81. Julien Trots Nile In Eli IA
HARTFORD, August 27th-At Charter Oak
Park to-day st. Julien, against time. on the
second trial trotted mile in 2:ll4.
SECOND DIsPATCH.l
HARTFORD, August 27th-The event of the
day at Charter Oak Park was the successful
effort of St Julien to beat his record OF 2:li4.
The day and track were favorable, and While
there were predictions that the horse would
accomplish the feat. the general impression
was that the record would not be lowered.
When st. Julien came on the track, appear
ing in fine condition, he and his owner and
driver, Hickok, were literally applaudad by
the crowd of spectators. The horse was
2:l44 to warm him for the great effort. 4
few minutes later he came on again tor the
trial. Getting under high speed Hickok
nodded for the word as he came TO the wire,
and the horse went down the stretch and
around the turn at his msgnificently even
gait, working like q piece OF machinery.
Hundreds OF watches were IN hand, and every
eye followed the horse with intense interest.
The watches gave first quarter at :325is, or a
2:l1 gait, and many OF the enthusiastic crowd
began to exclaim, He will do it !" His action
was beautiful down the back.atretch, and ne
came to the half mile pole in LOO, or 2:l0
gait. The excitement increased, as aid the con-
tidence of the crowd in the success Of the
attempt. The third quarter was made in
1:3Sl, and st. Julien came az magnificent
speed around the curve and upon the home
stretch As he approached the turn there
was thrill of apprehension in the crowd on
the discovering that the driver of the drag
which had been smoothing the track TO make
it perfect for the horse was still ct his work,
and it seemed that he would turn the horse
from his course or Gauss him to break; but a
quick turn of the drag 20 the outside was
made, and the horse came on unimpsded and
without annoyance. Nearing the distance
pole some spectators thought there was slight
slackening Of speed. If there was slackening
IL was only momentary, for st. Julien went to
the wire with tremendous burst OF speed,
and in an instant the watches were consulted,
ard there were shouts of " He has won," and
cheer upon cheer went up from the graad
stand and from the crowded section Of the
judges stand, where many prominent citizens
and visiting turfmen had gathered. Some
gave the time as 2:114, others as 2:11a, but
all acknowledged that the record was beat.
en-, and four out of five agreed to the time as
afterwards officially announcsd-2:114. St.
Julien logged back to the judges stand, the
spectators on the grand stand rising to their
feet, cheering and waving handkerchiefs,
Hickol lifting his hat in response. He was
met by an official of the association and pre-
sented with beautiful floral wreath. A floral
cushion was placed upon the sulky, and
st. Julien was blanketed and led up and
down in front of the stand. President Har-
bison announced that in addition to the purse
Of 81, 800, which had been won by beating the
record, the Association had $500 extra to pre-
sent 10 Hiclzok. The Association, he said,
had been sorely disappointed by the with
drawal of Maud S., but ST. Julien had come
to the front and given a performance equal
to anything which could have been expected
Of Maud S. He proposed three cheers for St.
Julien, which were given with a will.
Hickock was heartily congratulated by the in
vited guests on the judges stand. St. Julien
was then led away, and the greatest event in
the history of trobting was over. The mana
gers OF Charter Oak Park feel rejoiced that
their track, from which the ST. Julien was
purchased by Hickok three years ago, had
been the scene of the greatest triumph of
,rotting. Rarus here made bis best achieve

New York special correspondent says There
is disposition at the Republican headquar

ion, the importance of commercial treaties with
Mexico and Central America, the develop

people of both Oregon and California that the

don't know what means the New York Re-
publican politicians have for thus forestalling

he circumstance that such of them as are
touching for these intentions on his part
would seem to imply that they are dealing in
something more substantial than conjecture.
