NEWTON DIES IN CONNECnCUT From Gaylordsville, Ct., The Pilot is informed of the death of Mrs. John W. Newton at her home there on September 14tb. Mr. and Mrs. New ton have been winter residents of Southern Pines for nearly 20 years, and Mr. Newton has long been a member of the Men’s Club. Mr. Watt won’t be back in Pine hurst this winter. In fact he isn’t even Mr. Watt anymore. He’s Dean Hanover. But that must be rather confusing to William H. Watt’s many Sandhills friends and we hasten to explain that we are not referring to last year’s Tin Whistles Club president, but to a trim little three-year old trotting horse that was named after him, es tablished a series of two-year old and three-year old records under that name, and was recently sold back to hia breeders for $20,000.00 (he was purchased as a yearling by Newark, N. J. banker H. Stacy Smith for $410.00) and given back his original name, Dean Hanover. Dean Hanover (Mr. Watt) trained at Pinehurst during the winter sea son for his two-year old and three- year old campaigns and from the very outset his owner, Mr. Smith, was convinced that the little horse was destined to become a champion. A year ago, as a two-year old, he ful filled the first of the prophecies made in his behalf when he trotted a mile in 2:05 on a half-mile track to be come the 1936 two-year old cham pion. Then, this summer, as a three- year old and still racing as Mr. Watt, he won a sensational race in the Goshen Purse on the one-mile Gosh en track wherein he trotted the final mile heat in 2:00 1-4. On the strength of that performance Laurence B. Shephard of the Hanover Shoe Farms of Hanover, Pa., his breeder, bought Mr. Watt back from Mr. Smith and, in spite of the fact that his reputa tion was made under the name Mr. Watt, gave him back the name Dea i Hanover, the name given him when he was foaled. T’nis because every horse bred by that stable must have “Hanover" as part of its name: New World’s Record Dean Hanover’s (Mr. Watt’s) latest accomplishments were recorded at Lexirigton, Ky., on the past two suc cessive Fridays. Two weeks ago, on the opening day of the Lexington “’Trots,” with Mr. Shepard’s 11-year old daughter, Alma, in the sulky, he trotted a mile against time in 1:58 1-2—a new world’s record for three years olds. Then, last Friday, he turned in another record shattering performance to feature the closing program of the Grand Circuit when, driven by Mr. Shepard, he lowered his own world’s mark for three heats by a stallion, in taking the 59th re newal of the $2,000 Kentucky Stake in 2:00 1-4, 2:00 3-4, and 2:00 3-4. This winter and throughout the re mainder of his career the great lit tle horse will go through his winter training with the Hanover Shoe Farm string and will be seen no more at Pinehurst, but there are other fine prospects in the stables that winter here regularly, and who knows when another one like him may be devel oped. Already this season Pinehurst- trained trotters and pacers have won 125 races, nearly twice as many races as have been won by horses trained at all of the other southern tracks put together—and the seas on still has a few weeks to run. Prospects now are that the Pine hurst race track will have every available stall occupied during the coming winter and that it will share in the unprecedented success predict ed for the forthcoming Sandhills sea son. Returning there this year will be September Weather With Little Rainfall and Low Temperatures Month Was a Pleasant One \VILDC.4T DIVISION WILL REUNITE IN HIGH POINT In notable contrast to the preceed- ing month of August, with its 16 days of rain totaling 11.17 inches, September bestowed only a little more than one quarter of an inch of rain, 20 all-clear days, nine part ly cloudy and one cloudy. Two pass ing showers precipated 26-100 and 11-100 of an inch, making a defic iency of 3.21 inches against the nor mal expectation of 3.58 inches. How ever, the first nine months of the year still show an overplus of five and one-half inches. Also pleasantly contrasting with September of 1936, the month just past recorded lower temperatures, the highest, 92 degrees on the 6th, and the lowest, 47 degrees on the 26th. Compared with the long time normal figures the drop in tem perature was noticeable, 3.4 degrees less than maximum, 6.2 degrees less than minimum, and nearly 5 degrees less than the expected average tem perature. Thirty-seven one-hun- dredths of an inch of rain is the low est recorded since September, 1926 when two hundredths of an inch fell. The average temperature for that month was 77, four degrees above normal. The Fall of 1937 came in on the morning of the 23rd, the day being fair and pleasant, highest temperature 83, low^est 51.
