 moved on to Charter Oak Park, Hartford, where the 

 brothers met in two races, John defeating Walnut

 Youngstown, where Walnut won a free-for-all, and 

 Pittsburg, where he also picked up third money in a 

 race won by Gladiator. After winning second money

 first moneys at Pawling, was second to Theresa 

 Sprague at Johnstown and second to Captain Jake at 

 Albany, where she made a record of 2:30. At this 

 meeting Fenner was unplaced to Pilot Knox, and after 

 being second to Prince and unplaced to Breeze at 

 Danbury, he closed the season at Mystic Park on 

 October 30 by saving his entrance in a race won by 

 Charlie Knox. The following is a summary of the
