NJ. .puilcn's Feat.

Uanrronp, CosY., August 27,-Tho
event of the day at the Charter Oak
park was the successful effort OF st.
Julien TO beat his own record OF
2.1l9. Both the day and the track
were favorable for the trial, and
while there were predictions that the
horse would accomplish the feat the
general impression was that the re
cord would not be lowered. When
st. Julien came on tho track appear
ing in fine condition, he and his
owners and tho driver, Mr.. Hickock,
were loudly applaudod by a large
crowd of spectators. Ho gagged
awhile, and then trotted mile III
2.24 to warm him for tho great IN
dcrtaling. Ho came on again for
the trial, getting under high speed.
iIiclok nodded for tho word as he
came to tho wire, and the horse went
down tho stretch and around the
turn at his magniicently even gait,
working like u piece OF machinery,
and hundreds Of watches were held
on him, and every eye watched him
with intense interest. The watches
gave the first quarter at 32a, or at n
I'll gait, and many in tho onthusias-
tic crowd began oxclaiming: "lfe
will do it," His action was perfect
and beautiful down tho back stretch,
and he came to the half-milo pole in
LOS, or at q 2.10 gait, and the OK
citement increased, as did the conf
donco of the crowd on the success Of
tho attempt. The third quarter was
made in 1.3Sf, and st. Julien came at
magnificent speed around the curve
upon the home stretch. AS he APP
preached there wasa thrill of appro-
hcnsion in tho crowd on discovering
that the driver of the drag which
had been smoothing tho track to
make it perfect for the horse, was
sill nj his work work, and feared it
would turn tho horse from his course
or cause him to break, but a quick
turn of the drag to the outside was
made, and the horse came on unim.
pd1ed and without annoyance. Near
ing the Distance the spectators Thought
there was slight slacloning of
speed, but if there was the perfect
handling Of the horse by HickOck re.
vived it, and st. Julien went to work
with u tremendous burst of speed
In an instant as many Watches woro
consulted as there were shouts of
"llo has won, and thercupon they
went up from fhc grand stand and
crowded tho section of the Judges
stand, where many prominent city
and visiting trufmcn had gathered.
Some gave tho time at 2. III. others
at I'LL, but all acknowledged that
the record was beaten, and four TO
liycegreed with the time afterwards
officially announced as 2i1l.
