 How Ma ud s. Made a Mile in 8:lO 1-4.
 From the New York Hersld.l
 The peerless Maud s. has once more bea- ten the scythe bearer and covered herself with glory by placing on the record credit that is full second faster than any other horse in the world has ever trotted And what is more she did it easily, positively easi- Iy, and the great feat did not appear to e9- hat1st her at all. Her powers of endurance are equally as wonderful as her resources of speed, and there seems to be no limit to the latter It was beautiful day, all conditions being suspicious, the temperature, atmos- phere wind and track being particularly fa- vorable for 8 great performance, and about, fifteen thousand persons were present, the ladies' stand being filled to it's utmost capaci- ty with the beauty and fashion of the city and country. Among those present were Mr. William H. Vanderbilt, Captain Jacob H. Vanderbilt, E. w. Vanderbilt, Dr. Seward Webb, William Turnbull J. H. Rut- ter, James Marvin, s. w. Caldwell, Edwin Ellis, T. c. Eastman, Foster Dewey, W. L. Scott and General George J. Magee, who came from Saratoga on a special train and occupied seats on the upper floor of the judges stand. MT. Vanderbilt appears quite as proud of his marvellous mare as of his millions. Upon arriving at the track, ac- companied by his entire party, he repaired to the stables to view and ascertain the con- dition of the mare, for whom he is as solicit ous as though she were child. After learn ing from her manager and driver that she was in every respect as fine as they had ever known her to be, he drove to the judges stand with a cheerful and hopeful expression on his countenance. The party arrived at ten minutes past three p. m. and immediate ly afterward a scraper and drag were run over the inside of the track.
 ON THE TRACK.
 At twenty minutes past three o'clock p. mz the mare appeared coming on the track near the quarter and walking slowly along the backstretch to the half mile pole. Then she was logged slowly for about two miles, turn ed and logged mile at about 2:25 gait, breaking as she passed the stand. Turning a second time at the middle of the upper turn, she met the running horse Monitor, driven in harness by Charley Green. At the head of the homestretch Monitor took up a posi- tion about two lengths behind her, and then she came down the wire in easy strides that were accelerated when Bair nodded for the word, which he received during an almost solemn stiffness. Bair gave her her head from the first stride, not driving her, but al lowing her to trot at her own sweet will, in stead of steadying her around the first turn as he has invariably done heretofore, and she strided evenly and gracefully to the quarter in 32R seconds-a 2:n gait.
 THE TIME RECORD.
 On the backstretch, without even being clucked to, she speeded along at PHO cliI and passed the half in l:O54 Directly after ward Bair spoke to her for the first time, and she crouched lower to the ground and i'm proved her pace, but swung out about twenty feet from the rails. Seeing that she respond ed SO encouragingly Bair resolved to let hel choose her own course around the turn, an6 without once taking the inside position sht covered the third quarter in 325 and passed the post in 1871. Squaring for home Greer moved Monitor up to her wheel and Bail called on her for a finish. Answering tht call in charming style she maintained througf the homestretch the same uniform and amaz ing pace that had marked the previous guar ters, every motion of her feet being watched intensely by the vast concourse of spectators each of whom sat or stood in almost breath l less suspense with features refecting subduei excitement until she dashed under the string and the watches were scanned. Cheer afte cheer then rent the air, the whole assemblag instinctly comprehending that the record hac been beaten, and signalizing their apprecia | tion of the heat by unrestrained applause. MIR. VANDERBILT PLEASED.
 The Vanderbilt party was especially enthu siastic and fairly overwhelmed their leade with congratulations, which were graciousl, acknowledged by the recipient, whose coun | G0udlC0 DcdAuSu H1Gu uCukAC. Wn6l ! the mare returned to the stand another salv of applause went up, and when the magi ! figures 2:104 were hung out long eontinue' | cheering followed. The last quarter wa ! made in 32a seconds at the rate of 2:11 t. | the mile, the performance in detail bein quite as astonishing for it's uniformity as tn achievement as whole. The first and las | quarters in 0.32a the second in O:324; tn I third in O32a; the first half in 1:O54; tn middle half in s1:O44, and the final half Ii \ 1:O5, is record that is no only the superlative of excellence, bu one that can scarcely be realized, s astounding are the fgurSs So high a rat of trotting speed, so evenly maintained for full mile, is. something undreamed of before After the excitement subsided Mir. Wander | bilt gave orders that the mare be not trotte another heat. Both Captain Stone and Bai
 were anxious to trot her another heat, an | were confident that she could go still lower | but deferred to the wishes of Mir. Wander ! bilt. The latter was interviewed by tn I Herald correspondent, to whom he expresse
 great happiness over the performance Whe
 asked if, having said at Buffalo that he woul I permit the mare to trot until she aecon
 plished a feat that satisfied him, he now ha
 any objection to stating what would satisf I him he said 'I will be satisfied with 2:O9 | started her this season, expecting that sh | would make that record, and I am now eel
 tain that she can do it." Observing ths
 the correspondent had timed the heat, |
 asked, "What did you make the quarters l?
 The answer was 324, 1:05, 1:374. each at
 2:10 gait "That is exactly what made i
 l varied from the judges time quarter of
 second at the quarter and half, but agree
 with them at the third quarter and wire.''
 Maud s. will next appear at Hartford tw
 weeks from to-day, when, if the condition
 are favorable, she will be driven as she neve
 has been before, with view to securing th
 record that Mir. Vanderbilt desires Tn
 evening Charley Green was asked what |
 thought of the performance, and he answered
 "Well, it was grand one indeed, but sh
 could have gone quite bit better, that's m
 opinion, and think had as good an oppo
 tunity to see how she did the work as any
 one."
