Nightingale ambitions and trotting lore spill from Buffalo
In a bustling set of early 20th century notes, Geers eyes Nightingale and Phange in Buffalo with hopes for a $20,000 stake as appraisers value trotting stock at $180.5, while a Vienna spring trotting meeting closes with a cab race won by a double team in 6:28. The report mixes racing figures, breeders, and fashion notes on hats and dresses, with mentions of trainers, matador jackets, and stylish linen and lace trends.
