ST. JGLIRN AND MAUD S.
At S o'clock the California wonder and king
of the turf, st. Julien, was driven ont upon the
track and up past the grand stand by Orrin A.
dckok, who Ia part owner Of the great trotter
and always handles him when on the track.
Prolonged applause and cheers rent the air as
st. Julien was trotted around to get heated
for the greatest effort of bis life. Ee went down
past the judges stand several times before
Hiekok nodded to the judges to give word.
Then he darted around the track without q
running Mate, Or anything else than his driver
to urge him, making his first
quarter in :33. the half mile IN :07. the third
quarter in Ill, and the mile in 2:l3Sz, tho
fastest trotting ever done upon the Rpchester
track. The crowd cheered, and they who were
betting that both horses would lower their
best previous record now offered to give their
opponents odds in the pools at the ,ate of $50.
to $50.
It was forty minutes later when Bair. of
Cincinnati, drove out the 6.year.old mare
Maud 8. Deafening cheers greeted both.
Bair nodded to the judges and Maud was given
a send off the first time she csme down the
stretch. The track, the weather,
less than in St. Julien's. She sped away
magni6oiently and the inYoluntaaS exclama-
tion Of many thousand witnesses was %beauti-
ful!' She completed her frat quarNr In
;,251a, the SEQ nd in 1:05, the third in 1851
and mile in 2:llM. an eniire second lower than
the best trottiDg time on record, q half
second better than the best PAGER ever vent.
The widest enthusiasm followed the per.
formance; every BODY knew the best time on
record had been made before the time X tepers
bad made their announcement or consulted
Bets ranged S5l aud $50 on Maud, and S75 on
ST. Julien as tho better and faster trotter of
the two. St. Julien was brought out for
his second heat. There was less enthusiasm
than before, but he got away in fine style. and
trot Ell TO the end Of his quarter in :31sl, the
second in l:04s&, the third in 1:38sz. ana the
mile In 2:ll&, precisely the same time made
by Maud in her first heat.
The cheers Of the crowd at that time were
strongly mingled with dissatisfaction, for mo
expert time keeper, other than in the judges
stand, made st. Julien's time less than 2:12,
but the official record had to stand.
Each had now earned the special
purse of $4,000 offered to each and
Stone of Cincinnati refused to permit the mare
to be speeded again, while Hckot took the
same position. Maud s, was trotted again
however but she only made her second mile in
2:2OG, and was excused from a
tniru heat. Sc. Julien trotted
third heat in the ordinary time of 2:24I
Handsome testimonials were presented the
drivers of the king and queen Of the turf.
Thus terminated the greatest ,rotling event the
world has ever known.
