The SPORTING WORLD

Garland and Sweet Marie. W. A. Garland, owner of Sweet Marie, 2:04%, who has been spending a few weeks In Chicago, has returned to his home. Los Angeles. Cal. Mr. Garland was authority for the following statement regarding hia sensational unbeaten mare: "Sweet Marie arrived home all right and in perfect health. She Is now ruu-

ning out in a paddpck. with her shoes pulled off, and will remain there until about Jan. 1, when wo will take her up and commence jogging her. About Feb. 1 I will ship her to Trainer Alta McDonald, who will handle her in all her races or exhibitions, whichever we decide on. “1 have confidence in Marie's ability to do still better another year; still her performances of the season just closed were marvelous, and I recognize that she is now where speed of a most extreme nature is necessary to make only a medium showing, setting aside improving the work of this year. Naturally when 1 say I expect or at least have confidence in her doing still better another year I mean that she will reduce her present record and possibly retire the greatest and fastest trotter we ever saw.”
