Editor Breeder and SportsmanâAs the weather haa been pretty fair for the past three or four weeks and the track in good condition the boys have been letting their horses step along a little but not quite as fast as they are going in California, nevertheless thought I would give you an idea of what we are doing in Texas, The Electrites are all working nicely and I hope to make a good showing with them this year. My two year old Aylwin showed me a mile and his first mile at that, in 2:45, last half in 1:16^, Ias[ quarter in 35 seconds. I have three others that have shown quarters from 40 to 38, all good prospects. Erwin Electrite, four years old, pacer, has stepped a mile in 2:25, one-half id l:0S, one-quarter in 32* seconds, and done it as though she was the real thing. Ima Electrite, four year old, trotter, worked in 2:27$, best quarter 331. Dallas Texas pacer, four years old, stepped in 2:26, best quarter 33- Porto Kico, three years old, trotter, worked a mile in 2:31J, last half in 1:10J. Elrod 2:13$, pacer, stepped a mile in 2:27, and one-eighth in 15 seconds. I also have nine others, three and four year olds, can step close to 2:30. Mr. King has Blondie 2:13 by Electrite in fine shape, but has not worked him faster *tbaa 2:30 yet, quarters in 34 seconds. He also has a four year old brother to Blondie that is showing well. Mr. Foote has John Nolan 2:08 almost ready to go up the line. He is good this year, can step a two minute gait at any time and is big and strong. He also has a two year old out of the dam of Bilma 2:10 that stepped a quarter the other day in 37$ seconods. Mr. Foote tninks he will make a better one than Kilma; the rest of his horses all working well. Mr. L. Nelson, that used to be trainer on Lomo Alto, has a pacer called Texas Queen: he worked her last Friday in 2:25, last quarter in 32 seconds, and
