TROTTING HORSES 237 



horses, he was decidedly the best trotter in the show. 

 Mr. Winans was perplexed over his three beautiful 

 trotters, and he said he did not know really which 

 one was going to get a prize. He thought Discord 

 stood a good chance on account of his splendid 

 conformation ; again, he had a soft corner for Henri- 

 etta Guy, but he knew Harvest Star was the best 

 trotter. 



The awards were : Harvest Star first ; Mr. Vincent's 

 Prince Gayton second ; and Mr. Winans' Henrietta 

 Guy third. 



The following week Harvest Star won the champion- 

 ship for trotters at Richmond Horse Show under the 

 most eminent judges. 



Prince Gayton won the 1,000 trotting stakes soon 

 afterwards at Manchester. 



The American trotters recently imported have made 

 some good records ; but some of the British-bred trotters 

 have done remarkably well. Archibald, a young trotter 

 by Alvander, has made a 2 mins. 20 sees, record, 

 and his half-brother, Vanalder, holds the British-bred 

 stallion record of 2 mins. 20 sees. The chestnut 

 stallion Set aba, quite a pony, has covered a mile in 2 

 mins. 17 sees., which entitles him to the British-bred 

 pony-pacing record.
