claim to know something OF horseflesh
and taught them that the records are low
cred faster nowadays than OF yore, and
that the lowering comes from unexpected
quarters at times.
1t is understood that there is already
talk Of meeting for Maud s. and St.
Julien, and not a few "old men" in tur
matters give out that they are ready tc
back the mare who won SO gamely to-day
1t was quite evident that she was moi

during the last heat, as her driver slowed
up and looked over his shoulder on the
home stretch, probably to save Trinkei
from being distanced; she might have

From the word 90 on the third heat she
trotted very level and square, reaching the
quarter in 2:l2 gait; the second quarter

gait. Her performance raised the excite

with cheers in her honor,
The history OF the heat was as follows:
At the beginning Maud S. sold at about
$500 to $3.50 in the pools. Owing to the
bad behavior OF Trinket they got off with
some difficulty, and when they did get

Maud S. would win, and there was now
only anxiety tssee her do her best. Bets
were freely offered that she would make a
3:l7 record. The pair went away very
fast, but Maud S. soon evidenced her supe-

ground, while the deniEens OF the grand

made the mile at an astonishing gait, and
without a break, in 2:l3l. All the re-
