GOLDSMITH MAID.


The recent feat of the celebrated
trotter Goldsmith Maid was an inter-
esting one for horsemen. The track
used was at Belmont, near Philadelphia
After the first heat, which was made,
with a running horse, in 2:l7 81, Il
turn or two was made in the front Of
the grand stand, and down came the
Maid on the quarter as she neared the
judges stand she swerved slightly to-
ward the centre Of the track, and did
not seem prepared to start. Doble
eased her up kindly and gently, and
after Wrenching out her mouth with
a wet sponge and cooling her nostrils,
started down for the second attempt.
Again as she came to the stand did she
try to move toward the grand stand.
Her driver, however, Strengthened her
up, and took the word going like a
bullet from Creedmoor rifle. A light
skip was made near the first quarter
but Doble, with consummate skill,
caught her up before a break was
effected, and the first quarter was
reached in 80 l-2. Another skip after
the post was passed amounted to moth
ing, rs the prince Of drivers was de-
termined to make his word good, and
this was the heat to do it. The half
mile was reached in LOG l-2. Another
skip before the three-quarter post,
Doble holding her down to her work as
firm as rock, The time was now 1:4O,
and the excitement was intense. All
eyes were centered on the game little
empress of the turf, as closely pressed
by the running horse. With both
drivers yelling like Comanches on the
war-path, she came laundering down
the home-stretch, Dob1e giving her
the whip, and using every endeavor to
bring out the full speed of the best
piece of horseflesh on the American
continent. Nearing the seats, every
body was on their feet, we'll assured
that feat would beaccomplished that
| would be remembered to the last days
| of their existence, When so yards
f-om home the elder Doble brought
up, the runner alongside of the mare 8
sulky wheels, and she crossed under
the wire in the marvellous time of 2:l4.
The judges at once placed the figures
upon the blackboard and displayed it
to the view of the audience, when a
wild, enthusiastic shout. went up, the
stable boys tossing up sponges, pals,
ard their hats in one general grand
hurrah. As the Maid was driven back
to the stand, Doble's face was wreath
ed in smiles, and the intelligent ami
NAL pricked up her ears and seemed
to appreciate the ovation quite as much
as the driver.
The applause continued until: the
mare was taken out of the sulky and
walked to the stable. A third heat
was trotted in PIT l-2, the mile being
made by good square trotting, without
even an attempt at a break. These
three heats are the fastest three con-
secutive heats made in the world. Budd
Ooble says most emphatically that the
>rrd will be lowered yet by the
'>efore the season is over.
