four races that season, in which he was second in 

 two, and third in one, and finished the season at 

 New York, where he was so lame that he could 

 hardly trot at all, and finished eighth in the first 

 heat, when I drew him. I trained him again in 

 1900, and started him in two or three races, when 

 he became so lame I had to send him home, and it 

 is not probable that he will ever again listen to the 

 admonitions of a starter. Dare Devil possesses all 

 the gameness of the family of which he is a dis- 

 tinguished member, and at the time he took his record 

 of 2.09^ could have trotted a mile in 2.06 or 2.07.
