It was the Hambletonian, richest and most famed of the 25,000 harness races held in the U. S. every summer.

Baby (as he is known around the barns) outstepped his rivals in three of the four major tune-ups for the Hambletonian: Indianapolis' Stallion Stake, Toledo's Matron Stake and Narragansett's National Stake.

...three children in a two-story frame house on Main Street. He likes weekend trips to Little Washington; sitting on the rail fence in front of Arthur Mayo's office on Main Street and talking politics with the boys; fishing in old clothes at Kitty Hawk and Hatteras with Postmaster Billy Culpepper and Bruce Etheridge of Manteo and Dudley Bagley of Currituck; winning a little change at poker during the long winter nights (there is an undenied story that he roundly shellacked the President at poker during a weekend trip); motoring around the countryside in his three-year-old...
