G3ud y. the queen Ga the Afi '@
Mile in 2.I03 81.
CHICAGO, September 1Sth.-The closing
day of the Jockey Clubs fall trotting meet
ing was marked by tine exhibition 81 speed
and endurance, and will remain prominent in
the memory OF all present. The perform
ance of Maud s., in the face of numerous
disadvantages is set down as the most re-
markable in the history of the turf. The
Chicago track has now shown the best trot-
ting mile, Maud S. s 2:10a the best pacing
mile, Sleepy Toms 2:l2t; and the best
wagon record, HopefuPs 2:164. The horse
men and horses left tonight for Kansas City.
1t was nearly 6 o'clock and growing dark
when Maud S. was brought on the track.
The sky was cloudy and a strong wind was
| blowing At the first send-off Maud soon
left her feet. Her driver, Balm, turned her
back for fresh start. She then trotted to
the starting point square and level, and as
her driver nodded for the word, quickly
| heightened out her stride and got to the quar-
ter in "a seconds. 1t was then believed i'm
possible for her to do better than PIG or 2:lS
but when she got down to the second quarter
at 2:03 gait the fastest record, there was a
breathless interest and expectancy. 1t was
feared, however, that the strong head wind
when she turned, would slacken her speed
materially and render it still impossible to
win. She kept straight forward, however,
without break or skip, and marked the
three quarter mile pole in 1:36. Balm urged
her gently with voice and whip, and she re-
sponded quickly, and the multitude was
breathless as she went the final quarter and
Numbered down the home-stretch in 2:103.
The time by quarters was, first, ,34 second
1903, third :314, fourth :34f. Loud cheers
greeted the mare, her driver and manager as
they went to her stable.

How 1t Was Done.
Boston, September 1Sth-About four

eral Grant had accepted the Presidency of
the company. Since then many people who
lost heavily by the rapid decline Of the stock
have complained that the Grant story was
simply and solely boom to raise the price,
and that after the operators had secured their
IL H., H.
nouncing that the ex-President had changed
his mind and declined the proffered honor.
