FrGnE,s Great Trot.
During last week the trotting slate was
broken again, and the fastest heat at that
gait was placed at 2:OS1s, which is IA
seconds better than the celebrated 2:10A
heat made by Maud s., at Rochester, Aug.
II, 1881. This heat was made at Pros
pect park, New York, last Thursday, by
Frank This horse is bay geldlng, by
Abraham, by Daniel Lambert, dam by
Motifs Independent. His first brilliant
performance was to tie Yellow Docks 2:11
during the past season. Then he was
matched against Fl. B. Winship, and he
was defeated in three straight heats, the
best time being 2:10A. He was unheard
of until last summer. In considering this
heat it is necessary to remember that it
was trotted with running mate hitched
to the same vehicle, which is re-
garded as an advantage to
the trotter of several seconds in the
mile, innsmuch as the running horse is
made to draw the weight. A statement by
telegraph has been published Of this
famous heat yet the following particulars
will be read with interest:
This rate of speed is evidently not the
limit of the trotting horses powers, and,
with view Of bringing out the fastest
PAGES of the trotter, running mate has
been hitched up, and by dint of dragging
and encouraging, the trotter's record has
not only been crowded, but to-day it was
cast into the shade entirely.
This end has been attained through in
fundamentally of Johnnie Murphy. This
American driver, by the aid of a broken
down Brighton Beach plug, Gonay, the
runner, and a fairly good trottsr
named Frank, has put to his credit
the fastest mile ever travelled. An
other team, if this pairing process can be
called 'teams" is the Boston horses, 81. B.
Winship and mate These animals have
been contendiug in series of matches,
and a fortnight ago they gave indications
OF beating Maud SIS figure in the near
future. The accomplishment was left for
New York 20 witness. In order to make
these animals put forth their best efforts a
purse of $4,000 was offered at the Pros
poet Park fair grounds to-day, and, as a
further inducement to speed, gentleman
who is closely identified with Long Island
horse-racing promised to give $500 extra
if the record of 2:10M was lowered, and
the sequel shows that this sum will have
to be paid.
Only two teams entered for the event
They were John Murphy's bay gelding
Frank, and running mate Gonay, and
James Golden's II. 3. Winship and
running mate Statesman. Johnny Muir
ply drove his own team and Golden hand
led the lines himself. The gentlemen on
the judges stand were David Bounce, Bay
Ian, and Stems, so that there can be no
doubt that the time is perfectly correct,
and many reliable outside time-keepers
made the time 2:03 instead Of the Off
cial 2:0816,
The only fault to be found with the
management is in the failure to take the
intermediate quarter mile time, which
would have been invaluable to those who
delight ia an analysis. A gentleman who
has timed all sorts of races gives the fol-
loving figures which, while being
undoubtedly nearly correct, cannot
form a record: FEST quarter 32l sec
ouds; second quarter, SO srconds; third
quarter, 331a, and last quarter 291a. 1t is
quite possible that the gentleman who
acted in an official capacity had neglected
to bring split center-second watches, never
dreaming that record would be made on
a track which is VIGOROUSLY slow, and
which was frozen into the bargain.
When it is taken into account, she time
OF the year and the adverse circumstances
under which Franks 2:0S15 was made, the
results seem little short of marvellous, and
it is more than probable that mile in
2:05 can be shown when everything is IA
vorable. What makes the record all the
more startling is that the second heat was
done in 2:10lt by Winship. What sort of
time the other heats would have produced
is a matter of conjecture.
The first heat saw an excellent start,
| Winship almost Immediately going to The
front and showed length ahead at the
first quarter. Between here and the half
Frank was taken up several times, and
dropped back again. Between here and
the three-quarter pole Murphy set his ami
msl going in dead earnest. Once fairly
in the home stretch Frank came up very
rapidly, but Winship hung to him and
the pair went under the wire separated
by half length only, Frank taking
the heat and scoring the fastest time or
record.
In the second heat Winship he'd the bes;
of the send-off, and led by half a length al
the quarter, ana was fully three lengths tc
the bad al the half-mile post. Between
here and the three-quarter post he made
up two of the lost lengths. Fran broke
badly, getting defeated by length in the
fast time of 2:104
The darkness having set IN the deciding
heats were postponed.
