Then she really. set sail for the
Chief and closed on him inch by inch, and from the half-mile
pole to the wire I just drove her for dear life every inch of
tie road: “She came 'the ‘last half in 1:07. I caught Echo
Chief at the distance box and I was not long in making him
cough. I won the heat in 2:214, but I was alarmed about my
mare, for | had never had a horse that one such heat as that
would not take more out of them than even two or three
ordinary heats would, but she was not one of that kind, for
she did not mind the heat seemingly a mite. She cooled out
nice and said as plain as she could she was not tired a bit, but

Q2 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER, .

I could not take her word for that and went and told Herdic
what I had done and that he had better play back a little of
that money. By this time Kitefoot had got to be an immense
favorite. She would bring $50 and the whole field $6 or $7
against her. I think Frank played back $160. That covered
over $1,300 of the money. Then I thought we could afford
to lose the balance, if anything occurred and we got beat. To
my surprise she went out and won the third heat in 2:204, as
easy a mile as I eversaw her go in my life, and the fourth heat
in 2:214. We then went into town and after supper settled
up our matters with Mr. Herdic. Mr. Cramer, Mr. Herdic
and myself went up in my room, and when Frank began to
throw those $100 dollar bills around to Mr. Cramer and my-
self, Cramer said, “Is this all mine?” There was a little over
$600 for his share. I said to him, “Yes.” He looked up to
me and smiled and said, “ Well, Jack, there is a little money
after all in a horse race if it is rightly managed.” I think we
all rested well that night. We awoke in the morning in good
health and after breakfast went to the track and found Kite-
foot was not feeling sorry for what she had done the day
before.

I have omitted to say that after two races I left the
weights off, worked her a little and thought I liked her bet-
ter. I kept the old shoes on her, that is, re-set them until
they were well worn out, and this race showed the result of
my judgment. The less weight a horse can carry the further
they can go and will last longer.

The next week, September 2d, I started her at Hartford,
Conn., in the 2:23 class, in which was Breeze Medium, Don
Carlos, Echo Chief, etc, This; race was-not of much interest
with the exception of a little circumstance that took place in
the third heat. Don Carlos won the first heat in 2:233 ; Kite-
foot won the second in 2:21. Then I wanted a little money,
so I played the field against Kitefoot in the French pools and
the bookmakers for the heat. I supposed, of course, Don
Carlos, Breeze Medium, or some of them would go along a

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 93

respectable heat. The fact was, none of them could go a bit,
and I had very hard work in losing the heat to Breeze Me-
dium in 2:253. I had considerable money on the field and |
could not afford to drive my own money away, as it is not
human nature for a man to lose his money when he can save
it. But when I saw on the blackboard 2:25 my feelings
could be compared to that old story where a man was caught
in open daylight with a sheep on his back, and I was ashamed
in about the same measure.

When we came out for the fourth heat the judges invited
me to step up in the stand for a minute. That was just what
I expected, and thought they were justified in it, and I was
prepared for the occasion. As I went up them stairs and
faced the judges I put up my whip and said, “Gentlemen, I
am ashamed as a man can be, and there will be no more of
this.” They looked at each other and smiled. I suppose
they expected me to make some excuse for losing the heat in
such slow time. I think they laughed because I was so frank
as to confess my guilt, and said to themselves, ‘“‘ A guilty con-
science needs no aceuser.” My idea is, if a man does a mean
thing it is not necessary to tell a big lie to get out of it. The
easiest way and the best way is to come right to the front and
own the corn, and then try to do better. So it was in this
case. All the judges said, was “ Feek, go down, get behind
your mare and close this up,” which I did in 2:221 and 2:253,

The next week, September 8th, we went to Springfield,
Mass. I had a very easy race in the 2:23 class, in which was
Don Carlos, Breeze Medium and Silva M. Kitefoot won it in
three straight heats. Time, 2:224, 2:21 and 2:25.

The following week, September 14th, they gave a good
meeting at Mystic Park, Boston, A very nice gentleman, Mr.
Willis, the proprietor of Mystic Park, had just got possession
of the Park after the expiration of a lease of a number of
years to other parties, and he desired to celebrate the event
by giving good purses, thereby guaranteeing a better meeting
than had been given there in sometime. He gave $1,000

94 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

purses—one of them the 2:20 class. I have always liked the
bean eaters, they are good fellows and good betters. I de-
cided to go down and make them a visit, and thought I would
take Kitefoot along for expense money. So I entered her in
the 2:20 class, in which was De Barry, 2:191; Onward, 2:20},
and Pilot Knox, 2.19%. That was a race worthy of the gods.
I had made up my mind that De Barry would be the contend-
ing horse as Pilot Knox was not quite at himself, and On-
ward had not been going well enough to make his owners
have any confidence in him. .

The betting was a little quiet at the commencement, not
as good as I expected to see it, for De Barry had showed his
ability at Springfield the week before to trot in about 2:19,
while Kitefoot had never shown better than 2:204, and that in
only one heat. This led me to believe that De Barry would
be a strong favorite, and I had decided if he was, to play my
mare right well and went prepared, but he was not, and as I
said before, the betting was quiet. So I decided to go easy
the first part of the race, thinking Pilot Knox would be able
to carry De Barry the first heat about as fast as he would-want
to go. But when we got the word we all went up to the first
turn together and I thought I would go a piece with them
and feel De Barry out and satisfy myself whether I could beat
him or not, and then drop back and go easy. But as we got
to the turn Onward broke and a few strides farther on Pilot
Knox broke. . Then I saw at once there was no one to go
with De Barry but myself, so I stepped right along with him,
in the meantime trying to decide whether I would win the
heat or lose; but as we got along into the stretch nearing the
distance stand, I said to myself, I will go and win the heat ; I
can lose one later on. I moved up and won by about a neck
in 2:20%. But the judges did not see it in that way and gave
the heat to De Barry, which made me and a good many others
warm under the collar. I asked the judges why they gave
De Barry the heat. One of them replied, “ Because De Barry
got there first,’’ which I knew was not so, but was not going

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 95

into the stand to dispute with them. I was informed by one
of the other judges that it was on account of a break made by
Kitefoot coming up the stretch. That made it more satisfac-
tory with me, because she did make a riffle, but not enough,
in my opinion, to take the heat away from her. This made
De Barry a slight favorite, but not as much as I thought he
ought to be, he being a Boston horse and owned by a man
who always wanted his horses to win when they could. He
is a very popular man, a great road rider, and has generally
owned the best horses in Boston. They are driven by James
Golden, who always wants to win when it is in the pins. I
had up to this time done everything I could to lead the Bos-
tonians to believe that De Barry was the horse that day.

It had been my custom while in Boston and elsewhere,
that when my friend Morse was selling pools and I was _ play-
ing any money, I would give him the order and let him play
it for me, as you have to be very careful nowadays how you
do the business, or the public will be on to your scheme.
People do not bet their money on races as they used to.
They do not bet on their own judgment, but watch fora
pointer, that is, watch the betting fraternity and follow them.
The masses will follow one or two men that in their opinion
have found out all about the race. My tactics were, that by
staying away from the pool box entirely and not giving any
order to Morse, he would also think DeBarry was the horse to
win. But I was disappointed, as DeBarry was not as strong a
favorite as I thought he would be. By this time I had be-
come better acquainted with my friend S. W., and I got him
to assist me in watching the betting, and when it came right
to play the money for me. He had done a little business in
that line for me before, and had placed a little money on this
race up to this time, but not much. We went out for the
second heat and it was a fight between DeBarry and Kite-
foot every inch of the road—as we never was out of a lap
from start to finish. I out-finished him a little and won the
heat by about a neck in 2:204, and they gave it to me this

96 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

time. Then Kitefoot sold up even with DeBarry. In the
third heat Kitefoot did not get away very well, so 1 made no
effort for the heat, DeBarry won in 2:23, and then the boom
came. The Bostonians had now become satisfied that De-
Barry would win, and they made him a great favorite ; he
would bring $50 to $15, and the field from $7 to $10. I then
told S W. that the time had arrived to put on the money.
That I thought I could do the horse, and we would take the
chance,’ Mac done so, and it was good.

In scoring for the fourth heat we had some difficulty in
getting off. Finally someone said go, but it did not come
from the judges’ stand, and I knew it, but Golden did not, as
he kept his horse going, and that suited me, as my great
hopes in winning the race was in outlasting him. So | kept
going with him. The other two horses dropped back, but we
kept up a stiff clip down the backside. Goldenasked me sev-
eral times if we had the word. I said I did not know, and we
kept going until we got into the stretch, and then some peo-
ple ran out and said we had not got the word, and Golden
pulled up. I jogged along on up and passed the stand in
about 2:26. When we came back to the stand and got out,
the judges ordered us “to mount, go up and score down.”
Some of the drivers did not want to do so, asked for a recess,
and refused to start again; but the judges would not allow it,
and considerable discussion took place. Finally we all got in
our sulkies, went up and came down for the word, and in this
heat De Barry got away-a little the best of it, in fact, Pilot
Knox also got away a little ahead of me. This heat satisfied
me how J. J. Bowen, who was driving Pilot Knox, had p!ayed
his money. He got me in the pocket and kept me there about
to the three-quarter pole, where his horse broke and let me
out. When I got out of the pocket I moved up to De Barry
and carried him so fast that half way down the stretch he
broke and I won the heat in 2:22. It was then night and the
judges postponed the race until the next day at 12 o'clock.
By this time the race had got very interesting, and as the

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 97

boys said, it looked as if it was for blood, and Jimmey and |
were both out for the money.

That night there was nothing left undone as far as good
care and nursing was concerned in doing up my mare for the
night, and, as she was a little ailing in front I removed her
shoes, and after a thorough soaking out in hot water I put her
front feet into poultices made of scalded bran and raw onions
pounded up and mixed with it, and left them on her all night.
In the morning her feet looked like a piece of chicken meat,
and she walked out as limber as an eel. After breakfast I
took her to the shop and got a new piece of Kersy, put un-
der her shoes, as I always used that on her to take off the blow,
did not let it cover the sole of her foot, but just used it under
the shoes, and I knew it helped her a great deal, as it will any
horse that is a little touched in front. This mare could not
stand any sole pressure, she wanted all the bearing on the wall
of her foot, and could always go from two to three seconds
better with the Kersy under her shoes than she could without
it, and yet leave that cloth entirely over the sole of her foot
and she could not go a bit.

A little after 11 o’clock I put the harness on her and went
out and jogged her two miles and moved her along a mile in
2:50; then I came in, and after cooling her out a few minutes
I put the boots on her and moved her along a mile in 2:30;
then I took her in and cooled her out, and when the bell rang
she and I were ready for any emergency that might arise.

Jimmey Golden seemed to have perfect confidence in De
Barry, for as we went down onto the track to decide the mat-
ter, I said to Golden, “How do you feel?” He replied,
“ Never better,” and, “I think I will do you.” And, by the
way, Jimmey is a man who don’t need much telling—he looks
after matters and his horse about as closely as anyone can,
and when he gets through with an animal no one else need
expect to improve him much. Wecommenced and scored a
few times unsuccessfully. The judges tapped the bell and
called us all to the stand and ordered us to go up to the hun-

98 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

dred yard distance and score down with me, as I had the pole,
and not come ahead of me undera penalty. We came down
with the other three horses head and head. I was a little
back, say a length, but they gave the word and De Barry
went right in and took the pole and my friend Bowen had me
in the pocket again. But it did not'do him much good, for
his horse broke at the turn and let me out, and I went right
at De Barry for dear life. We went head and head until
within fifty feet of the wire, neither one making a break or
misstep. From there I pulled the whip on Kite and won the
heat by about a saddle-girt in 2:18%. And then came the
howl. De Barry’s friends made a great kick and claimed the
heat, but the judges would not have it and gave me the heat
and race. I don't think I ever drove a race in my life where
there was more feeling manifest from start to finish, and I
don’t believe some of the Boston people have got over it to
this day.

The next and last race I trotted her that year was at
Goshen, N. Y., October 15, over a half-mile track in the free-
for-all against the great Red Wilkes gelding Phil. Thompson,
9:164, and Walnut, 2:194. It was a very cold, raw day. The
track was very hard. Kitefoot was considerably sore in front
and she did not like to go over that hard track. But Thomp-
son was so great a favorite on account of his showing himself
such a good horse on a half-mile ring, that Jimmey Gold-
smith, who was driving Walnut, and myself thought it would
be well to take a little-of that short end and just go out and
give that grey gentleman a horse race forthe money. Jimmey
thought he could carry him the first heat about as fast as he
would want to go. So we decided that Jimmey should go
out and give him a fight for the first heat and I would lay up.
He done so; Walnut was not much good that day and did
not get very near Thompson after we got the word, and the
grey horse won the heat very easily in 2:254. The next heat
the track was so hard that Kite hated to commence, andI got
a very poor send off. I was behind and my mare on almost

any gait but a trot. Thompson shot away from me like an
arrow, opening a gap of fully ten lengths to the quarter pole,
but the old mare got warmed up by that time and commenced
to close on him, and finished close up in 2:22. I was consid-
erably dissatisfied with the send off and told the judges so,
and insisted on their sending me away on a trot next time.
One of the judges looked at me and said, ‘“ Jack, your mare is
so sore she can’t hit a trot, it’s no use.” But I insisted there
was, and said, ‘“ The race is not over, and I will do him yet if
you will let me away on a trot and give me any kind of a
send off.” JI went and got some hot water and .a soaking-tub
aud put Kite into it in front, and covered her up warm, I
did not rub her body any to speak of, just straightened her
hair and rubbed her legs thoroughly. I kept her in the hot
water until the bell rang—in fact, harnessed her and put the
boots on her while she stood in the tub. I brought her out
and hitched her as quick as possible. Jimmey Goldsmith had
drawn his horse Walnut and Thompson was out there waiting
forme. I found that my mare was greatly improved. We
went right up and came down for the word, and I think we got
it the first time to a good start. Thompson took the lead,
but I kept close to his wheel and when near the three-quarter
pole went right upto his head. There Sneider commenced to
use his whip. I said to him, ‘ Don’t punish your horse, for it
will be no use; Iam going easy.’’ When we rounded into
the stretch I moved along and won the heat in 2:214, which
was the fastest heat ever trotted in Orange county, N. Y.,
and they chalked it upon the blackboard to that effect, and
Kitefoot was loudly applauded. The race was then virtually
over, as Thompson was done, as well he might be, for he had
went three corking heats. I won the next in 2:281 and the
fifth heat and race in 2:30,

She went into winter quarters in good order and I win-
tered her as I did the previous year. In the spring she came
out in good shape for her as she was not a mare that could go
out and show you much speed without preparation. We all

100 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

know some horses always have their speed, but she was not one
of that kind, her speed came with her work, and she had to be
properly conditioned before she was at an edge. I did not
pay any attention to trials with her, just simply gave her the
proper work and care, and when the race came she was ready
to do her part and give you a good race for the money. This
proved to be the case in her first race in the spring of 1887,
which took place at Hartford, Conn., June 14th. She was en-
tered in the 2:19 class, in which was J. B. Thomas, 2:18],
Billy Button, 2:184, and Libby S., 2:194. This race was quite in-
teresting, as the public had several surprises and disappoint-
ments. Libby S. was supposed to be the winner beyond a
doubt as she had on May 20th at Belmont Park, Philadelphia,
trotted a great race and made a record of 2:194. My mare
was high in flesh and I did not care to give her a hard race.
I guess Turner felt about the same about Button. Libby S.
went out and won the first heat in 2:194. That made her so
strong a favorite that the betting came toastand still. S. W.
and I had played a little money on the short end because it
was cheap, and I think Turner had done the same, as we said
to each other, ‘ We can’t lose much and something may hap-
pen,” and there did'in the second heat, for Libby S. threw a
shoe and was distanced. Thomas won the heat in 2:203, and
then he was about as big a favorite as Libby S. had been pre-
viously. The Libby S. delegation was trying to get their
money back on him. He won the third heat in 2:203. In
the fourth heat the three horses were well bunched and I was
willing on my part that Thomas should win the heat and race,
but he tired soon after we rounded into the stretch and
Turner moved up and won the heat in 2:23. When we came
out for the fifth heat I said to the boys, “ It is now or never ;
I am going to move up and see if I can win a heat.”. So
when we got the word I went right at Button and Turner
and they showed fight; the heat was very exciting, first one
showed in front and then the other, but I won by halfa
length in 2:243.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. Io!

After Turner won the fourth heat with Button he became
quite a favorite, and my winning this heat with Kitefoot was
another disappointment to the people. But it did not change
the betting, as the time was slow. I did not feel like putting
much money on Kitefoot, as I did not consider her in condi-
tion to stay up and trot a bruising race. I have many times
seen horses knocked off for a whole year by giving them a
hard race early in the season, especially if it was the first one.
But we got a little at loggerheads and both wanted to win,
and when I looked over matters I found it made a difference
in my favor of between three and four hundred dollars, if I
won the race, so I decided to go out and fight for it to
the bitter end, and it looked as though Turner’ felt the same
way, for he drove as I have always seen him drive when he is
out forthe money. But I won the heat by a length in 2:241.
When we came out for the seventh heat I overheard Turner
say, ‘God, how I would like to win this next heat and keep
them guessing a little longer,’ and if you ever saw a man put
on the war paint and spit on his hands it was Turner driving
Button in that seventh heat. He lifted, hurrahed, pumped,
pushed and crowded Button every inch of the road, and as
both horses were good actors and it was getting nearly dark,
they both indulged in many a jump and neither of us tried to
break the lines, when they broke; in fact, it was a sort of a
go-as-you-please heat, but I won it by a short neck in 2:933,
and as we came back to the stand and got out I spoke and
said, “I am glad this is over.’ The General replied, “So am
I, and you bet these horses are, too.”

I have neglected to say in the first part of this race for
three heats I was laying up, just barely getting inside the dis-
tance flag. Consequently this race did not injure my mare
much, as she was only driven the last three heats and they
were slow. In my judgment it is the pace that kills and in
this race I believe that one heat in 2:20 would have done her
more harm than the three slow heats I gave her. The next
morning after the race she was bright as a dollar, not seeming

102 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

to be any worse for the race. We had of course given her
extra good care during the night, as I felt as though she had
paid for it with her own money.

The next week, June 24th, I started her at Island Park,
Albany, in the 2:19 class, in which was Billy Button and Elec-
tric, 2:20. This race was not of much interest as Billy But-
ton or Electric did not seem to be right that day. Button
won the first heat in 2:251, and Kitefoot won the next three
heats and race in 2:28, 2:224 and 2:241, which were just nice
repeats for the mare and put her in good form for her race the
next week, June 29th, at Poughkeepsie.

This looked as though it would be a grand race and a
great betting race. Kenilworth was in and reported to be
going fast. J. B. Thomas, report said, had went a mile
over Fleetwood in 2:19 the week before. The race at Hart-
ford had seemed to have conditioned and done him good. He
certainly seemed to be in the pink essence of form. There
also started Electric, 2:20; Spofford, 2:194, and Lady Bare-
foot.

In the betting Kenilworth would bring as much and some-
times more than all the rest. There was considerable money
‘played in that way. When the bell rang they all appeared on
the track and warmed up, but Murphy seemed to think that
Kenilworth was not just right and concluded the race would
do him more harm than good, so he drew him, That made a
difference with me financially. Kenilworth being drawn the
pools on him were declared off; that made the pools very
light, as the largest end of the money was on Kenilworth. I
had played my mare some before Kenilworth was drawn, as I
had great confidence in her ability to do that party, though
she had not shown a mile better that 2:221 that spring, The
betting now came to a stand still. People did not seem to
know just what to do. They seemed to be waiting to see the
horses go a heat. We went off and I laid up the first heat to
see who could and who could not go. Was in hopes the bet-
ting would improve after the first heat, providing it was won

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 103

in good time. J. B. Thomas won the heat easily in 2:21}, as
there was no horse that could make him go faster. This heat
did not seem to excite the people any, so I made up my mind
to go along and win it. I concluded first money was about
all I would get out of it. When we got the word in the sec-
ond heat I moved along up to J. B. Thomas, and before I had
got to the half-mile pole I made up my mind [had quite a job
on my hands to beat him. Every time I moved up he seemed
to slide away from me. I thought he could go just about as
fast as he liked, but I kept hammering away at him, as Kite-
foot was a mare that I could commence to drive as soon as I
cot the word and kept at it all the way, and seemed to go a little
faster every time I spoke to her or touched her with the rein or
whip. I want to tell you that kind of horses are very scarce.
J. B. Thomas went to the half-mile pole in 1:08. I was about
a length and a half back of him, but as we neared the three-
quarter pole I had crept up and lapped him. When we fairly
straighted into the stretch I was about on even terms with
him. By this time I was satisfied I could beat him the heat.
Then the thought struck me, ‘** Had I not better let Thomas
win the heat,” for I knew it would be quite a little faster than
the one before and might help the betting. Little did I think
it would be trotted better than 2:18 or he would have won it,
I assure you, for it would have been just a little easier to have
lost the heat than to have won it. I went all the way to the
wire undecided. First I would think, I’ll take the heat, then
again I’ll lose it; but finally I said to myself, “Tl win it,”
and gave my mare a crack with the whip and done so, But
in less than two minutes I was sorry for it. Myson wasthere
and had my watch. He timed the heat and was the first one that
got tome. As I dismounted he said, “ Pa, pa, that was a fast
heat ; it was better than 2:17.” I said, “ Pshaw, young man,
you have not got that right.”’. And I didn’t think he had, for
I had never seen the mare go a smoother mile in my life, and
let me tell you, that is when they go fast miles. You cannot
have much friction and trot in 2:16 or 2:18. I looked at his

104 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

watch and he had it 2:168. By that time several others had
sot to me and said, “ Jack, you are out of your class unless
you have some friend in the stand.” Then one of my men,
Gus Smythe, stepped up and said, “ Fred is right; I have got
it 2:164, and you better get for the stand or you will get a
mark that you will not like.” So I started for the judges and
begged and pleaded, almost on my knees; and I guess I would
have humbled myself in that manner if I could have got them
to have hung out 2:181, but they said 2:174 was the outside
watch, the others having it faster, and some did have it 2:16.
They put it out 2:174. That did me much harm, as I wanted
to trot the mare through the big Circuit in the 2:19 class, and
as it was it put me in the free-for-all. From this out I won
the race easy, as Thomas could not make me go a heat faster
than 2:21 and 2:28.

The next week I brought her home and trotted her at
Pheenix July 4th fora little sure money against Sally C.,
2:171, pacer. That done her more harm than the money done
me good, as the track was very hard and rough. It seemed to
sore her, and it took me two or three weeks to get her over
it. It was a very poor half-mile track, and consequently it
was slow time,she winning the race in 2:28, 2:27 and 2:25.
But I entered her down the line in the free-for-all class, com-
mencing at Cleveland July 28 and 29, against Charles Hilton,
9:174, Arab, 2:15, Maud Messenger, 2:163, and J. O., 2:174.
This was a hard race. J. Q. won the first heat in 2:174, the
third heat in 2:18, Arab winning the second heat in 2:184,
fourth in 2:173, and the fifth and race in 2:164. Charles Hil-
ton got third money and Kitefoot fourth.

The next week, August 5th, we came to buffalo, where I
met Arab, J. Q., Charles Hilton, and Phil. Thompson, 2:16.
Arab again winning the race, this time in three straight heats
in 2:174, 2:19 and- 2:18%. I just being able to beat’ Phil.
Thompson for fourth money.

The next week, August 21st, we again tried conclusions
with the same field of horses, except Bessie, 2:17, who joined

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 105

us there. My mare had improved some by this time. This
race was strung out and kept the boys guessing about all the
afternoon. Arab won the first heat in 2:18. The race looked
a little checkered as the betting fluctuated between Arab and
J. Q. as favorite—it would be first one and then the other,
but J. Q. finally pulled it off in 2:18, 2:171 and 2:18}. I got
third money as I was able this time to beat Charles Hilton.

The next week, August 19th, at Utica, I began to like my
mare a little better and put some money on her at long odds
im ner favor) We hadi quite: astough race between | JO,
Charles Hilton and myself. Phil. Thompson was also in, but
was not much good. Charles Hilton won the first heat in
2:201, Some time in‘the forepart of the race I thought J. Q.
was giving me the shoe, that means was willing I should win
it. I said, “ All right, boys, I am willing to take it and Ihave
room in my clothes for the money.” But later on I did not
think J. Q. could beat me if he wanted to for Splan drove
him in the deciding heat with that old-fashioned war whoop
of his from start to finish, but he never came any nearer than
my wheel. I won the race, trotting the second heat in 2:193.
The third heat was won by J. Q. in 2:20. Kitefoot won the
fourth heat in 2:214, and the fifth in 2:183.

There was quite a feeling over the race as some people
thought Splan was not trying to win it with J. Q. Counselor
Crawford and Splan had a hot discussion, the Counselor
seemed to think Splan did not treat him just right, and de-
clared right there he would get even with Splan the first
opportunity, which he did the following week, August 27th,
at Albany. When we arrived at Island Park we held a coun-
cil of war the morning of the race. We decided to go out in
the afternoon and try to beat J. Q., who was quite a favorite
in the betting at the club house in the forenoon. Four of
us—General Turner, Knapp, McCarthy, Counselor Crawford
and myself—thought we were capable of doing J. Q. and his
talented driver. The Counselor was appointed master of cere-
monies, as he knew J. Q. and John Splan better than any one

106 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

else of the party. He said he would give more to down that
pair than anything else he knew of just at that particular
time. He gave each of usa particular part to do and when
to do it. In drawing for positions Charles Hilton drew the
pole, J. O. second, Astral third, Spofford fourth, Kitefoot out-
side. Ifa horse ever got haseracted it was J. Q. Splan al-
ways gave him a long score, went well up the stretch half-way
to the three-quarter pole nearly every time. We would go
up to the first distance and when J. Q. would get under full
headway we would turn and come down with him, but some
one of the horses would be on a break or out of his place
every time, consequently we would not get the word. My
mare was in fault many times, being on the outside of the
track and it was very hard. She was also a little shy of the
tent over the pool stand. The judges got out of patience ~
with us, called us to the stand and gave us some terrible turn-
ing overs, but nevertheless we had our orders and were sworn
to obey them. In this way we scored seventeen or eighteen
times before we got the word. The judges finally called me
up, seeming to think I was to blame, and reprimanded me
pretty severely and wanted to know what we were trying to
do. I endeavored to bring a smile over their faces by saying
I did not know what the rest were trying to do, but for my
part I was out for the money. But no smile appeared, for
they had exhausted their good nature. We finally got the
. word and about thirty rods below the stand Charles Hilton
broke and ran right head and head with J. QO. clear to
the first turn, which is a long distance from the stand on this
track. When they got there the Counselor seemed to forget
to turn. He kept going out until he got J. Q. nearly to the
outside of the track and then he broke, too, and Astral slipped
through on the inside and opened a big gap. When J. Q.
caught he cut loose after Astral with a wonderful burst of
speed and overhauled her at the three-quarter pole. There
J. Q. broke again and Astral won the heat in 2:19. The
General and myself had went a very easy heat, both laying

up. The heat had very evidently told on J. Q., which, of
course, was according to our calculation.

The judges distanced Charles Hilton for fouling J. O.,
but the Counselor was still on the field in command, and did
not leave a stone unturned which would be in our favor. He
said, “ Let Astral carry him another heat and that will do
him. Keep putting the money on Kitefoot and lay her up
one more heat.” We obeyed orders. Knapp & Splain fought
out the next heat on the same line, J. Q. winning the heat by
an eyelash in 2:21. Then the Counselor said. ‘*Go and look
at him; if he can beat any one from this out Iam willing to
lose my money.” He called Frank Van Ness to go and look
at the horse, as he had formerly handled him and knew him
well. Frank agreed with the Counselor that he was done. In
the next heat the General and I both moved, and it was a
tough heat all the way, but at the distance box J. QO. gave it
up and we both beat him, I getting to the wire first, but the
judges after a little consultation, gave the heat to eee on
account of a break my mare made in the stretch; time, 2:21.
Then the trouble was over, for I won the fourth, fifth and
sixth heats in 2:223, 2:223 and 2:221. But after the fourth
heat the judges seemed to be all at sea without a compass;
they did not appear to know what was goingon. They called
Splan in the stand and talked of taking him out. Crawford
and James Temple, the owner of J. Q., were in the stand at
the same time, and it appeared as though they were about to’
put on the gloves, but the judges stopped them, and as they
came out of the stand Splan said to me, “‘ Iam having a pretty
tough day of it with you people getting my money and the
judges seeming to think’ ] am not trying to win; I hardly
know how I will come out.’ But as that old saying is,
“There is always a calm after a storm.’’ The storm passed
and we got the money.

I don't believe the judges to this day are satisfied with
the race. They still think Splan was not trying to win, but
we know he was, and that he and Jimmy Temple lost their

108 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

money, for they had no chance to get it off, as after the third
heat the Counselor and my friend McNally made Kitefoot
such a favorite that they could not hedge their money out.

The next week we all went to Hartford, Conn., and the
same field started, except Bessie, 2:174, took the place of As-
tral. We commenced to put some money on Spofford, think-
ing he could beat J. O., but he was not quite himself and the
betting was so bad we did not get but very little on him. .
Kitefoot won the first heat in 2:20, Spofford the fourth in
2:21, and J. Q. the second in 2:18, third in 2:171, and the fifth
and race in 2.211. Kitefoot second, Spofford third and Charles
Hilton fourth money.

This virtually ended Kitefoot’s career on the turf, as I
did not start her at Springfield the next week. She was in-
jured in a railroad accident on the way to New York the fol-
lowing week after the Springfield meeting, which ended her
career on the turf, and she has been retired for breeding
purposes.

Mambrino Dudley came into my hands in 1877. If I
could have had him before he had been through so many
hands and seen so much breeding service, I think I could have
driven him as fast a mile as any stallion ever went. I think if
there ever was a horse that could go a two-minute gait on a
trot he could. I think he will be the sire of a family of trot-
ters when his colts get age. The day I gave him his record of
2:193 was a cold, raw day—the second of November. I con-
sidered the day and slow-track was at least against him three
or four seconds. His breeding is superb and the gentleman
that owns him, General B. F. Tracy, proprietor of Marshland
Stock Farm, may well be proud of him and his progeny, for
as surely as blood tells will he place his sons and daughters
high up in the temple of fame, successful competitors with
the best and bluest blooded animals in the land.

The Lysander family, of which I have had considerable
experience, has carried me through many a hard-fought battle
successfully, as fast performers, and profitable campaigners

financially—Lysander Boy, Lysander Maid, Lysander Girl,
Wm. Kearney and Watt completes the list. They are not a
family that develop speed young, families differ very much in
that respect. Watt could only show about a two-forty clip
until he was eight years old. Then he began to show signs
of more speed and I began to think I would get paid for
waiting. When he was seven I won two good races with him
and money enough to pay his oat bill. In 1888 he was a gen-
uine race horse, reducing his record to 2:243, and earned me
money enough to buy a pretty fair horse, wagon and harness,
a few barrels of flour and several tons of coal. In the fall I
sold him for a pretty fair price to parties in Germany, where
he will contend for honors and wealth for his owner. I ship-
ped him on the 9th of January, 1889, in company with James
G., 2:201, and Jose S., 2:223. They are in the same stable as
Van Buren Girl, 2:251, Lynwood, 2:204, Blue Belle, 2:20, Julia
C., 2:233, Bob Johnson, 2:274, and 2:224 to saddle, Pat Demp-
sey, 2:271, Tourist Boy, 2:321, Jessie Hammond, 2:25}, Trou-
ble, 2:243, Lysander Belle, 2:331, Lysander Girl, 2:35}, Ada
E. C., 2:28, and four brood mares with colts by their side. All
of which I have purchased and shipped to one party, and he
has had the best stable in Europe, in the past four years.

To another party in Austria, who has always been the
leading man on the turf in his vicinity, I purchased and
shipped Amber, 2:251; Francis Alexander, 2:19; Young Am-
ber and three brood mares. It is not any easy matter to send
horses so long a trip by rail and water and have them land at
their destination in good order. I always take a good deal of
pains in shipping them. I load them very different from the
way they formerly were shipped. I always send them by the
German Lloyd stedmers, which is as good a line as ever
crossed the ocean. After engaging passage for my horses I
look up the stevedore, that is the man who has charge of
loading that line of vessels. I have him assign me a good
roomy place to arrange my stalls, which are built on the steer-
age deck where steerage passengers are accommodated emi-

erating to the United States. Mr. H. B, Kirkham, the ship
carpenter, has always done my work as he thoroughly under-
stands the business and is very reliable and will follow in-
structions. I have him build a regular box-stall about ten feet
square, with a good feed manger, and an extra partition with
a groove in each end to slide in the boards to make a narrow
stall, just wide enough for the horse to stand up in. I put a
heavy pad in front and another behind, with two heavy pieces
of canvas about six inches wide with ropes at each end to
make what we call a sling—one to go just in front of the hind
legs and the other back of the front legs. The ropes being
attached above the horse and being drawn up just close
enough to keep the horse from falling down in case of a storm
or rough weather. But in pleasant weather the horse is al-
lowed the liberty of the box-stall, with plenty of nice fresh
sawdust, changed every day, fora bed. I have had a number
of horses that went the entire voyage in the box-stall, not
having to be put in the narrow stall or sling, and they have
actually gained from twenty-five to thirty pounds on the trip.
We always put on board plenty of good hay in bales, say one
hundred and twenty-five pounds to a horse; oats, soft feed,
usually fine ships. We usually feed very lightly on grain the
first few days out, giving them plenty of hay; then if the
weather is good and the horse keeps well and has a good ap-
petite, we increase the feed to about what they have been in
the habit of having at home.

1 have never had but one horse that anything happened
to. That was Jessie Hammond, seven years old, and one of
the cleverest, best dispositioned horses I ever knew. He was
a grand, good race horse with a record of 2:25}. I put him
aboard as I always had the other horses. He seemed to be
all right and in good health, was not at all nervous or fright-
ened when we put him in the box to lower him down into the
hold, but as soon as the vessel got up steam and moved away
fromthe dock he commenced to tremble, puff and blow and
kept it up for three days. He would not eat a mouthful of

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. WM ih

feed or drink a drop of water and died on the fourth day out
with nervous prostration.

I have had trouble with other horses in loading them and
putting them in the box. It is rather a frightful place to put
a horse, as they are lowered down three stories into the hold.
But when out of the box in the stall they seem to be as quiet
and contented as if in their own stable on the land. In fact,
some will go the whole trip, if the weather is good, as well as
could be wished ; will lie down and get their rest, get up and
walk around, eat and drink as usual, and when taken out of
the vessel at Bremen it could not be told by their looks. that
they had been shipped a mile. Others will act dull and stupid,
will not lie down and will stand up the entire trip; they will
not eat or drink. It will take such horses from one to two
weeks to recover from the voyage. Some seem to lose the
use of themselves and are stiff and sore all over. One three-
year-old colt I sent over had a good passage, was only ten
days on the route. When they took him off the vessel at
Bremen he did not seem to have a joint in his legs and could
not lift his feet high enough to step over an inch board. He
staid in that condition about forty-eight hours before he
seemed to have any use of himself. They thought he was en-
tirely ruined, but he recovered in about two weeks all right
and seemed to be as well as ever and has made a good horse.
He was a colt by Amber, called Young Amber, bred by Wal-
ter Pendergast of Phoenix. I sold him to Mr. Smith of
Vienna, Austria, who bought Old Amber and trotted him
through Europe so successfully, as he was the best horse across
the water for the first years after he arrived.

I have had a number that have landed there, their desti-
nation being about eight hundred miles from the seaport, that
were fit to trot a race in ten days after their arrival.

It is surprising to know that these horses have done as
well as they have when we take into consideration the tracks
which they have to go over. Most of the tracks are of grass.
They just stake them out with poles, setting them endways

12 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

in the ground about thirty feet apart, laying out their track
in that way being oblong shape.

Very few of their races are like ours—three out of five.
They go dashes of a mile and a quarter or one and three-
quarters, and from that to four miles. As they only go one
heat, they often trot a horse two races in one afternoon.

In classing their horses they do not pay any attention to
record, but handicap them according to their speed, giving
one say thirty rods the start of a faster animal. In a twoand
a half mile race they may give one horse a start of a quarter
of a mile over another, which is discretionary with the judges.
Many times when seven or eight horses start in one race no
two horses start from the same place, they will be strung out
with a man to each horse with a flag and start all at the same
time at the drop of the several flags.

Another feature of their peculiar custom is, they will al-
low one man to start several horses in the same race by entering
them in different people’s name. A man might have one fast
horse and one slow one, thinking his slow one might get so
much benefited from the handicap that if he did not win first
money with the fast horse he might second, and get first with
the slower one. I know one case where my friend started
Bob Johnson and Blue Bell in the same race. Bob Johnson
had so much the start that he had the race of two anda fourth
miles won before Blue Bell got half-way to the wire.

I can only compare some of their tracks there to our
steeplechase courses here—through the field, up and down the
hill, round the sap bush and home again. All the difference
I can see is that their horses do not have to go over the fences,
ditches and water jump as steeplechasers do.

They are now building some good tracks on the Ameri-
can plan. My friend Stein tells me they are building one at
Berlin. I sent them a Griffin track machine, which is the only
one built which will put a track in perfect order. They expect to
have some great races there this year. One of their purses
amounts to $7,000.. They ought to have a large entry of

good horses, as Billy Reading of Cuba has been to Kentucky
buying several fine ones to send by Charles Dickerman when
he returns. They are going to a man who lives in France who
purchased last year Mollie Wilkes and Misty Morning. They
will have to contend with several good ones from my ship-
ments, one of them the chestnut mare Blue Belle. Everyone
here that was acquainted with her knows that she was one of
the greatest race horses that America ever produced. Ken-
dall, her driver, and Blue Belle, had the reputation of being
the greatest pair of half-mile track gocrs that the world ever
saw. They were a terror to all competitors.. The last season
she was here they were barred out of the Vermont Circuit,
where she had been in the habit of going every year and get-
ting all the money. If she had not been expelled from the
National Association for trotting out of her class and under
an assumed name, $10,000 would not have bought her, but
she was no good for trotting purposes here on that account.
I bought her for half of that amount. Her being disqualified
here did not affect her trotting career in Europe, as they have
not framed any regular trotting rules as yet over there. She
has been a terror to all other competitors in France, Austria,
Italy and Germany, and has beat all the other horses im-
ported, even those that have cost double her purchase price.
She has won every big purse that she has started for, conse-
quently it has been a great card for me, and has been the
means of my selling a number of other horses. But it is a
pretty hard matter to find another Blue Belle in this country
or any other, for she was always ready and willing to trot a
good race about four times a week over any kind of track and
all kinds of weather. I am creditably informed that her
owner has refused $12,000 for her. She has won over $20,-
000 for him in the last two years and a half.

Van Buren Girl has been equally as good a race mare, but
not as fast, as Blue Belle, and has earned him fully as much
money, having one more season’s campaigning to her credit,
he having bought her a year prior to Blue Belle’s advent on

114 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

European tracks. He would not sell her to day for double
the money he gave me for her.

Pat Dempsey also has been a grand, good race horse and
has earned a good deal of money for his owner. He was sold
for $3,500 to parties in South America, which is a great deal
more money than I received for him. In fact, he has had
chances to sell all the horses I have purchased for him at very
large profits, which I am very glad to hear, as he is a very
nice gentleman, plucky and full of nerve force, and deserves
all the good luck which has come to him in his trans Atlantic
horse ventures, for I have sold him many thousand dollars’
worth of horses—and he never sees them for a long time after
he has paid for them—and there has never been any kicking
or fault-finding.

_ The most important and essential point to be looked
after and studied is the foot. It makes no difference how
good or how speedy a horse you have, if his feet is not right
he will not and cannot trot to any mark which will be a credit
to himself or his trainer. The foot is the foundation of the
horse and has to be properly shod to protect and keep it
good. I have often heard it remarked by people that if some
particular way of shoeing was effectual in remedying some
defect of a bad foot, it also ought to be successful in protect-
ing and keeping in order a goodor perfect foot. For instance,
a bar shoe is a protection to the quarters if it is properly put
on, the bearing is on the frog which was designed by the con-
struction of the foot to protect the heel, as it is a cushion of
a spongy, elastic nature and very hard to injure. The heel
strikes the ground first when moving fast or slow, and the
greater the speed the harder the blow and concussion. In
every horse that has a healthy foot the frog is higher thanthe
quarters. This can be observed when they are ina state of
nature before they are shod.

Follow out nature's laws in shoeing, see that the wall of
the foot is protected and let the frog take care of the sole.
There is many a trotter loaded down either witha heavy shoe
or toe weight to make them go square and stay on a trot,
when if they were properly shod, so as to protect the sole of
the foot, in many cases they would not need one-half of the
weight and would go many seconds faster. Many horses get
the name of being quitters, when the facts are it is caused by

punishment from concussion and not from a faint heart, the
foot not being properly protected. I really think the Lockey
pad one of the greatest discoveries of the age as a protection
to the foot of ahorse. It is a piece of heavy leather, going
over the entire foot. It is kept in place by the nails of the
shoe, at the toe, and is rivited at the heels when used with an
open shoe. A wet sponge is placed under the leather next to
the foot, with the thickest part across the heel over the frog.
That adds to the elasticity of the frog and also protects the
entire sole of the foot. Some people object to the pad on ac-
count of the damp sponge. It being confined causes a sour,
bad smell and they argue it will rot the foot. But it will not
if it is properly cared for, as follows: Once or twice a week
take some diluted carbolic acid, raise your leather a little with
a foot pick and pour some in, which will cleanse and purify it.
I many times use the pad witha bar shoe. In that case it is
not necessary to rivitit,as the bar will keep it in places
have in some cases used oakum instead of a sponge, but I
prefer the latter, as the oakum gets dry and hard very soon.
The sponge is moist, soft and keeps the foot nearest to the
state of nature of anything I have ever tried. There are ex-
ceptions in all cases, for I have had horses that were not bene-
fited with the Lockey pad or any device that covered the sole
of the foot. They would not or could not go a bit with it on.
They seemed to want all the pressure on the wall of the foot
andthe frog. In these cases I used a bar shoe, and have it well
concaved on the under side, reaching nearly to the nails, so as
not to touch the sole in any place, bringing the bearing on
the outer shell and frog and putting a heavy piece of Kersey
around under the shoe. It should usually be about half an
inch wide. This would make a great difference in the speed
of my horse, ranging from three to five seconds better than
any other way I could shoe them, Blacksmiths seem to have
a mania to cut and carve a horse’s foot, as much as a Yankey
enjoys whittling a pine stick with a sharp knife. They will
carve out the sole, rasp off the toe, open up the heel, as they

term it—that is, cut out a notch each side of the frog—and
will tell you that spreads the foot, when the facts are that
will cause the foot to contract more than any one thing that
can be done to it. The sole is intended as a protection and
brace to hold the foot out inits proper form. Nature madea
provision for expansion in that natural seam in the centre of
the frog. Spreading the heel in any other part causes an in-
jury. My experience is that a large majority of horses will
go better with a good length of toe. Many times I have left
the toe so long it looked outlandish and awkward, but they
could go enough faster to overbalance that criticism. In these
cases I left the heel of good heighth, so as to proportion the
foot and prevent injuring the back tendons. There are cases
where the sole is apparently stronger than the wall and should
be shod with a level bearing, the web being of good width
and touching the sole and wall equally all the way round, so
as to prevent the wall spreading from the sole. A good black-
smith, one that is fit to shoe a good horse, will be able to de-
cide this point if your mind is not clear about it.

There are horses that will go better with a tip for a short
time—I will limit it to a month or thereabout. All the bene-
fit derived from a tip is to prevent the peeling up of the wall
at the toe and giving a full sole and frog pressure. But if
used any length of time there is danger of injury to the back
tendons if they have severe work, especially over a hard
track, consequently you should watch your horse carefully,
and if you should discover any tendency to soreness remove
the tips and put on the shoes at once, In most cases you
will see an improvement in your horse by the change. Put
on the tips as heretofore explained in regard to colts.

Many horses have the habit of forging and scalping,
which is a cause ef much annoyance and trouble many times
to remedy the fault. Most people think the horse hits the
toe of the hind shoe against the heel of the front shoe, but
that is not the case, as nine-tenths of the horses that forge or
click, as it is many times called, strike the toe of their hind

118 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

shoe against the inside of the toe of the shoe on the front
foot, which is caused by the horse not getting his front feet
out of the way. In these cases, if you will put on a shoe in
front with the most of the weight in the heel, that is a good
wide web two-thirds of the distance from the heel to the toe
on each side of it, and cut it out around the toe very nar-
row and light, your horse will pick up his feet much quicker
and get them out of the way of his hind feet.

With some horses that have been wearing toe weights
and scalps bad, try a shoe with all the weight you can get in
the toe; turn the point of the toe up a little, taking away
the toe of the foot so as to fit the shoe; round off the toe
with a file similar to an old shoe that has been worn—that
will make them break over quicker and go clear. If either of
these do not correct the fault, put on both feet behind a shoe
that is about as heavy again on the outside as the inside,
leaving the outside heel about half an inch longer at least
than the inside; that will make him go wider behind and
they will pass the forward feet without any interference. It
is safe to say that eight out of ten horses that can go fast
wear this kind of shoé behind, ranging in weight from six to
eight ounces. It is the best shoe you can use on a horse that
interferes behind, and unless he is a very bad confirmed
knocker, it will cure him.

Many horses get the habit of going a little sideways be-
hind ; that is, going with one hind foot in between the for-
ward feet, which causes them to hitch behind, as it is called,
and making them rough gaited. This is a habit that is con-
tracted by a majority of horses, both young and old, who are
being worked to develop speed, more especially new beginers.
No horse can go fast until this habit is corrected. In most
cases of this kind the horse has more stride with one front
foot than with the other. The usual way of remedying this
fault, with most people, is to put a heavy shoe on the outside
of the hind foot, that goes in, which will correct the fault in
many cases. If your horse goes inside with his right hind

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 119g

foot, you will find that he has more stride with the opposite
or left forward foot, and if you add to the weight of the left
forward shoe one anda half to two and a half ounces, and I
_ have added as high as four ounces, that will make an equal
stride of the front feet, which ‘must cause an equal stride of
the hind feet. If you are carrying all the weight that is neces-
sary reduce the weight of the right forward. shoe in the same
ratio as above directed, which will produce the same result. If
they go between with the left hind foot reverse the above in-
struction. After the horse gets age and is thoroughly gaited
he willin most cases go with a shoe of equal weight in front.
While this is the easiest and best way to remedy this fault, it
is also the best for your horse, as the weight necessary to cor-
rect it is carried by the forward feet and thereby relieves the
hind legs, and as they are the propelling power to drive the
machinery and draw the weight, they consequently should not
carry one ounce more than is necessary to protect the foot
until every other means is exhausted in perfecting your
horse’s gait. In my whole experience I have found but one
horse that I was compelled to load behind, and that was after
experimenting for over a year with every other means without
success. That was over ten years ago and with my knowl-
edge to-day I believe if I had him now I could regulate his
gait without weighting him so heavy behind.

The easiest way to ascertain the amount of weight which
it is necessary to carry is by experimenting with stick-fast
toe weights ranging in weight from one to four ounces, as it
can easily be attached by a small screw; put on your light
weight first and move your horse a little ways, and if his gait
is improved but not quite perfect, remove the light weight and
put on one that is heavier and keep trying until his gait is
right, and then put the weight in the shoe, which is the cor-
rect way, but if your horse is in the habit of carrying toe-
weights you might carry the weight that way, using one
heavier on one foot than the other. But I prefer the weight
in the shoe, because he is always balanced whether going fast

120 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

or slow either on the road or track, and his muscles are hard-
ened and accustomed to carrying that amount of weight. In
using weights a horse has all his slow work without them, and
they are only put on when you are going to give your horse
fast work. I believe that is the cause of their doing so much
injury.

_ In case of interfering forward—ankles, shins or a bad
knee hitter—they can be benefitted greatly by shoeing. If it
is in winter, on slippery roads, and you are obliged to use
caulks, instead of using one toe caulk, and that in the centre
of the shoe, use two, one each side of the centre of the toe of
the shoe, about one and a half inches apart. That.will make
them break over on the toe square without any flop, conse-
quently they will not hit either ankles, shins or knees. In the
summer season, when you are using a plain shoe without
caulks, instead of making the shoe round square it across the
toe. That will make them pick up the foot square and go
clear, as most horses that hit themselves pick their feet up
with a flop, either in or out. They are what we call loaferish
gaited.

Many times it is well to have your shoe turned with
about a third more weight on the outside than the inside.
Have your blacksmith file away the inside edge of the shoe
all it will bear, but keep the foot round and of perfect form,
as a horse's leg must be in the centre of the foot and the foot
level. Do not straighten either side of your horse’s foot to
prevent hitting or allow one side of the foot to be higher than
the other, as either way is liable to enlarge the ankle joint
and produce lameness. In this case have your nails counter-
sunk, instead of creasing the shoe, as then you can file the
edge of the shoe below the bearing. If the shoe is creased
the edge is flush and that is what does the cutting or bruising
of your horse.

In shoeing a colt the first time it is well to follow nature’s
laws as near as possible. Accordingly his first set of shoes
should be very light and all of one weight forward and behind

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 121

if he is a natural gaited trotter or pacer. Do not use a shoe
weighing over five or six ounces on a yearling or two-year-old.
With this manner of shoeing you do not unbalance your colt.
The shoes are simply to protect the wall of the foot and leaves
his gait natural, until he gets used to wearing shoes. Then
you can experiment with stickfast weights after he has ac-
quired muscle and strength to learn what change is needed, if
any, to regulate his gait. Many times no change is neces-
sary and if there is any made it will be a detriment instead of
an improvement.

Leave the colt’s gait natural for a short time, and if he
does not improve in speed and you are satisfied that nature
wants assistance and he requires more weight in front, add the
weight either by toe-weights or in the shoe. Two or three
ounces on each front foot is sufficient at first unless your colt
is rough and bad gaited and inclined to pace and you want
him to trot. In such cases, many times, you will have to use
double that amount of weight.

If your colt is carrying heavy weight be sure and not
speed him but a short distance at a time, as it will soon tire
and spoil him.

A colt or a horse will carry more weight in the shoe alone
than divided between the shoe and a toe-weight, and carry it
further, faster and easier without injury to the animal. More
good horses are spoiled by the use of toe-weights than any
one thing, and still we have to use them, and the man that
knows when they are necessary and when not is the man that
has success.

The experience I had with Lilly Langtry, 2:234, will illus-
trate my theory of equal weight shoes. She could show great
natural speed in the field or to the halter barefooted—in a
state of nature. I broke her in the winter, there was snow
on the ground and the roads were soft. I drove her for some
time without shoes; she was good gaited and showed plenty
of speed, but when the roads began to get icy and hard I was
compelled to get her.shod, Isent herto the shop with orders

122 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

to my man to get her shod light, did not mention any exact
weight. He hada pound shoe put on in front and an eight-
ounce behind. When I came to drive her she seemed to be
entirely changed in her gait and could not goa little bit. I
only drove her once or twice and then took her back to the
shop and replaced the pound in front with an eight-ounce
shoe, which made them the same weight as those behind.
The first time I hitched her she went right away natural, and
in fact, could always show more speed shod that way than
any other; but, of course, when I commenced to trot her I
had to use a little heavier shoe to protect her feet.

This would apply to many horses if adopted, as I think
many that are great lot trotters are prevented from being
track trotters by poor shoeing the first time in allowing the
blacksmith to use his own judgement. You should go to the
shop with your horse yourself, see that his foot ‘is properly
leveled without cutting or carving, rasping the toe or lower-
ing the heels any more than is necessary. Weigh your shoes,
see that the shoe is level and fits the foot. An hour’s time
spent in seeing that your colt is properly shod the first time
will save you months to regain what you have lost by neglect
in this one thing. Instead of being unbalanced by carrying
more weight at one end than the other, which must seem
very awkward and clumsy to your colt at first, and I believe
this is the cause of so many field trotters being harness tied,
as it is usually called.

In case you are training a horse that has to carry a shoe
of good weight, say sixteen or twenty ounces, you naturally
would like to reduce that weight, and of course it will lessen
in weight by natural wear more on some coltsthan others, but
keep that shoe on your horse as long as he appears to be bal-
anced with it. When it is necessary to remove your shoes
weigh them to see how much they have reduced, which should
not be more than two ounces in a month, on ordinary soil,
where there is not much grit. It is rare that a horse will miss
this gradual reduction and will go faster and better. If this

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 123

is the case keep him in those shoes as long as it is safe to use
them without breaking. In putting on a new shoe add two
ounces, as follows: If it is worn away to twelve ounces make
‘the new shoe fourteen. The new shoe feels different, conse-
quently it is well to add the extra weight. If you have an
engagement in the near future in a race have your black-
smith file off the toe of the shoe similar to the old one, as I
have seen many a race lost by changing shoes a day or two
prior.

I said heretofore that a shoe wears away more on some
soils than others, consequently you should watch your shoes
so as not to be caught. Some tracks will wear a shoe more in
one week than in six on others. I will cite a case-of my own
where I nearly dropped my bundle with King Almont in a
race at Boston by his shoes wearing out sq much faster than I
had any ideathey could. I had him shod just a week to a
day before his race, with a pound shoe, which he always wore.
The iron was very soft, which was the cause of it. I started
him in the race and knew he was in good condition. He was
neither short of work or over-worked and I thought he ought
to win easy. He wasa big favorite—$100 to $40—and I had
put on $650 on him at that odds. When I came to start he
seemed to be unbalanced and broke, did not act like himself,
and it unbalanced me to find out what was the matter, for I
got beat two heats that I tried to win in about 2:26. I knew
he was able to trot in 2:22 or 2:23. Then I commenced to
look matters over thoroughly. My friend Ager came hurry-
ing up to the stable to know what was the matter, as he was
in with my play in the pool box. We had about made up
our minds our money was gone. I finally went to my horse
and picked up his foot and to my surprise his shoes were worn
down almost as thin as a case-knife. My feelings were imme-
diately relieved as I could then see what the trouble was. I
added three ounces to his toe weight and he went off and
won the next heat in 2:24 very easy, and the next two in
about the same time. The next day when I changed his

Ae EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

shoes I found they had worn away one-half in a week. No
horse could stand such a great reduction in so short a time.
Jock Bowen has often laughed at me about that race, saying I
was the worst scared man he ever saw without being hurt, as
IT had about made up my mind to try and compromise with
him and ask him to please not go quite so fast, when the fact
was Jock had his money on my horse without my knowledge,
as he knew King Almont could win the race.

I will cite another case in the mare Lady Whitefoot,
2:184. When she came into my hands she was brushy and
speedy, but was unsteady, uneven in her gait ; she would not
go over twenty or thirty rods square; she would then com-
mence to hitch, hobble and shive, and unless I would take
her right back she would break and run, but was a good
breaker, would not make but a few jumps before she
would strike a trot and go square for a few strides, and then
would commence to scrabble again. I first thought it was on
account of her hitting her near hind shin, which she did quite
hard, but I soon became satisfied that the trouble was in the
balance beam, that is, she was not properly shod. I devoted
one afternoon to the shoeing of her. She wore very light
shoes, nine or ten ounces in front and about four ounces be-
hind. She did not wear any toe-weights. I hitched her to a
skeleton wagon and tied her tail up close, and moved her
along up to her speed ; as she increased her speed she would
begin to go with her near hind foot in between her forward
feet. I discovered she had from four to six inches more stride
with her right forward foot, than her left one, as near as I
could judge, that was the cause of her near hind foot going
in between the forward feet trying to keep up with that off front
foot. I shod her three timesthat afternoon. I would change
her shoes, hitch her up and drive hera little ways and thought
I could see a little improvement, but not quite enough;
would come back and change the shoes again, that is, kept
filing out a little more weight on the near front shoe. Finally
when I found the right front shoe weighed nine and three-quar-

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 125

ter ounces and the left one eight, I put the harness on her
and went out and moved her again and found, as the boys
say, she was four-cornered. She had never showed me a mile
before better than 2:38, and the next week she got a record of
2:253, which shows you what proper shoeing will do when ap-
plied to correct some particular fault which takes much study
and common sense to be able to tell what the trouble is.
Many a good horse has been thrown away as no good that
might have trotted fast if they had been properly balanced in
shoeing.

Lady Whitefoot was improving every time I drove her
after changing her shoes. I was not quite ready to go out
and win against such horses as Queen Wilkes, 2:253, Cuba,
Edgewood and Jessie Ballard in a race trotted at Hartford
September 3d, 1886. Billy Wicks had the Queen and is pretty
slick when he is out for the money. I told Mr. A. E. Alvord,
the owner of Whitefoot, if he would wait another week I
would win the mare out, that is, we would have the mare and
the money. Mr. Alvord is a very enthusiastic man over a
trotter. He wants them driven for all they are worth if it
takes a leg off. He was anxious to see her beat 2:30, as he
hardly thought she could. I went off and won the first heat
in 2:253. Billy Wicks and Tommy Carr with Edgewood saw
they had to do something to keep me from getting their
money. Edgewood could go away from the score fast, would
take the track, and Queen Wilkes could go away a little faster
than I could, and when she would get to Edgewood, Tommy
would let her through inside and when I came Tommy would
try and see how close he could make me go to the outside
fence without going over it, and in that way Queen Wilkes
beat me the second heat in 2:25; the third she did not beat
me over a head in 2:233, and the fourth heat in 2:274, which I
gave up at the half as Tommy had me on the fence both sides
of the track. The judges distanced him for fouling me.

The mexteweek I turned’ the’ tables ‘on the Queen: at
Springfield. We did not make as fast time on account of the

126 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

track being soft and slow. It was dollars to buttons that
Queen Wilkes would win, and I had quite a handful of the
buttons. There was in this race, Sept. 7th, Queen Wilkes,
2:233 ; Univeresy, Cuba and Micado. I done her up in four
heats; time, 2:27, 2:27, 2:26, 2.291. In the last heat I walked
home, as some of them would have appeared bad behind the
flag.

The next week I trotted her another race at Mystic Park,
Boston, September 14, which she won very easily. This was
her last race in 1886.

In 1887 I won six races with her, reducing her record to
2:241 without any assistance, except in one race, which was at
Springfield, in which my friend Ethel Robinson piloted the
little mare the deciding heat, and won it, reducing her record
from 2:243 to 2:244.

I have always kept the difference in weight on ‘her for-
ward shoes, but have reduced the weight of each shoe about
an ounce, and she has always been as good gaited as a horse
could be.

In 1888 her first race was at Albany, N. Y. She started
against “Lotta, St.. klmo,Fiction, Silva MM: -and -Gautter, 1
was determined not to give her a hard race, as it was early in
the spring, and she was high in flesh. I did not put any
money on her. Mr. Alvord was there, and directed me to
win if possible, and win she did. It proved an easy race for
her, as the rest of the field was not in very good form. The
next week we went to Hartford. I had been informed that
we hada hard horse to go against. Black Jack by Sweep-
stakes was reported very fast, and if we beat him we would
have to go out of our class, which I objected to. I asked Mr.
Alvord to stay at home, which he did, but I gave Black Jack
a good race, making him reduce his record from 2:24 to 2:224,
winning second money, which I was very well satisfied with.
Tom King, the secretary, thought I might have won the third
heat if the track had been a little wider on the upper turn.

I started her another race over at Boston the next week

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 127

-

just for her entrance money,as I did not think her quite
ready to beat such horses as T. T. S. 2:194, Little Nell 2:19},
‘and Thornless 2:184.

I then brought her home and commenced to prepare her
for Cleveland, the initial meeting of the grand circuit. Mr.
Alvord and I discussed that race many times before we went
there. We made up our minds to-bring about half of Cleve-
land home with us if we could win, but when the day of the
race came Mr. Alvord had missed connections, and did not
get there in time to put the money on as he intended to.
The little mare done her part, and won the race in four heats,
winning the second heat in 2:18}, third in 2:183, and fourth in
2:19, defeating a field of fifteen horses, the pick of the whole
country, in the 2:24 class. The field was Newton B., 2:173; Roy, -
2:214; Fugue, 2:191; Banner Boy, 2:25; une 2:234 ;
ee 7194; Justina, 2:232 ; Civilization, 2:25 ; Jeremiah,

2:222 ; Hinder Wilkes, 2:203 ; Lady Winship, 2:234; William,
2:182 ; Shamrock, 2:25; and Nettle Leaf, 2:231

I laid her up the first heat, which I think is good judg-
ment many times witha horse that is high-geared and requires
some work to steady them. In drawing for place I drew third
position. When we got the word I took her back to let the
field go on so I could get behind them, as she would go easier
in doing so. I interfered with some of the other horses. Mr.
Ladd, who was driving Newton B. 2:173 that day, told the
owners of his horse after the heat that he did not see what
that little chunk of a bay mare was in there for, as she could
not beat any one, and if it had not been for her he would
have won the heat which went to the credit of Roy in 9:2i4.
I finished thirteenth horse, so in the next heat I had to start
in the last end of the gang, and crept through them one by
one, and got to Newton B., who was in the lead at the three-
quarter pole. We had a horse race from there home, but the
little mare had something left for a finish, and just landed
the heat by a head in 2:181. Then Mr. Ladd changed his
opinion of that little dumpling of a bay mare. I want to say

128 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

right here that she is the greatest piece of horse flesh, accord-
ing toher size, on earth. I think she can trot a mile, under
favorable circumstances, in 2:15. She is only fourteen anda
half hands high, and weighs less than eight hundred pounds.
After the second heat the thing was all up, as Whitefoot won °
the next. two -heats.as she pleased.in 2:182 and, 2:19.) 3M
Alvord said to me after the race that perhaps he was not the
slickest looking man outside in the world, but was probably
the happiest man inside that ever lived. He is like many
others—a horse looks so much better to him when he wins
than he does when he loses.

The next week at Buffalo the little mare started a small
splint, consequently she was not so good a race mare, but
still she was close up to Newton B. in one heat in 2:17$. The
track was very hard and seemed to sting her, consequently
she would not stay on a trot. The hard track also put Newton
B. on the dry dock for the balance of the season, and com-
pelled me also to let up on the little mare three weeks to get
the soreness out of her splint. Then I commenced swim-
ming her, as I dare not give her.any work on the track. The
canal being near by I got a row boat, and took two men
with me, one to row the boat, and the other to lead the mare.
I took a light pole, eleven feet long, and boared a hole in the
end of it, put in a short strap, buckled it into the nose piece
of the halter on top of the nose. The man leading the mare
got inthe stern of the boat. I would find a sloaping bank
where she could easily enter the canal. I stood on the bank
with my watch out to time them, so she would not be in long
enough to tire her at first. The first time she went in she
plunged and struggled, was very much frightened, but the
man with the pole kept her head up out of the water and
could steer her just as he liked.» The first time I kept her in
three minutes and brought her ashore, and she puffed and
blowed like a porpoise. We scraped the water out of her
and throwed the blankets on and walked her five minutes,
then pulled the blankets and swam her four minutes again. I

then took her out and scraped the water out and throwed on the
blankets, walked her to the stable, which was about half a
mile, and by that time she was nearly dried out. The boys done
her up just the same as though she had been repeated ; put
on the body wash and bandaged her legs ; I worked her in this
way for a month every other day, and she got so she liked
the water as well as a boy likes to go in swimming. When
she got to the bank of the canal she could hardly wait for the
men to get in the boat, she would want to plunge right in.
After a few days I would give her three plunges, and she
would swim eight or nine minutes and would not seem tired
at all. This kind of work will take flesh off and clear the
wind out, but don’t seem to make much leg muscle, but I
think it is a very nice way to work a horse that is sore from
track work. It will sweat the soreness out of the shoulders
or of the muscles of any part of the body and save the feet
and legs. Horses that are high in flesh in the spring that
have not had much work get muscle sore all over, as the set
of muscles that are used at speed have been inactive and out
of use during the winter.

I had an engagement with Whitefoot in a $5,000 stake
race in the 2:25 class that closed May Ist at New York, and
I was anxious"to get my money out. For seven weeks before
the race all the work she had on the track was one mile
and repeat. I gave her one heat in 2:33 and another in 2:27
the week before the race. She started against Jack, Geneva
S., Epph and Superior. Geneva S. won the first and second
heats, Jack winning the next three and race. Whitefoot
was second to Jack in the third heat in 2:20, and the fourth
heat in 2:194, and was only beaten by about a neck, which
gave me third money, $750, which was good interest on the
entrance, $375, with a mare that had been decidedly off. She
will probably be heard from hereafter, and will be a danger-
ous one in any class in which she starts.

Pacers are not unlike trotters, they do not-all want shoe-
ing alike or working alike. The pacing gait develops speed

130 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

very fast, much faster than the trotter, yet it seems to be
more tiresome than the trotting gait, and they seem to re-
quire more stiff work to stay them up to go the race out than
it does a trotter, and there are very few of them that can
carry much weight in the shoe and goa race of heats. You very
seldom see a successful race horse in a pacer that wears
heavier than a twelve ounce shoe in front, many of them go
with less. In February, 1888, I bought the chestnut horse
Edwin, 2:241, of Mr. Baker of Watkins. He had been ex-
perimenting considerable to make him trot. He had shown
him a mile in 2:34 over a half mile track at that gait. He
had given him a record of 2:40 as a four-year-old. I expected
to make a trotter of him, still he could show flights of speed
ona pace. I used him along until the track got good in the
spring on a trot, as in all of his slow work he trots and never
offers to pace unless he goes fast. I was using about a four-
teen ounce shoe on him in front, and when I would allow him
to pace he would brush a little ways fast and then break. He
did not seem to be balanced. As soon as he got in condition
to take any fast work I put a seventeen ounce shoe on him in
front anda six ounce toe weight. When I would start him
up ona trot with this weight he would go a short distance at
a two-forty gait, then, as soon as I would commence to force

him, he would go into a pace and would go fast and steady, so
I made up my mind that was just what I wanted to make a
pacer of him. The weight kept him steady. I went upon
the principle that if a little was good more would be better,
so I took off the toe weights and put ona twenty-five ounce
shoe, with the weight all in the toe that I could get. Then
I gave him two slow repeats, neither mile better than two-
forty, with a sharp brush at the finish of the mile, and it
seemed as though he could fly. In ten days I removed his
shoes and cut two ounces out of each shoe. Then I worked
him a week more. I would give him an easy mile and a re-
peat, going away slow the first quarter in forty-four seconds,
then let him increase his speed and finish the last quarter

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 31

fast, making the mile in about 2:38. I then removed his shoes
again and cut out two ounces more, put them back, driving
the nails in the same holes so as not to destroy the foot. I
keep on in this way changing his shoes, cutting out from one
and a half to two ounces, until I got them down to thirteen
ounces in weight. I would of course every week drive him a
little faster, but in this gradual reduction he did not seem to
miss the weight, and at the end of six weeks he could pace a
mile in 2:25 as easy as any horse I ever saw, going the last
quarter in thirty-four or thirty-five seconds every time, and
never wanted to make a break or mis-step. I then threw
away the old shoes and put on a twelve ounce shoe in front
and eight ounces behind. In two weeks that shoe wore away
to ten and a half ounces, and he could pace a mile in 2:20,
the last quarter in thirty-three seconds. A man can develop
speed very fast with a heavy shoe or toe weight when neces-
sary to steady a horse if he will use judgment and not go too
far with him. Brush your horse just a little ways, say an
eighth of a mile, yet it would be good judgment to go the
full mile with an aged horse going the first seven-eights well
within himself, and brushing the last eighth out sharp. That
learns your horse to go the mile steady, staying on a pace or
trot, whichever the gait may be. It keeps him encouraged
and in perfect safety from injury in carrying heavy weight,
whereas if you attempt to drive him a fast mile you are in
danger of breaking him down and laming him, also gets him
tired and discouraged, and will make even a well-bred and
game horse a quitter. Many a good race horse has been
made a quitter by bad training. My motto has always been
to send a man’s horse home as good as he came if I could not
improve him. We often hear the remark made that a cer-
tain trainer is too industrious and is afraid he won't earn his
salary unless he hones his horses every day. It would be
better for his horses if he had a lazy strain in his pedigree,
asa horse is better short of work than being over-trained.
We notice some times a rainy day or two makes a good deal

1:32 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER,

of speed, which ought to give the energetic trainer a hint in
the right direction.

There is occasionally a pacer that requires considerable
weight in the shoe behind, it seems to balance him better
than if the weight was in front ; say for instance, if you have
a twelve-ounce shoe in front, put full as much and perhaps
two ounces more on the hind feet; perhaps the front shoes
are fourteen ounces, if so, use sixteen behind, and follow out
this proportion either lighter or heavier as the gaiting of a
pacer is an experiment as well as a trotter, if they don't go
one way try them another. Patience, perseverance and a lit-
tle good judgment will get your horse going straight and
smooth if he has any natural speed, and when he is once
gaited you can reduce this weight a little at a time, either in
front or behind, and not interfere with his gait.

In the summer of 1888 Elmonarch, 2:17}, came into my
hands with a record of 2:201, made in June. He was having
a severe attack of .pink-eye when I got him, which I think he
hardly recovered from during the fall, but still he went some
wonderful good races for me, and I think him one of the best
race horses I ever had. He was not at any time in the pink
essence of condition, still he showed his ability to pace a mile
in 2:15, as he was only beaten by a head at Hartford in the
2:20 class by Roy Wilkes in 2:15. He paced a number of
heats for me at Utica and Island Park, Albany, from 2:17} to
2:18.. At Utica, in the 2:17 class, there wastins the cicempare
sora Wilkes, 2:174, Jennie Lind, 2:17, Charley Freel, 2:16,
Johnny Woods, 2:231, Dr. M., 2:174, and Elmonarch. This
was the first race I had started him after his sickness. I in-
tended to give him an easy race, but he won the first heat so
handily from Charley Freel in the stretch in 2:20%, as none of
the other horses were moved for the heat, that I thought I
would move along and end it up in three heats. I won the
second heat in 2:184. Balsora Wilkes gave me a little race in
the stretch. In the third heat Balsora Wilkes and Elmonarch
had a great race all the way. I beat him home about a head

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 133

in 2:181; that is, ] thought so, and an instantaneous photo-
graph, taken by Mr. Underhill of the New York Sportsman,
confirmed my opinion, but the judges did not see it in that
way and gave the heat to Balsora Wilkes. Mr. Underhill has
since published the photograph in the Sportsman, showing
the error of the judges. I am satisfied it was an error of judg-
ment and not intentional, as we often see a horse on the out-
side in a close finish getting from one to two feet the best of
the decision from the stand. As my horse had two stiff heats
I laid him up the fourth heat, letting Balsora Wilkes win it as
he pleased, and in the fifth heat the mare Jenny Lind tried
very hard to put me over in the woods, where they have the
clam-bakes, on the first turn, which let Balsora Wilkes get so
far away from me that I was unable to catch him and he won
the heat by about half a neck in 2:21.

The next week at Island Park we had a hard battle, the
same horses starting except Jenney Lind. Dr. M. won the
first heat in 2:20}; Balsora Wilkes won the second in 2:171;
Elmonarch won the third heat in 2:19$, the fourth heat in
2:171—pacing the last half in 1:05, the last quarter in thirty
seconds—Balsora Wilkes driving me out.’ In the fifth heat
Elmonarch made a break going away and I laid him up. -Bal-
sora Wilkes won in 2:21. In the sixth heat I got the worst
of the send off, and when I moved for the heat at the three-
quarter pole I was interfered with by Dr. M. sol did not get
to Balsora Wilkes until well down into the stretch. If a man
don’t think that Balsora Wilkes and Samuel Grabenstatter are
a hard pair to beat, I would like to have him go and try them
for himself, for they beat me by just an eyelash in 2:21, suffi-
‘cient at least to get first money andalittle of my hard earned
cash—more than I liked to give up. I gave the judges a
strong argument about Dr. M. interfering with me, but they
did not see it in that light, consequently I had to take my
medicine—the bitter without the sweet. It was no fault of
the horse my losing either of these races or at Hartford, as it
seemed simply that I was in hard luck. He is one of the

134 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

sweetest going and pluckiest horses I ever saw, would try hard
to win, and I think when in condition can beat most any
man’s horse in his class.

I Have never been fortunate or unfortunate enough to
handle many pacers, but they are horse flesh the same as a
trotter, and a man that can condition and drive a trotter well
can do well with a pacer, though they are asa class bad break-
ers; it seems at that gait when they get out of their stride it
is hard work for them to get onto it again.

The boys say a stable is not complete without a pacer or
two, but I can content myself with the trotters if I am per-
mitted to pick them out.

No man’s work is perfect, and I expect criticism on this
chapter. I have simply given you my experience in shoeing
bad-gaited horses, and the methods recommended are those
which I have been successful with.

CHART BAR EX
How TO PREPARE, MANAGE AND DRIVE A HORSE IN A RACE.

We will suppose your horse has arrived at maturity. We
all know some horses at four years old will require and can
stand more work than others at six or seven. Horses, like
people, are of different temperaments and ability and must be
handled accordingly. A man should go carefully until he
thoroughly understands the disposition and ability of his
horse. See that he is properly shod and booted. These are
the two most essential points in the training of your horse.
It applies here as well as with the colt. If he hits himself he
becomes sore and is afraid to go, and consequently becomes
bad gaited and it will be necessary to let him up, whereas if
he had been properly protected at the commencement you
would have a number of seconds’ better horse at the end of
’ the season, as well as increasing the contents of your pocket-
book. If it is in the spring of the year and you intend racing
your horse through the season, you should have him strong,
with a good coat of flesh on him, and keep him so as near as
you can. This is a part where a man must exercise good
judgment about the feeding of his horse. As you increase
his work increase his feed proportionately. Horses differ,
Some require more feed, hay and oats than others to keep
them strong and in good flesh, which is necessary to stand a
campaign. The amount required ranges from ten to fourteen
quarts, with plenty of good timothy hay; perhaps in addition
a little cracked corn, rye or wheat. Corn will sometimes
loosen a horse’s bowels too much; if so, change to wheat or
rye. Do not use your muzzle any more than is actually neces-
sary, as I think there are five used where only one is needed.
Rye straw is very hard to digest, and if he insists upon eating
it you had better tie him up after he has finished eating his

130 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

hay rather than annoy him with a muzzle. If he is very
hearty give him plenty of hay and he will eat less straw, and
only put onthe muzzle the night before a race or stiff work.
We should always look to the comfort of our horses and a
leather muzzle placed over his head on a hot day or night
must be a torture, and the wire one is no good except fo chafe,
as he can eat through it. There are exceptions, as there is oc-
casionally a gross feeder, or pig, as he might be called, and it
would be necessary to keep ona muzzle, as he never knows
when he gets enough, and you could not get him emptied out
and ready in a week for fast work. In such cases, I think it
better to bed with pine shavings, if convenient.

Commence his work moderately, do not try to reduce his
flesh too quick, for his races will take that off fast enough as °
the weather gets warm. You have probably been giving him
seven or eight miles a day on the road as slow work. When
your track gets good and you commence to give him a little
fast work, shorten up on his jogs. Three to four miles a day
is sufficient for the average horse when they are in training
and trying to make speed. When you have a horse that it is
necessary to give him eight or ten miles a day to level up his
head and make him.stay on a trot, he will be short lived asa
race horse, and the owner’s finances will not show a very large
increase. I have reference here to a horse that is gaited and
has shown a fair amount of speed. I have seen many young
horses that were double gaited and had acquired many bad
habits, as hitching, hobling or taking too strong a hold of the
iron when I started them up, and it would be necessary to
give them long, stiff work to square them up in their gait or
to overcome some bad habit they haveacquired. This should
be done in the winter or spring, so you will have time to let
them up and rest out before it comes time to give them fast
work on the track to try to improve their speed. -When you
commence to work your horse on the track go easy with him
well within himself; do not allow him to rush off and break.
If he is able to trot in 2:30 his first mile in the spring should

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 137

not be better than three minutes. Perhaps in twenty or
thirty minutes it would be well to give him another mile in
9:55. To days later you might step him along another mile
in 2:50, and in two days again give him a mile, and repeat the
first mile in 2:50, second in 2:45. Two days later a mile in
2:49 or 2:43 ought not to do him any harm; then, in three or
four days, give him three heats in 2:50, 2:45 and 2:40.

Remember, that in driving your horse a mile to let him
step right along by the stand fifteen or twenty rods. Do not
let him stop as soon as he has passed the wire, as a horse will
quickly learn where his stopping place is, and he might
slacken too quick some day in a race when you were having
a close finish. In this way, as your horse gets strength, wind
cleared out and muscle worked up, increase his work accord-
ingly, brushing him through the stretch at the finish of a mile
nearly up to the limit of his speed. On Tuesday give him a
mile, and repeat well within himself. On the Friday follow-
ing give him four heats, first one in 2:45, second in 2:40, third
in 2:35, and if he appears cheerful and fresh step him along the
next one close to 2:30. Any competent trainer should be
able to judge of his horse’s ability to go a mile or a number
of them without forcing him a full mile at the top of his
speed, as there is many a horse discouraged and disheartened
by such work. A quarter of a mile is far enough for any
horse to be brushed at extreme speed. That ought to enable
a man to judge of his horse’s ability in a race, provided your
horse is a good actor in company, if not work him with other
horses. Try him at the pole on the outside and in the
middle, that will satisfy you which place he works the best if
he has any choice, as most horses do. It would be well for
you to score your horse a few times, trying him at short and
long scores. All of this should be done well within himself.
Keep him encouraged. If he should be a little wild or un-
steady treat him kindly, pat him on the rump with your hand
and speak gently to him, and so learn him he is not going to
be harmed, and that it is all right. Have your groom out

138 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

out on the track, and as you walk back have him drop off his
check and sponge his mouth out. That will many times quiet
a horse down and cool him off, and he will turn around and
go at it with new vigor. If you should be rash and hit him
a sharp cut with the whip or jerk him with the reins, or speak
in a loud voice, chiding him, you might frighten or make him
angry, and he would not get over it ina month. The scrip-
tural quotation, ‘‘Soft words turneth away wrath, and
grievous ones stireth up anger,’ may be applied to horses as
well as people. Inall of this work your horse should be cared
for between heats the same as in a race. Give hima few
mouthfuls of grass or a little wet hay or other nourishment
which will pacify him and he will cool out better.

If you must give your horse a fast mile to the limit of
his speed, it is not safe to do it within two weeks of his race,
as you might pull him apart in some way so that it would
take that time to recover. As your race draws near shorten
and sharpen your work and the majority of them will go the
route out better than they would with longer and stiffer work.
Between your working days, in the morning, hitch your horse
to a road cart or skelton wagon, leave his check easy or take
it off entirely, and let your man jog him off on the road two
or three miles, not over four at the outside. Towards evening
let your boy give him a walk of twenty or thirty minutes ona
grass plat, if convenient, and give him plenty of grass to eat
if he wants it.

In repeating your horse it should be done about two or
three o’clock in the afternoon, the usual time of races, as it
accustoms them to the temperature of that time of the day.
If you have only one important event in view you should
take more time to prepare your horse, as he will require stiffer
work to prepare his muscles and reduce his flesh to be ready
to go the limit of- his speed without injury, whereas in prepar-
ing for a campaign we would, the first race, expect to go easy,
though they do not always get it; the second race a little
stronger, and about the third one, if he is healthy and has

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 139

stood his races well and is ever going to be any good, he
should be at this time ready to show it to you if you are
ready to see it.

When the day of the race comes, and you’mean business,
it is well to see that your horse’s shoes are in their proper place
and the right weight to suit him, your boots and harness in
good repair, and if your horse is nervous and excitable a good
plan is to take some very fine surgeon's cotton, which can be
obtained at any drug store, make a ball the size necessary,
and push it down carefully in the ear passage. Then make a
larger one and put over the first one. Do it carefully, so as
not to scratch or hurt the ear, or he will object to a repetition
of it the next time. This will deaden the sound of the whip,
voice or other noise made by contending drivers which may
cause your horse to break. I have seen horses trot a good
heat or race with their ears packed, when without, it would be
almost impossible to keep them on a trot ina field of horses,
Drivers usually find out all such peculiarities and take ad-
vantage of it, and when you get near them the first thing you
will hear will be a sharp crack of the whip or a sharp word,
which would make your horse break and lose youa heat that
you might have won, and would many times cause unpleas-
ant words to be assed between drivers.

different styles and either of them are good enough for any
man or horse. I prefer the bent back axle and I feel safer in
one of them than in any sulky I ever used. They run lighter
and easier than any make of sulky I know of, and I believe it

is because the weight is in front of the axle. I am positive
that any man that uses them once will not be without one.

About forty minutes before the bell rings put the boots

open. him out to see if he has his speed ; then take him in, re-
move harness and boots, cooling out as though it was a heat
in the race. Keep your eye on your watch, so that you may |
have your horse ready to go out on time when the bell rings,
as that keeps the judges’ association and spectators in good
nature and good feeling towards you.

One of the greatest drawbacks in trotting races is the
delay in getting out, frequent scoring and Miss Nancy work,
generally, it carries the race many times into darkness or over
to the next day, and people go home growling and dissatisfied,
and say I will never go toa trotting race again. I have often
thought if there could be some rule adopted so three-fourths
of this preliminary delay could be abolished, it would
popularize trotting races more than any one thing that could
be done, and there would be ten spectators where there is
only one now. When you are called lead your horse out to
the track, get in your sulky, drive to the judge’s stand, and
have them assign your position, then score your horse up
once or twice. Then go up with the other horses and turn in
your place, and get the word the first time if possible and
drive the heat to the best of your ability and the good of
your horse. There is an old saying, that plenty of speed and
a good actor makes a good driver, but that don’t always win
a race, though he may have a good horse.

In order to be a good driver in a race, it is necessary to
be ready at all times to take advantage of some unforseen
circumstance that may_arise at any time, and be ready to
turn it to one’s benefit on the instant it occurs. It is neces-
sary for a man to be level-headed and a good judge of human
nature as well as of horses. Drivers do not as a general
thing proclaim to the whole field or to the public what their
intentions are, but actions sometimes speak louder than
words, and a man must be able to judge by them what the
tactics of his competitors are, and be ready at all times to
take advantage of their acts at a second’s notice, as I have
had many times in a race, a driver move along up to me when

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I4I

I was on the lead,and seeing me commence to drive my
horse a little would say, “Go easy, Jack, I don’t want to win
a heat, and I would not if I could, let’s make a close finish,”
when at the same time they were just dying to win a heat,
and if I attempted to make a close finish they would make a
rush the last few strides and beat me the heat if they could.
In that way I have seen many a heat lost, which would not
have occurred if a man had kept driving his horse and not
pay any attention to other people’s talk, simply attend to
his own business and let other people do the same, for men
in this business are more fickle-minded than in any other
vocation in the world. I have seen many drivers declare at
the beginning of a race that they did not want a heat, and
would not win if they could, and when we would get the
word it would seem they were willing to drive the legs off
their horse to win in three straight heats if possible. With
many drivers it requires a pretty good judge to decide
whether they are trying to win or lose, and I have often
thought they hardly knew themselves what they wanted to
do. The proper way is to make up your mind before you
commence what you are going to try to do, and stick to it,
and I think the man who is always willing to try and win
when he can has the most money at the end of the season.
Do not pay any attention to that old chestnut of a fast trial
of some horse, but if you have a fairly good horse yourself,
and the betting suits you, put a little money on your own
horse and go out and drive him or her from start to finish, as
in your judgment he should be driven to trot a good race
out. Be careful to not take too much out of him in any one
heat, as it takes usually three heats to win a race.

For instance, you get a bad send off or you are interfered
with or your horse makes a bad break and falls back say a
dozen lengths on the first turn, you might win the heat by
driving for it, when by doing so you would take so much out
of your horse you would not be able to win another heat that
day. In such cases you should always say to yourself, “If I

142 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

could win this heat, how easy I could win the next one with
a good send off, so I will lay this heat up and just drop inside
of the flag.” By doing so you give your horse an easy heat
and prepare him to trot three good heats later on. A man
should know whether his horse goes the easiest in the lead or
trailing, as many horses when ahead take a strong hold of the
bit and it shuts him up in the britchin, which interferes with
his stifle action or shuts off his wind, perhaps both. A half
mile in this way would take more out of him than two heats
ought to if he had dropped back and trailed some one or two
horses until he got into the stretch and then made the drive.
You will find something left for a finish that in the other
case you would have taken out of your horse at the half-mile
pole. Itis always well to pick out your own road and see
that you have clear sailing and not wait for someone to pull
out of your way.

Then again, in case of a horse of a slack temperament, it
is better for you and them to be on the lead if you can get
it, as they require some hurrah and excitement to keep them
going and will trot a good heat or race for you in that posi- ©
tion; when, if you get away trailing they seem to be discour-
aged and faint hearted, and: when you call on them fora brush
at the finish they seem to say, “I can’t, I can't, ancdurie
won't try, and when you go at them with the whip or other-
wise they will make a lobster of a break and it is all up with
them for that heat, and perhaps the race. With some horses
it is necessary to commence to drive when they say “Go,”
and keep at them all the way in order to get a good heat out
of them, when if you let them go away easy within them-
selves they would go the whole heat that way, and they
would not seem to rally or could not any rod of the route. I
have seen horses lose heats and races in 2:30 when they were
actually able to-trot,in 2:24 or 2:25 by being driven in this
way, that is to say, with an easy disposition man like them-
selves, when at the same time another man could take them
that the boys call an industrious hustler, and he would get

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 143

four or five seconds more speed out of them, and the horse
would seem to do it as easy, and in fact, more so than he did
the heat before in 2:30. We all know no one man is calcu-
lated to drive all kinds of horses. We all have our choice of
a certain dispositioned horse to drive. I have often seen
what would be called a common driver that will get more
speed out of a,certain horse than an expert, though his man-
agement through the race might not be as good as it is not
always speed that wins. I have seen many a race won with
sood management and generalship.

I think Dan Mace was possessed of more of these quali-
ties than any man I ever saw behind a trotter. Hewas quick
of apprehension and could adapt himself to the surroundings
and be ready to take advantage of every little point that
would be to his advantage. I have often heard him say to
other drivers in a race to whom he was friendly, don’t go here
er don’t go there, in large fields of horses where he thought
the changing of their positions would be detrimental to them.
He always seemed to have his thoughts about him and could
take a correct survey of the field at a glance and seemed tobe ,
willing to impart his knowledge to his friends.

Another necessary point is when you are having a close
finish and your horse is a little tired and it becomes necessary
to use your whip, to keep a good hold of him, as that keeps
him encouraged. When you hit him with the whip pick his
head up at the same time and he will keep going, whereas if
you should let go of his head the horse will seemingly say,
“My driver has given it up and I will, too,” and you will lose
a heat that you might have won if you had kept driving. It
is not safe to let go of the head until within one stride of the
wire, then by dropping the reins on his back he will straighten
out his neck and win the heat, which could not be won in any
other way.

I think I have seen John Splan drive as desperate a finish
as any man that ever sat behind a horse. .
Another point to watch closely is the cooling out be-

tween heats. I never yet hada groom so good that I thought
it would do any harm to watch him while cooling out his
horse, and I believe I have had as good men as were ever in
the business. I always thought I could form a better opinion
how my horse was going to trot the next heat if I could see
him cooled out, as many times the men working about the
horse are thoroughly heated up themselves and are not com-
petent to judge of the weather—the day might be cool, but
they would think it warm—and when starting to walk the
horse would not put covers enough on him, and again they
might put on too much, which would be just as injurious to
the horse, and as I said before, it is no harm to look after
them, and I always feel this a duty and think it just as neces-
sary as to drive the heat. I might not have occasion to dic-
tate in cooling out a dozen horses, and again I might with one
word of advice win the race, as often times two heads are bet-
ter than one, asno one is perfect ; we are liable to err or forget
some important point. Ihave had horses in warm weather that
would in cooling out dry all up if a heavy wrapper was

thrown over them, and would puff and blow and seem to be
" distressed, when if the heavy wrapper was replaced with a
light lindsy and walk them about they would break out and
sweat nicely and stop blowing, and when the bell rang would
be ready to go out and go another good heat for me.

I think many cases of horses being distressed and dried
up are caused by the men putting too much clothing on them.
I think, as a rule, we are apt to use too much, and it is a
detriment to them. :

Again a horse would seem to be all burned up inside and
vet would not sweat a drop and would seem to be choked for
the want of water. I think, as a rule, there are more horses
injured for the want of water than there are in giving it to
them in the proper way. A man must use judgment. Ihave
many times given a horse a bucket half full, sometimes a full
one, then throw the blankets on him and walk him smartly,
say for five minutes, and the sweat would pour out of him

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 145

from his head to his tail, then strip and scrape him and rub
the water out nicely and he would act like another horse.

With other horses they wanted the water outside instead
ofinside. After trotting a hard heat or two on a hot day
they would seem to be terribly distressed and would not
drink any water. In such cases I would take a large sponge,
dip it into a pail of cold water, place it between their ears,
passing quickly down the spine to the roots of the tail, squeez-
ing the water out as you go. I would do this about three
times, which would seem to produce a shock like electricity
and would start a reaction; then scrape the water out of
them, put onrum or the body wash, throw on the blanket and
walk them a few minutes, and the water would pour out of them
like rain, and they would be relieved at once, and as soon as I
could get them scraped out and rubbed out lightly they would
seem to be ready for the bell to ring again. Too much rub-
bing on the body does more harm than good, as it irritates
the horse, gets him sore and fretful, and he will not get the
rest that is necessary. See also that your grooms are light-
handed, and do not put too much weight on the rub cloth or
scraper. See that the legs are well cleansed of dust and dirt
by a damp sponge and rub cloth from the body to the feet,
then apply your wash, and see that they*are thoroughly
rubbed out. The muscles above tl:c knee and hock should be
as well cared for as below. Put on your bandages either of
flannel, linen or derby. I think well of a linen bandage rung
out of cold water, as they are on but a few minutes, and are
used simply as a support to the tendons while walking, and
they are much cooler. If the day is hot and dry see that the
soles of the feet are bathed thoroughly in cold water after
each heat. I have seen horses throw a shoe after going a half
or three quarters of a mile, and, on picking it up, found it so hot
I could not hold it inmy hand. This taught me it was as
necessary to bathe the feet as it is the head and mouth.

The best nourishment I know of for a horse between
heats, in case one is needed, say after a horse has went two or

146 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

three hard heats and has become tired, is to take a quart or
two of clean oats, dampen them and put them into a sieve
and spread them out, so the horse cannot get a large mouth-
ful at once. While the man is walking him to cool out let
him carry them in his hand and occasionally let the horse
take a mouthful. Ifyou attempt to let him eat them while
the men are rubbing him he will fret and be uneasy and will
not chew them well and will waste more than he will eat.
This should be repeated after each heat, if the race lengthens
out to five or six heats. I have used oatmeal gruel and it is
good for those horses that will eat it, but my experience is
that very few horses like it and any horse will eat oats. We
all know that when a man is tired a few mouthfuls in the
stomach will build him up wonderfully, and it is the same
with a horse.

For a stimulant to give a horse I formerly used cherry
wine, whisky, brandy, etc., but all of these I discarded years
ago, the after effect'is so bad. It has,the same effect yonta
horse it does on a man—first stimulating then depressing.
When any stimulation is necessary: use a homceopathic pre-
paration—a few drops on the tongue—and the effect. is not
only immediate but permanent, and is beneficial and no bad
effect afterwards. This has helped me to win many a long
and hard race.

In a long race you must watch your horse and see if he
shows any indications of wanting to stall. If so, and your
stable is not handy, have a bundle of straw with you and
shake it out under him, which will usually have the desired
effect, and would win you the race, which he might have lost
without this relief.

After a horse has trotted a race, and you are cooling him
out, and it is getting late, the dew beginning to fall, or you
are near a body of water, a lake, river or the seashore, you get
a different atmosphere than you would if away from the
water; there is more dampness in the air. Keep your horse
well clothed and out of the wind and night air. See that his

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 147

head and ears are thoroughly dried out and warm and his legs
are well cared for. It is better to not try to do much with
the body that is strip and rub it, or you may produce
what is called an air founder or rheumatism, which will takea
long time for them to recover from, if they ever do. I remem-
ber once at Island Park, Peter Pollard, of Baltimore, and myself
walked around where they were cooling out the horses after a
hard race. We picked out three horses that were cooling out
that we thought would not be fit to trot again in some time,
and we were right, as neither one of the three the next morn-
ing were able to get out of the stable, for they were as stiff
asa poker. One of them has recovered and appeared on the
track, but is not herself, and I don’t believe she ever will be.
The other two have never been heard of since. This many times
is also caused by a horse being left standing in one position
ina draft or dampness. They should be walked until thor-
oughly cooled out, and should not be allowed to stand in one
position over five minutes, unlessin a warm stable.

A man should have sufficient tools to remove and replace
a horse’s shoes. I think it very necessary, after a hard race,
to remove the horse’s shoes the same night, so as to rest the
feet, and it is well to put the front feet in poultices. Take
two quarts of wheat bran, put hot water on it and scald it
thoroughly, divide it and put in the centre of two rub cloths ;
take three or four raw onions for each foot, pound them soft,
spread over, the bran, and set the horse’s foot in the centre,
bring the rub cloth up and tie around the ankle, and leave on
during the night, take them off in the morning and wash the
feet clean, and you will find the feet in nice condition, free
from fever or soreness. For their supper the old rule used to
be a hot bran mash the night after a race. That may be good
for some horses, but I would prefer a bundle of nice fresh
grass, or three or four quarts of scalded oats prepared at
noon, so they may be cool when needed, or in fact any other
nourishment which they would eat the best.

The next morning after a race see that your man gives

148 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

your horse a walk in the dew, or if there is a paddock handy,
turn him out for an hour in it and let him roll or do what he
likes, then take him in and brush him out lightly, in fact,
don't do much of anything with him, let him alone to rest out.
Towards night it would be well to walk him out again a little
while, and let him have a few bites of grass. Some horses
will rest out in one day, and others it takes more. I never
put a harness on my horse the next day after a race, and
sometimes not for three or four days. It all depends on
how he acts and how he feels.

Cryer ith of
VISIT TO CALIFORNIA.

I will say a word here of what I saw in California which
may be of interest to my readers as it was connected with
horse interests, and for the purpose of witnessing the devel-
opment of colts as practiced at Palo Alto, in order to see the
effect on young colts as a whole where early development is
the cardinal principle. ;

I also desired to invest some what in California breed-
stock. I arrived in San Francisco on February 4th, 1889. I
stopped at the Palace Hotel, which is the rendezvous for
horsemen, and in fact most every one seems to take a stroll
that way during the evening. I hada good visit with O. A.
Hickok that evening, and after a good night’s rest I started
for Palo Alto early the next morning. Palo Alto is the larg-
est horse breeding establishment in the world. When I ar-
rived at the Menlo Park Station I was met by one of Mr.
Marvin's assistants who drove me out to the ranch, which is
about two miles from the station. Of course I nad heard and
read a good deal about Palo Alto, and as I drove into the
yard Isaw a familiar face'and grasped the hand of a friend. I
refer to Charles Marvin, the reigning spirit at that world-
famous ranch. He has been there about thirteen years and
has grown up with the ranch, and the stock has grown up with
him under his watchful eye and guiding hand. Mr. Marvin
shows the marks of time, his careworn features and stooping
form is the mark of his industry, which all the world knows
by the results he has attained with Palo Alto’s now famous
sons and daughters. Electioneer and Charles Marvin's fame
will go down the ages coupled together, as one without the
other would not have been what they are in the horse history
of America. Mr. Marvin looked to me as though he required

150 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

a let up, as we say about a campaigner that has been over-
worked, but he still has that easy, courteous manner which
makes the perfect host willing to do everything possible to
entertain his guests, showing everything on the place and
thinking of everything which could possibly entertain and
please his visitors. In company with Mr. McLeod, of “ Wal-
lace’s Monthly,” who was there in the interest of horse mat-
ters, we took a look at the stock.

I cannot beyin to tell all I saw, but will give only a short
sketch. JI was anxious to see the great Electioneer, and we
wended our way first to his stall. I found him a wonderful
horse. He is brown in color and as finely balanced as any
horse I ever looked over; very speedy conformation ; consid-
erably higher on the hips than on the shoulder, and my ex-
perience has taught me that real trotters are built that way.
He does not show his age (21 years) except a little droop in the
back, and apparently is as sound and nimble as a five-year-old.
He has not had on a shoe in a number of years. His feet and
legs are as good as I eversaw ona horse. He is jogged every
morning five or six miles, which he seems to enjoy, as I met
him coming from his exercise one morning and he acted like
a colt. They have about eighty colts and horses in training,
from yearlings up to aged horses. There are ten assistant
trainers. I will not attempt to mention their names, but I
know most of them and they are allgoodmen, All the stock
looked bright and were in high flesh, and still they were hav-
ing plenty of work. A good many of them were worked every
day on the track, what I would call pretty stiff, that is, from
two years old up. The yearlings were worked mostly on the
miniature track, which is under cover. It is an oblong track of
regulation shape about two hundred feet in length. The
track was very soft and well thrown up on the outside like a
circus ring. It is boarded up tight on the outside and the
roof reaches just over the track. There is a railing on the in-
side extending around the circle. The track is from seven to
eight feet wide. The centre is left open to give plenty of air

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. I51

and light. A colt is turned loose in the ring, being perfectly
protected with boots, wearing quarter, shin and toe boots.
They are all shod light behind, which is necessary to keep a
toe boot on, but are not shod in front. A man stands at each
end of the oblong with awhipinhis hand. The colt is allowed
to caper about fora fewtimes around the ring,as many of
them are playful. Then he will strike a trot, and it is per-
fectly wonderful how those young things can fly around that
ring. They are allowed to go three or four times one way
and are then turned and sent the other way about the same
number of times. In that way they are worked fifteen or
twenty minutes. Occasionally they would stop and take a
puff or two and then on they would go. I really believe I
saw a yearling colt step close to a two-thirty gait for a little
ways as handily and perfectly gaited as an old trotter in har-
ness. After this work they are taken off and rubbed a little,
walked and cooled out, then a light blanket thrown over them
and their legs bandaged like an old horse, their feet picked
out and,-in fact, taken’ as:g¢ood care of as.an old trotter.
Nothing is left undone for their comfort or benefit. These
youngsters are all broken to harness and occasionally, from
two to three times a week, are harnessed up and hitched first
to a skeleton wagon and driven on the track, just brushed a
little ways up and down the stretch, say from thirty to forty
rods, and then turned and brushed back sharp. This is re-
peated three or four times, then they are taken in and cared
for as before mentioned.

I saw a filly by Electioneer, dam by General Benton, not
yet eleven months’ old, hitched to a skeleton wagon and
driven by Marvin, who is considerably over weight, step a
2:40 gait sure, and as good gaited and behaved as any aged
horse. I think this was the greatest sight I ever saw in my
life as a horseman. In this way I was entertained for two
days with the youngsters. I saw a good many two and three
year olds that could step a 2:20 gait and better in harness. I
saw a gray mare, three years old, out of Electioneer, dam

152 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

Sontag Mohawk by Mohawk Chief, dam of Sallie Benton,
2:173, by General Benton and Eros, 2:29}, by Electioneer,
that I thought could fly, but when Marvin appeared on the
track behind Sunol, two-year-old, record 2:18, she put all of
them young ones in the shade. I just think I saw her step a
2:10 gait, and want to say right here, if she lives two years
and has no bad luck, she will wipe out any mark ever put on
the blackboard; it was not only the speed she shows, but the
manner in which she does it, there is no hitching or scrabbling,
but she goes just as natural and easy as a chicken picking up
corn. Mr. Marvin told me she had never made but one break
in her life, and that was in the first heat of her first race. As
Marvin stepped out of the sulky behind her I took him by the
hand and said, “ Charley, this has paid me for the whole trip,
for I never expected to see anything like this during my life.”
I said to Mr. Marvin, “ What would a thing like that cost?”
He replied, ‘‘ Only $50,000.” I looked at my purse and made
up my mind that I could hardly afford to own her as much as
I would like to, not being a Robert Bonner.

Next he came out with Fred Crocker 2:253, eleven years
old. He was the first two-year-old to beat 2:30, and his 2:254
was made at that age. He has been a little off, and has had
no work since his two-year-old form. He looked big and
strong, is high in flesh, and has had but little work, but I
think could show better than a 2:20 gait. Marvin is very con-
fident he will give him a record better than 2:20 this year if
he will stand work. When noon came Mr. Marvin invited me
to his house, which is situated near the entrance to Palo
Alto. It is a handsome cottage, and its occupants, Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin, with their three children, are a family that one
seldom meets. Mrs. Marvin would compare favorably with
the first lady in the land, who has been so highly lauded and
esteemed, and justly, as every.one concedes. Their children
do honor to their parents, and cannot be too highly spoken
of. As Iam very fond of children, I assure you I enjoyed
that dinner and the hospitalities of my host and hostess.

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 153

After dinner Mr. Marvin hitched up a team and drove
me down to the stables of the thoroughbreds, and after look-
ing them over we tooka look at the new Stanford University,
which is situated at Palo Alto. From there we drove over
to the residence of Senator Stanford, which is a lovely place,
very large grounds, beautiful shrubbery, and everything that
delights the eye and pleases the mind. There is no use for
me-to attempt to describe the many things I saw. The only
way to appreciate Palo Alto is to go and see it.

The next day I was invited down to San Mateo to visit
William Corbet’s place, the home of Guy Wilkes, 2:154, and
his son, Sable Wilkes, the fastest three-year-old, 2:18. This is
one of the handsomest places I ever saw in my life. It is a
farm of about 500 acres, bounded on one side by the Pacific
coast. It lies very level and is laid out like a landscape gar-
den, well arranged pastures, paddocks, stables, etc., in fact,
everything was in perfect order and kept so by its efficient
superintendent, the great reinsman, John A. Goldsmith. John
went to California when a boy and has grown up with the
country. He is to-day one of the brightest stars of California’s
many great horsemen, and best of all is self-sustaining. They
have a three-quarter mile track, where their colts are trained.
Guy Wilkes, of course, is the premier stallion and I think he
is as good a son as George Wilkes sired, if not the best. He
is a finely formed bay horse with plenty of substance and
plenty of speed, as he has demonstrated, and as game as a
horse could be, and is the sire of trotters as well. Sable
Wilkes, his son, is a very fine horse and the greatest three-
year-old yet produced, trotting to a record of 2:18. Isaw a
handsome three-year-old filly by Guy Wilkes step a quarter in
thirty-four seconds with ease, and several others that could
show from 2:30 to a 2:20 gait, ranging in age from two to four.
I tried to buy one, but my purse was not long enough. I was
invited in by Mr. Corbett to a bounteous dinner. He is a
very fine, courteous gentleman. He enjoys showing visitors
his stock, which he is very proud of, and well he may be. I

154 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

bought the bay mare Rosa Mac, 2:204, six years old, by Alex-
ander Button, sire of Yolo Maid, three-year-old record 2:14,
pacer.

The next day I visited Bay District track and found O.A.
Hickok working some colts, among which was a very fine bay
mare, out of Alandorf by Onward, dam Alma Mater, and I
think, take her all in all, she was as fine a mare as I ever saw,
size, color, conformation and gait. JI understood she was just
fairly broken and I really think she could show a two-thirty
gait. Hickok was very sweet on her and said he would be
very glad to give $5,000 for her. He was working another
the same age, a seal brown stallion by Steinway, that was also
very promising. As he came up the stretch at the finish of a
mile Hickok took hold of him and spoke sharp. He squared
away and acted like a trotter. I verily believe he went a few
strides close toa 2:20 gait. I began to make up my mind
they had great colts in all parts of California. At the same
time I saw an old gentleman working a bay four-year-old colt,
by Guy Wilkes, which they all told me could trot in 2:30 or
better, and from what I saw I had no reason to doubt it.
There next appeared on the track Dan McCarthy, a very in-
dustrious man in the horse business, as he has all kinds and
colors. Dan is always ready to buy a horse of any kind at
his price. He was driving a nice brown gelding by Election-
eer, that I should judge could trot in 2:30 or better when in
condition. I liked him and tried to buy him, but Dan and I
could not quite agree on the price, so we stepped in his wagon
and took a drive around by the Cliff House, and it is a grand
sight to a new comer to see the seals playing in the water and
lying on the rocks. There were probably one hundred of
them in sight, barking and chewing at one another like pup-
pies. From there we took a drive down through the park
and back to the city.

When we arrived at the Palace Hotel I met James Durs-
ton, who lives just across the bay at Oakland. Jimmey was
looking very fine and tells me he likes California very much;

EVERY MAN HIS OWN, TRAINER. 155

says he has made some money there the last year and had got
it yet. That is more than the boys can all say. Jimmey is
an industrious man and always looks out for himself. He
told me he had just sold to James Golden of Boston a very
nice entire colt, sired by Dexter Prince, and had made a little
money on him, which I was very glad to hear. I had a very
pleasant evening’s visit with Jimmey, and the next morning
started for Sacramento to see the brown gelding Adair, record
9:174, by Electioneer. I found him at Wilber Smith’s stable-
After looking him over and taking a short ride behind him I
bought him and started for home, which is a long, tedious
ride, and when | arrived home I said California is a nice coun-
try and the woods are full of trotters, but old Salt Point is
good enough for me.

CHARLES MARVIN’S CHAPTER.

TRAINING ‘TROTTING COERTS:

After some hesitancy, I have decided to comply with the
request of Mr. Feek, the author of this work, and contribute
a short chapter on training colts to trot, illustrated with a
brief resume of the preparation that enabled the famous
Sunol to twice eclipse the two-year-old record of the world.
My hesitancy, at first, in deciding to comply with Mr. Feek’s
invitation was due to several objections that suggested them-
selves to my mind. First, as is pretty generally known, I am
myself about to embark on the uncertain sea of authorship,
and will shortly submit to the consideration and judgment of
American horsemen an exhaustive work on “ TRAINING THE
TROTTING HORSE,” in which the Palo Alto system of devel-
oping colt trotters will be carefully and fully treated in every
detail. Being so engaged, the thought naturally suggested
itself that perhaps I owed it to myself to give my sole atten-
tion to my own literary venture. Secondly, I realized, es-
pecially after some months of work on the forthcoming book,
how impossible it is to write satisfactority of a whole system
of training in a single chapter. To give you an adequate idea
of a method of training, such as that practiced at Palo Alto,
is only possible in a good-sized volume—and, of course, had I
been able to treat it in a chapter or two I would never have
thought of writing a book. Still another objection was that
this chapter has to be written at very short notice—but
against all these objections my desire to accommodate the
genial and gentlemanly Syracuse trainer has prevailed. Some
who may never see it fully explained in my book, may have

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 157

this volume in their hands, and thus get an inkling of the
Palo Alto system. And I trust that both this work and my
own, when complete, will be sufficiently instructive to deserve
well of all breeders, trainers, and horse.lovers in general.

At the outset, then, I desire the reader to understand
that in writing this chapter no thought of a complete elucida-
tion of the Palo Alto system is entertained. I can only
endeavor to give a general idea.of that system, touching
briefly on the salient outlines, and leaving the treatment of
details to the volume of which this chapter is but a faint and
distant echo.

Every trainer has his own ideas, his own peculiar methods,
and his private reasons for them. The methods practised at
Palo Alto are, I am aware, somewhat unusual, and in some of
their features perhaps radical. The probabilities are that if
these methods were to be passed upon by a jury composed of
all the trainers in the country, they would be condemned by
a large majority. Indeed, had these methods been outlined
and submitted to such a jury ten years ago, the popular voice
would have loudly proclaimed not only that such training
never did make a trotter, but that it never cou/d make one.
Yet by these same methods have been developed the fastest
yearling, the fastest two-year-old, and the fastest four-year-
old trotters the world has seen. Under them a yearling has
been taught to trot in 2:314, a two-year-old in 2:18, a three-
year-old in 2:193, and a four-year-old in 2:16, not to mention
dozens of other trotters of high merit. Only one three-year-
old in the world has trotted a mile as fast as Palo Alto’s
champion two-year-old ; and every man knows that scores of
aged horses haye been trained for seasons before they could
gain a mark equal to that of the dead yearling Norlaine! Do
not these facts seem to show that there is merit in this sys-
tem. If there is no merit in the system, surely then the Palo
Alto horses must be the most wonderful born trotters in the
world !

I neither ask or counsel any trainer or any breeder to

158 EVERY MAN, HIS OWN TRAINER.

discard his methods and adopt mine; but I do say that what
it has accomplished justifies me in giving it to the world as
an improved system of training young horses to trot, and that
its study can certainly not fail to prove beneficial to every
trainer, breeder and horse owner that is not too wise to learn.
In my judgment there is no man so thorough a master of his
profession that he cannot learn from the successful experiences
of others.

A great deal has been written for and against colt trot-
ting, and I have observed that the controversies have been
conducted much on the same lines as the discussion on breed-
ing from performing sires and dams. As a rule those who
have opposed breeding from developed stallions, are those
whose favorite horse failed to win honor on the turf; and as
a rule the breeders and trainers who have failed to produce
colt trotters, are sure that jearly)training 1s.“ dead wronee.
For my own part I know that it is possible to train a colt for
speed from his yearling form to maturity with none but bene-
ficial effects. Four colts out of five that have suffered from
early training, have suffered because they were improperly
and injudiciously handled. There are a good many men who
can successfully handle a mature horse,and there are seul
more who can drive a horse well after some one else has made
a trotter of him; but the men capable of intelligently and
properly educating colt trotters are as scarce as 2:15 horses.
We are all too anxious, and many a colt has been a victim to
the driver’s impatience to accomplish in a week what should
not to be attempted in two months. To listen to the general
clamor against colt training, one would imagine that aged
horses never were known to break down. All horses gifted
with natural speed have not the quality to train on; and such
“so wrong’ before he reaches the limit of his
speed capacity, no matter when he is trained. And if he

the quicker the owner and trainer find it out the better. His
room is better than his company.

I am not only strong in the belief that the colt can be
trained for speed from his infancy without injury, but that
such training if successfully and judiciously given is a great
and lasting benefit. It will make him a better aged horse.
Let two colts, in all other things equal, be raised together, the
one trained from his yearling form, and the other not worked
until he is five years old, and the chances are not one in ten
that the latter will ever see the day that he is the equal of his
trained brother, either in speed or in any of the qualities that
go to make a race horse. He will not only be uneducated, of
untrained instinct, and wilful; but he will be deficient in physi-
cal development as compared with the trained one. Can the
sluggard run, jump, wrestle with the athlete whose muscles
have the substance, hardiness and tone of long and constant
training ?

But you will ask me, ‘ Do you not think that a great and
excessive effort by a young colt will prove permanently detri-
mental?’? And my answer would be, asa rule, yes. But you
can train a colt, and if exceedingly promising, you can give
him a fast record, without necessarily requiring of him a strain-
ing and exhausting effort. If there is one thing more than
another, with reference to training colt trotters, which I would
enforce and grind into the reader’s mind it is this: NEVER
require of the colt more than he can do within himself. Never,
either in his work or his performance, carry him to the last
inch of effort, the point of exhaustion, for at that point not
only does all development cease, but you have probably un-
done many weeks of work, and have not unlikely inflicted a
permanent injury.

Very little thought then is necessary to comprehend what
a delicate matter the training of a young trotteris. If you
do not carry it far enough your work will be barren of imme-
diate results, while if you carry it too far you will spoil all
that is already done and ruin the material that might have

160 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

made a star performer. It calls for the most careful judg-
ment, constant watchfulness, and keen discrimination in know-
ing how far to go.

Presuming that the reader has decided to find out whether
he has the making of a trotter without waiting seven or eight
years on what may prove a forlorn and expensive hope, he
will naturally be endeavoring to settle upon a system of train-
ing. He is, we will presume, a sensible reader, who does not
need to be told that the same medicine will not suit every
patient, that the same diet and training is not best for all chil-
dren, or that no cast-iron set of rules can be formulated under
which every colt can be best handled. Ven volumes, cover-
ing every possible phase of training, will not relieve the trainer
from the necessity of using brains in his work, but on the
other hand no trainer of good judgment can fail to increase
his skill by study of the experiences of others.

The colt’s education should begin at weaning time, or at
about five months old. He is first made halter-wise and
learned to lead. The colts should be led to and from the
paddocks every day until thoroughly gentle and obedient to
the halter. After our youngster is thoroughly halter-wise, he
is ready for his first lesson as a trotter. Now we introduce
him to the Kindergarten.

This is a minature track of about the regulation shape,
which should be about one-twelfth of a mile in length,
and ten feet wide, with long stretches and well thrown
up turns. The track should be of a soil good for
the feet. and should always be kept deep and quite
soft. The inner rail should not be perpendicular, but
should rather sharply incline outward at the top, so
that the colt can hug it closely all around and yet not
strike his knees or feet on the posts, of which there should
be no more than necessary. On this track, after carefully
booting the youngster, we give him his first work. In my
book I treat this part of the education with that detail and
completeness which its great importance demands, but of

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 161

course space here will not admit of giving minute instructions.
Suffice it to say that the colt soon learns to trot around this
ring, free and untrammelled, with the steadiness of a track-
horse, and he shortly becomes quite obedient to the voices
and whips of the men in the center. He learns to regard the
men as teachers and the whips not as instruments of torture.
It requires a good deal of skill, practice, and judgment to use
the minature track successfully. You must learn how far to
go and how far not to go, which is largely a matter of judg-
ment differing with different colts, and which only experience
can teach. The benefits of the work on the colt-track are
manifold. Briefly, it learns the colt to trot, and that he is
wanted to trot; to stick to the trot, and to do it in his free
and natural way; it develops wind and muscle and is healthy
exercise ; and last, but not least, it enables the trainer to see
what the colt’s action is, how he is balanced, how he carries
himself, and what checking, if any, will be necessary later on.
More than this, it enables the trainer to pick out the promis-
ing ones. If he is training at a large establishment he will
soon see the importance of this. Where there are so many
colts that to train all is practically impossible it is a matter of
no small importance to be able to tell at the outset what colts
are the most likely to repay you for the time ‘and trouble ex-
pended upon them. We hear a great many stale remarks in
these days about the worthlessness of ‘lot trotters.’’ The
philosophers of the barn-yard who indulge in this talk, would
have one believe that the colt that is a natural born trotter
is less likely to be a success than the one whose speed is ham-
mered into him through his back. This is ona par with a
great deal more of the stock-in-trade of the more ignorant
class of horse-handlers, who have never deserved the name of
trainers. From Fred Crocker down to Sunol every one of the
Palo Alto stars, was a star among the youngsters in the lot
and on the colt-track.

The colt should have his daily lessons in the track until
he is from twelve to fourteen months old, when he should be

162 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

broken to harness. The first ‘course of instruction is in the
bitting harness, which I need not here describe. After he is
thoroughly used to harness and obedient to bit and rein—
which will take several days of patient and careful work—he
is introduced into the shafts of a skeleton wagon. My sys-
tem, however, is to teach him to go in harness by hitching
him double with a gentle, reliable horse, first on one side and
then on the other. After this he will likely go off at the first
asking in single harness. Drive your colt first to the skeleton
wagon. Now shoe him behind with a light, plain shoe, and
as soon as you get him going straight and clever, hitch him
to a sulkey and his regular track work begins.

Before you work him see that he is thoroughly protected
with well-fitting boots. In looking over your outfit for boots,
if you find such apparatus as a break cart, a supply of toe-
weights and a fit-out for “leading colts with a runner,” put
the toe-weights on the runner, hitch the runner to the cart,
and ship the outfit to some of the many trainers who will
have use for these tools.

Colts, as a rule, and especially yearlings, need no jogging.
They should always be fed fully and well, and must be kept
stout. Up till two years old the colt will not eat more than
his growth calls for. He is young and nervous, and by the
time you get on the track you will find him ready to step off
at a good pace. Start him up at a good gait for 100 to 150
yards, then turn slowly and brush him back. Repeat this
several times, but not enough to tire the colt, carrying him
up to his clip at some part of each brush, and giving him a
breathing spell at-‘every turn. After this take him mpme
move his boots and care for him properly, seeing that he is
not exposed to drafts. After he is cooled out leave him to
himself, as if undisturbed he will probably lie down and rest.
Remember that colts need little blanketing, no sweat-hoods
and no scraping. They do not need to be reduced, but to be
kept stout.

Continue this work right along, giving him a run out and

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 163

a let-up occasionally to freshen him, and be sure to stop if
you see that the colt is not at himself and is not improving.
When he is about two years old you will shoe him. If he is
a pure, good-gaited colt he will need from 8 to 10 ounce
shoes in front and from 4 to 5 behind. Of course as he gets
age and strength his work will increase, but the brush should
never be greatly lengthened. For an aged horse, the brush
work should not exceed a quarter of a mile, and you will
Seldom need’ to keep the horse “on his toes.” for that dis-
tance. Always leave a link to call for. Keep the colt or
horse fresh and eagér, so that he will take the work willingly,
not asa task, and go on his nerve and courage, not have to
be forced along. When your horse gets stale and track sick
you have overdone it, and may as well make up your mind
that you have taken a long slide down hill, and will have to
go back and make up the lost ground as slowly as before.
Remember that the short brush makes SPEED, and SPEED is
the first essential. After you have your three-year-old going
quarters in 85 seconds—if that is fast enough to suit you—
you can condition him for mile and repeat performances.
You may have him keyed up as hard as nails, but if your
competitor can go a quarter in 85 seconds, and you can go in
37, he will beat you all the way, and do it easily while you
are struggling and straining. He will be fresh after your colt
is dead tired, and no matter how.game your colt is, the other
one will have him a beaten horse before you know it, simply
because he can do with ease what you cannot do with your
utmost effort. When you have developed whatever measure
of speed you believe sufficient to win your race, you can fit
the colt for the race as Sunol was fitted, but remember you
must first have the speed. CGaameness and condition and all
that won’t prevail against a competitor who can throw dust
in your eyes without half trying.

This brings us to Sunol—and then we are done. Sunol
is a finely shaped bay mare, of the most racy form, sixteen
hands high at the rump and fifteen-two at the wither. She is

164 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

finely finished all over, with the best of legs and feet, and has
remarkable length from the hip to the hock. Her height over
the quarter, and her short steep rump, give her a remarkably
greyhoundish appearance. She is by Electioneer, and out of
Waxana, by General Benton. Waxana’s dam was Waxy, the
most satisfactory version of whose pedigree shows her to have
been a full sister to Annette (the dam of Ansel, 2:20,) by Lex.

ington, out of a Grey Eagle mare. Sunol was foaled April 14,
1886.

Her work was substantially on the plan outlined above.
I began to break her to harness at about a year old, and found
her the most high-strung, nervous, and difficult colt that I
ever handled. She was mean when first) hitched, and it was
only with the expenditure of the greatest patience that she
was ever got to be at all tractable. After I got her to going
in harness I worked her in the manner described above, never
driving more than half a mile at any gait, and always making
short brushes. She was wonderfully speedy from the outset,
and early in the spring I saw that, if all went well, I had in the
Waxana filly a star of the first magnitude.

She was entered to trot at Los Angeles on the 5th of
August, 1888. I shipped my stable there about July 20th,
and up till this time Sunol had never been driven a mile in
her life. Four days before the race I gave her a full mile
in 2:404, (she had shown me the ability to trot quarters
better than thirty-five seconds.) Then I repeated her in 2:38.
Two days before the race I gave her a mile and repeat in 2:36
and 2:334. Vesolia, by Stamboul, was her competitor in the
race, and Sunol won in straight heats—the first heat in 2:344,
the second in 2:25. She was very frightened of the people,
which was the only difficulty in managing her. Our stable
was then shipped home, and the filly got no more miles, but
the usual work, with occasional fast quarters and halves, until!
the meeting at Petaluma, late in August. Before her race at
Petaluma she got amile and repeat in 2:38 and 2:33. She
broke in the first heat of the race, but captured the heat in

EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER. 165

2:281. The next she won, pulled up, in 2:26. She was not
taken from home again until October, in the second week of
which we shipped her to the Bay District Track at San Fran-
cisco. She was now suffering from sexual causes, and was not
at herself. She was to perform on October 20th, and before
that day I worked her a mile and repeat on two occasions.
The first time was in 2:32 and 2:25, the second in 2:284 and
2:23. These were the only miles she was driven until the 20th,
when she lowered Wildflower’s 2:21, which had stood for
seven years unapproached as the two-year-old record of the
world. Sunol trotted that day in 2:20. We decided to start
her on the 27th to lower her own record, but she was given no
more miles until that day. The track was good, except in
front of the grand stand, where it had not dried out. We
came out for the word, and got it, with Mr. Orrin A. Hickok
driving a running horse as a prompter. According to the
official time we went the first quarter in 35 seconds, the sec-
ond in 34}, the third in 344, and the fourth in 343, making the
mile in 2:18. According to my watch, which I carried in my
hand, we made the first quarter in 35, the second in 35, the
third in 54, and the fourth in 84, the watches timing the mile
the same—2:18. This was the last mile Sunol was driven up
_to this writing (March 15, 1889). Although so sensitive and
high-strung, Sunol is not a bad actor. She shows no disposi-
tion to break, and only made one break in all her miles. She
is courageous and anxious, but sticks to the trot. This, in
brief, is the story of the training and performances of the
greatest two-year-old that has yet appeared—a filly that has
set the two-year-old record of the world at a mark which it is
a mighty achievement for a horse of any age to equal, and one

which I do not expect to see equalled by another two-year.
old for many a year.

If I have here succeeded in giving a faint idea of our
method of training, I have accomplished all I have aimed at.
My work on “TRAINING THE TROTTING HORSE” will be
fully illustrated, and will treat upon every point in breeding,

166 EVERY MAN HIS OWN TRAINER.

rearing, breaking, training and trotting, management in the
stable and on the race track, driving in races and preparing
for races, and the treatment of the accidents and ailments
that all horses in training are subject to. It will moreover
contain full training and racing histories of the greatest horses
I have driven, from the mighty Smuggler downward, includ-
ing all the Palo Alto stars. The work will be published in
New York this summer, and I hope to make it one that will
deserve a place in the library of every breeder, trainer, and
general horseman in America.

CHARLES MARVIN.
“Palo Alto,’ California, March, 1889.

APPENDIX.

One thing which I have forgotten and which I think is
important enough to add an appendix, is in case of a stiff-
kneed horse, as we term it when one has not enough knee
action and does not get his front feet out of the way of his
hind ones, goes stubbing along and sometimes forges. Many
times in these cases a string of bone rattles buckled loosely
above the pastern or fetterlock joint will make them pick up
quicker and get their feet out of the way.

If this does not have the desired effect, use a loaded roll
made of four-ply buckskin, the upper and lower ply one-third
larger than the two middle ones, and fill them with deer’s
hair so they will be soft and won't chafe. Fill the two
middle ones with flax-seed and small shot until you get the
weight desired, which is usually six ounces each, but I have

_used as high as eight. Have four buckles and billets attached

with a tongue to lap by where the roll comes together, so as
to prevent the ends of the roll from chafing.

They should be buckled up to fit the ankle, for if there is
much play to them they will chafe the skin. I used a pair of
these rolls this morning for the first time on a horse that had
never trotted a quarter better than forty seconds without
them. He just stepped me off a quarter in thirty-seven sec-
onds. That was what refreshed my memory in omitting this
point. I have used them for several years, and the more I
use them the better I like them.

Having recently enlarged my facilities for manufacturing,
I am now prepared to execute orders with promptness and
dispatch. My goods are first-class in all respects, and fully
warranted in every particular. Constant improvement, and
strict attention to the wants of the trade, has gradually
brought my work to the front, and the increasing sales from

year to year is sufficient proof of its quality.

~~; ROAD WAGON,

Recently patented by me. This wagon proves a universal
favorite among horsemen generally, it being light, durable
and strong, and at the same time so simple as to allow me to
offer it at a figure within the reach of all. Gears painted any
color desired, with either Concord, Spindle or Piano Body.
I also manufacture light wagons and buggies of other styles

suitable for light driving.

PATENT SULKIES.

‘My PATENT COMABNATION SULKIES have been in use
for eight years, and their superiority clearly established.

Messrs. James Golden, J. J. Bowen, W. H. Saunders,
Frank Van Ness, A. J. Feek, and other leading horsemen use
them and pronounce them the best in use. They have stood
the most rigid tests and proved their superiority in strength,
durability, lightness and elegance. In their manufacture
every piece of lumber is most carefully selected, and tested,
iron work is solid (not jumped), wheels, bolts, and in fact
every part of the Sulky is hand made.

In construction the greatest strength and stiffness is se-
cured by strengthening the resisting and sustaining power at
all important points.
| Injmy “ IMPROVED” SULKY, ‘the Axlethas* been eser

back, (see cut), in order to secure greatest possible room, also
to keep the horse from hitting the Axle.

These Sulkies are built any width or height desired with-
out interfering with the rigidity of the Axle. I claim for
them that they are the easiest riding Sulky made.
