BIGELOW of Yolo, who took the Diahlo • mare Tags east last spring and reduced her record from 2:13 to 2:11 J, is home again, having ar- rived about ten days ago. "Det,"as his friends all familiarly call him, had a very successful trip. He started Tags in fifteen races, out of which she won first money eight times and was inside the money in all the others. Bigeiow then sold her to Robert Salter, a well-known business man of Minneapolis, who intended to race her on the ice this winter, but is so pleased with her way of going and great speed that he intends racing her in the 2:12 and faster classes on the Grand Circuit next year, and confidently believes she will pace to a record of 2:06 or better before the season ends. At Denver, Tags paced the middle hal- of a heat in 594 seconds, the greatest flight of speed ever seen on that track. It was in the second heat. As she got the word she stepped in a hole in the track and fell to her knees, breaking her check at the same time. When she got up and Det got her to pacing the last horse of the bunch in front of her was at least an eighth of a mile in the lead. The check being broken it was impossible to hold her and she flew from the first quarter to the third in 591 seconds, and had them all beaten. She simply jogged home in 2:13 aod won the next two heats as she pleased. Mr. Bigeiow thinks she should reduce her record several seconds next year, and says she is as game as any trotter or pacer he ever drove. Tags is out of Bonnie B. by St. Clair (formerly Fred Low) second dam by old John Nelson. Mr. Bigeiow has many interesting things to tell of the Great Western Circuit, through which he cam- paigned his mare. At Hamline track, which is about midway between St. Paul and Minneapolis, there were as high as 65,000 people present on one day of the fair. An
