course, and everybody was frantic with ex-
element. The horse, the driver, the track
and the management were praised In turn.
A fine suit of clothing, presented by
Rounds & Co., was thrown over the gal
| liant gelding, and his owner and driver
| fondled him while he was being unhitched
from the sulky.
Mr.. Case was warmly congratulated on
every hand, and Bither bore his honors
becomingly. The old gentleman slipped
away from the crowd, aud sought Mrs.
Case in the ladies' stand. They met and
it was a moment of supreme happiness
to both, as Mr.. Case saluted her with a
kiss, and tears of joy filled her eyes on his
repeating it. There hi met Bither, and
made him a presented, on turning
away, said: "Mr. Case has just
given me thousand, and $500 to be di-
vided among the boys who take care of the
horses" and then added. 81 wish you
would say that the sulky he has just trotted
to weighs % lbs, and was made by Caffrey
for Phalias. We got Lighter one for Jay
Eye See, but he fills it so full behind when
trotting that be is liable to strike it.''
Chow did he trot the miller" asked.
81 didn't drive him a step-didn't even
cluck to him till he got to the half mile,
and then sent him along on his courage.
You see, didn't even touch him with the
whip, although he will stand it. did not
know could come so near beating the
record or might have got a little more
out of him by whipping finish, and those
fellows on the fence bothered him lit
tie"
Meeting Mr.. Case some time later, I
piled him with questions, and his answers
were as follows: 81 was in hopes he might
go in PIP. 1 made the mile in 2:10I. A
gentleman standing near me inquired
How fast?' replied, 4 don't dare to tell
you until it is hing OUT 1 telegraphed
Mack (msaning Mr.. II. D. Mckinney, of
Janesville), Hoop la, or Jay Eye See,
2:1oA;' also wired Mr.. Bull. jay is won
derful fellow, and don't know where he
will trot. What's his value? Well it's a
mine, and no hole in the ground. Ed.
thinks Maud S and Jay would hitch up
we'll together, and pat in wonderful mile.
They go so square and steady, and both
are so willing to trot without pull
ing. You know Pm to trot
him against st. Julien, at the
Gentlsmen's Driving park, New York, two
weeks from to-day. Before agreeing to
do SO I talked with Johnny Murphy, and
he said, 1T won't hurt him. His mnscle is
now strong and hard, and he has not had
pruising races to make him stale. What
hurts horse is overwhelming him in the
spring, before he is seasoned But l
think yet that it is asking great deal of
him to beat tried trotter like st. Julien,
who is coming to his old form; and my
youngster has had no three in five races
as fast as he could go. But We hope he
will go steady and make a good showing,
even if defeated. 1t will be no disgrace to
be beaten by the cid King"
1 then gathered the following remarks,
which owners and drivers let drop relative
to the greatest event of sporting times:
Mr.. W. H. Saunders said, 81 wouldn't
have missed it for 500. He is the great
est piece of trotting horsefesh ever saw.
I think a sod track is the fastest and
safest. A horse will wear longer on such
footing"
johnny Murphy says: 81 timed the
middle half in five. Now look. He will
beat any horse living, in my opinion"
John Barry, standing by, said: "True
enough, but Majolica is easier gated;
could go as fast last spring, and when he
gets right, is apt to be with him."
VIM. Weeks remarked: "A wonderful
little horse. The lay of the track is Just
right for fast time. A slight up grade to
the Half, and little down grade afterward.
The sol is just the thing. All the tracks
through the circuit should be fixed that
way, SO as not to sore up horses. The
hard tracks wear out trotters too quick. A
man pays, say $4,000 for good one, and
gives him bruising race over hard
track. 1t is apt to knock him out.'
A. j. Feek said: "That little black
horse is the wonder of the age. Wander
bilt will have to bring out the little chest
nut mare sooner than he expected"
Jas. Dougrey's opinion: 'He makes all
the other horses look like suckers, but we've
got to have such to keep up the excite
ment."
Budd DobIe said last spring to Mr..
Case: "Let me winter him, and Pll beat
any horse in the world when he is six years
