She retired in the best of condition and her campaign in the east this season will be awaited with interest. San Felipe is a trotter of a different type, larger and more rugged.

(sister to Waldo J. 2:08) by Bob Mason 2:27%; second dam a daughter of A. W. Richmond. Char- ley De Ryder bas had him in hand for some time, after he had been handled by two or three other trainers, and gave him the preparation for the cam- paign of 1912 which stamped him as a trotter of very high order. De Ryder started him in ten events against stiff fields, and in each he was re- turned the winner. San Felipe made his first start at Pleasanton July 24th in the 2:15 trot, while he won without getting out of that class. He started again the next day and repeated his initial performance, dropping the first heat and then heading his field to the wire in the next three. He had no engagements until the San Jose meeting where he won a five-heat contest, the longest-drawn-out event he has ever engaged in, and two days later at Sacramento won the last three heats of a four-heat race and trotted to his first mark faster than 2:10. At Stockton his two events were taken in straight heats, and he was never beaten again save at Hanford, where, over a half- mile track, he lost the first heat to Vaster. One start at Los Angeles and two at Phoenix, all with time faster than 2:10, wound up his season's labors, his record being made in his first race at the latter city. He has never been forced to the limit of his speed, but his friends put the 2:05 mark well within his capacities in the future.
