Chester's Complete Trotting and Pacing Record. 



EXPLANATION. 



The names of the horses in black type, arranged in alphabetical order, are those ot the winners of the 

 races, and under each horse's name the races won by him appear in chronological order. All races are trot- 

 ting, mile heats, best three in Ave, in harness, unless the contrary is shown by the time, stated at the conclu- 

 sion ot the summary, or a different way of going indicated by proper signs. After tne name of the winner 

 appears his description, as " b s " for bay stallion, " br g " f or brown gelding, " gr m " f or gray mare, etc. The fol- 

 lowing figures, in heavy type and in parenthesis, show the best record of the horse to the close of the year 

 1883. Then follow the pedigree of the winner, when known ; the name of nominator, place and date of race, 

 amount of money trotted for, and the names of the horses beaten, in the order of their standing at the close 

 ■of the race, and last comes the time of the heats. The ordinary signs are used to denote the incidents and 

 ■casualties of the ^race. Thus, the character " o " in connection with a number in a bracket indicates that the 

 'horse whose name that sign follows made a dead heat in accordance with the number, viz., (3 0) signifies 

 third heat dead. The abbreviation "dr" signifies drawn; "dis," distanced; "ro," ruled out; "wo," walk 

 •over, etc. Figures following the name of a beaten horse show that he won the heat or heats corresponding 

 ■with the number. When the letter " w " follows the name of a horse, it signifies that he went to wagon, and the 

 letter " s " that he went to saddle. In cases where a horse has a record to harness or wagon, and a faster 

 one to saddle, both are given. When an asterisk (*) is attached to the figures usually denoting arecord, it sig- 

 nifies that the time, being over a short track, is a bar and not a record. The summaries preceded by dasnes 



( ) are subsequent victories of the horse whose description and record have been given, and in these, if 



the name of nominator or of place of trotting, or of both of these, are not given, it signifies that they are 

 identical with those of the race immediately preceding. It sometimes happen s that a horse winning as a 

 stallion wins later as a gelding, in which cases the castration is shown by the change in the description, but 

 there being no renewal of the name, it will be understood that it is the same horse under changed conditions. 

 In order to keep them of record, losing performances against time are given under the name of the losing 

 horse, as a part of his history, and the fact that he lost is mentioned in the summary. See index of beaten 

 horses for further explanation.
