The crowaing sensation Of the week, and Of
the season, was the appearance of Maud 8. and
ST. Julien at Rochester N. 7 :. ia trials against

The trials were witnessed by $4,000 people,
who We're repaid by two most wonderful
performances. Maud i trotting the course on

without exerting herself to Der utmost, In

of st. Julien, as announced by the judges, was
disputed by numbers of outsiders, who hello

GLOBE is of the opinion the ami

will be never satisfied with letting the record
stand IS it is. and it Is already announced that
Maud 3. will make her supreme effort at the
meeting of the National Breeders
Association at Albany, N. T., to
be held the FIRST week in September.
Where st. Julien will make his supreme effort
has not been announced, but that he wall do it
before the end CT the season there Ia little
doubt. In tho meantime there is a prospect Of
another Richmond entering the arena. Robert
Bonner. the owner of Rsrus, Edwin Forrest, and
other fast Ones it is reported is abou. to depart
from his custom and enter some of his horses
in open races. Oe this report, MIR. Bonner
says: You may say that am thinking of
giving public exhibition of the speed of some
of my horses, but haven't made up my mind
fully about it as yet. I'll let the public
know in due time. The GLOBE
has believed that in Edwin For
rest Mr.. Bonner had horse capable of turn
ing mile track, under favorable conditions,
in 2:l0. The GLOBE holds to this belief yet,
and that if Mr.. Bonner shall atari hun in a
public trial that figure will have to be beaten,
or to Dir. Bonner will BIZ long the credit of own
ing the fastest trotter in America. At least
Gir. Bonner owes it to himself and tho Ameri-
can people to give his fastest horse public
trial, or come out and acknowledge that he has
no animal capable of equsling the perform.
