The trottiDg record has again been lowered.
Maud S. has brought the mile down to 2:112{,
without any doubt but that everything was fair
ard square. st. julien has recorded The same
time. but with some doubts that he really made
1t. This time is a second lower than the best
ever before made. The trOtting was at ROcheS-
ter yesterday. About 10000 people were present.
At O'Clock the California horse st. julien was
driven out upon the track and past the grand
stard by owen A. HiCkok, who always handles
him when on the turf. He went down past the
judges stand several times before Hickol1
nodded to the judges to give the word. Then
lie DATED around the track without a running
mate or anything else than his driver to urge
him, making his first quarter in 0:33, the half
mile in 1:0I. The third quarter In 1:41 and the
mile In 2:l33i-the fastest trOttilg ever done
upon the Rochester track. The crowd cheered
ard those who were betting that both horses
would lower the best previous record now
offered to give their opponents the odds in the
pools at a ratio Of $50 to $50.
1t was 40 minutes later when Mr.. Bair. OF
Cincinnati, drove out the beautiful 6-year Old
mare Maud S. Bair nodded to the judges and
Maud $. was given send-of the first time she
came down the stretch. She completed her
1:SsA. and the mile In 2:112.-an entire second
lower than the best trotting time on record
and half second better than the best PAGER
ever went The widest enthusiasm prevailed
Every body knew that the best time on record
had been made before the time keepers had
made their announcement or were consulted
Bets now ranged s51 and $50 on Maud, against
brought out for his second heat and there was
less enthusiasm than before, but he got away
in fine shape, trotted to the end Of the first
quarter in 03l2i, second quarter 1:0434, third in
1:3s24, and nile in 2:l124-precisely The same
tine made by Maud s. In her first heat. The
cheers of the crowd were this time strongly
mingled with expressions OF dissatisfaction, Tor
net a single expert time keeper other than
those on the judges stand made st. Julien's
time less than 2:12, but the official record had
to stand. Each horse had now earned the sp2-
cial purse of $4,000 offered to each, and Mr
Stone OF Cincinnati, refused to allow the mare
to be speeded again and Hickok took the same
position. Maud s. trotted again, but she made
her second mile In only 2:2034, and was excused
fICm her third heat, While st. Julian's third
was trotted in the very ordinary time Of 2:24;J
Handsome testimonials were presented to t i1
divers or both horses.
