222 HUMANE HORSE-TRAINING 



Maggie Hummer, a granddaughter of George Hummer, 

 has created a big sensation for a three-year-old ; her 

 trainer, Mr. Jack Skinner, possessing a great gift for 

 training and developing youngsters, can be classed as 

 one of our best trainers. His ambition has been to 

 raise the standard of the British-bred trotter, and his 

 aim has been accomplished, for his young stallion 

 Archibald has beaten all records. 



Probably the fastest mare in England to-day is Mary 

 Shawbay, an American trotter. I have only seen her 

 twice, but I feel sure this mare has a great future in 

 this country. 



The most consistent pacer we have had in England 

 for many years is Richmond, a mile record, 2 mins: 

 18 sees. He was imported by the famous Canadian 

 trainer, Mr. Fred Metcalfe, and sold to Mr. Harry Smith, 

 who won many races with the horse and a first prize at 

 the Royal Richmond Horse Show, besides many private 

 matches. Richmond is a " double-barrel " sound horse, 

 and a credit to his breed.
