THE BEST TROT OF THE SEASON


UNPRECEDENTED CONSECUTIVE TINE.
Excellent as the trots that have already taken
place the Fashion Course have been, and great as
the interest which the close contests which they
have produced have excited in sporting circles, the
trot which came off yesterday on the ,ame track
must take precedence Of ALL This arises from the
extraordinary time made by the two splendid tro;.
ters that contested for the prize offered in tho four
consecutive heats that were before the race was
decided. The record Of two mares going TO wagon,
in the unprecedented consecutive time Of 2:2Si,
2:29l, $780, and 2:3l, stands at present without a
parallel. II il true that Flora Temple and George
Patchen have gone down lower in the scale Of the
old scythe-bearer but neirher Of them have ever
made 30 many consecutive heats in the same time.

horses to victory than any other driver living. and
who drove the winner of yesterdays race, declared
he never could have anticipated such fast consecu-
tive time being made.
