New York City can pride itself on an.
other remarkable team, making the third
one to beat 2:20, and all owned here. The
team is composed of the gray stallion In
dependence, record 2:211i, by Gen. Knox
and the black mare Cleora, record 2:1S31,
by Menelaus. They are owned by Mr.
VIM. Rockefeller and were driven over the
Gentlemen's Driving park course by the
veteran j. P. Gilbert, the driver of King
Philip and other noted horses. After a
warming-up mile they started for the fast
trial, and all the watches on the club
house stoop were held ready for time.
They made the turn handsomely, and down
the stretch to the quarter pole trotted as
steadily as machinery, passing that point
in thirty-four seconds. They reached the
half mile pole in 1:O8115, trotted up the hill
magniicently, and came into the home
stretch at surprising speed, making the
mile in 2:1S4.

miscellaneous.

While Clingstone is resting in the shade
his last years rival Edwin Thorne, is be-
ing trotted all over the country by the
Little General. He has won seven races
in straight heats, making twenty-one
heats in better than 2:30, the fastest OF
which has been 2:19. 1t will take PIP to
beat him at Chicago, if the General sends
him for all he is worth.
"Veritas," in The Spirit says: "Fanny
Witherspoon is developing great deal OF
speed and steadiness in John Splan's
hands. He drove her recently, on the
Cleveland Clubs track, four heats in 2:30,
2:2O, 2:1915, and 2:154. A good judge
who Witnessed the heats, says: She is one
of Splan's kind, and he surely could have
sent her the last heat in 2:14.

race are that he is slow to get away, and
if forced on the first quarter he is almost
sure to make disastrous break, but that
when driven with prudence the first half
he will make a gamy and determined
effort from the half mile
pole to win the heat, and
1t was with this view that his driver chose
to drop behind the pole horse and trail
after taking the word. That this was the
proper course to pursue there will be no
dispute among those that are posted on
the peculiarties of the horse. The driver
of Pedro in pulling his horse to the rear
of the pole horse, gave the driver of Bay
Brino, who had third position, an undoubt
ed right, under theSrules, to take position
next to the pole horse, which he did, and
this is all there is of the statement. that
the word was given to the disadvantage of
Pedro. and the claim that the driver of
Bay Brino wrongfully pocketed Pedro
when rounding the first tu'n. In trailing
through the first quarter, the driver of the
gray gelding adopted the only course to
win, and the driver of the bay gelding hada
perfect right to occupy the place declined
by the driver OF the other horse.
The facts are that Price Smith drove
Pedro with good judgment, and had the
horse been in better condition the result Of
the race might have been reversed. All
horses at times are liable to be out of fix,
even when the best of care is given them,
and Price, who is known to be good con-
ditioner, is not likely to be at fault for
the want of condition in the horse. With
the exception of his breaking, and run
ming, Bay Brino was driven strictly to rule.
Let those who criticise the action of his
driver on that occasion get in behind that
resolute horse and undertake to drive him
in a race, and they will be convinced it is
easier to find fault than to
control that determined animal.
Spencer drove his horse with rare skill,
and strictly to Erule and is entitled to
much credit for the great improvement
made in Herod, both in his speed and be-
havior while under his management, the
horse not heretofore being the best of &C.
tors, or easy.to manage. His performance
on this occasion was an exceptionally good
one, as the track was slow. being full fet-
lock deep with dust, and if it had been
scraped he could easily have obtained a
low record in the final heat, as he went to
the half IN IL and logged home slowly
from the distance pole to the wire, which
point he reached in 2:264, and showing
no distress after bruising race of five
heats. Such is the little Morgan stall
lion, Capt. Herod.

SeLectin0 the WinIter,

AS an illustration of how different par
ties are governed in selecting the winner
at horse race, the following circumstance
is given which occurred on the track at
Minneapolis on Thursday last. Previous
to the horses being called in the 2:26 class,
the probabilities as to the result of the
race between Capt. Herod and Pedro were
being discussed by a quartette of horse
men, long connected with the trotting
turf, when the opinion of one of the num-
Der was asked, who replied as follows
"Well, in the first place, Herod is in the
best condition fully up to his speed and
acting we'll, while Pedro is not in even fair
condiIlon, and is not acting we'll, but is
breaking badly in the first part of the mile.
At least such has been his action so far
this season, anG ~ appearance to-day
does not show al; provement of condi-
ton. True. he Is Liable during the race.
to make oDo or two of his great burst of
speed from the half mile post home, and
win heat, perhaps two, but mark me, if
he does, it will cook him for the balance of
the race. You are aware he is a horse
that prefers short race to a long one,
while on the other hand, Hero6, as you all
know, can trot heats until sundown, and
the last with as much game and speed as
the first, and therefore to meet expenses
l intend to buy few pools on Herod.'
Thus voicing the sentiment of the whole
party, they advanced to the pool stand,
and like sensible men, having practical
reason for their action invested their
money on Herod against the field, on the
principle that bet ''well laid is half won.'
In contradictive to this trio of festive
youths from st. Paul made their appeer-
ance on the grounds. They had come to
the races, and of course the proper thing
to do was to invest on the result of the
race, and they Immediately commenced
buying the field at six to ten against
Herod, taking the bobtail chance because
it was the cheapest, ,on the principal that if
they lost they would lose less. They soon
found themselves with fifty or sixty dol
lars in the box, end the only chance of
getting it out was to have the poorest
horse win. After the races were ended
they retired in good order not with as
much wealth as when they came, but they
knew more.

The ? aG Race at Minneo po,is.

The report of the 2:26 race at Mime
apolis published in the GLOBE on Friday
last by implication does the judges and
two of the drivers an injustice. To the
judges, when it states that the worst of the
send off was repeatedly given to Pedro,
and to the drivers, when it states that Bay
Brino was simply entered to defeat Pedro.
Perhaps the greatest mistake was in con-
founding the "public" with class that
always howl when the few dollars they
have staked on the result of race is
imperiled. The repeated statement that
the word was given when Pedro was at
a disadvantage is as senseless as the CRY of
the public in the grand stand, "see them
pocket Pedro" Such protests came from
those that did not comprehend or under
stand the circumstances but supposed that
the fact of the driver of the gray gelding
preferring to trail Herod, the pole horse,
around the turn and through the first
quarter was not his own act, but the result
of the combined action OF the drivers of
Herod and Bay Brino, to prevent Pedl o
from winning. 1t is we'll known that
Pedro is slow to come up for the start,
whils both Herod and the by gelding, are
ra pid scorers, and that it Is simply i'm
them to initiate the indiffrent action of
Pedro at the commencement of heat.
The characteristics of Pedro when in

The Turf, Field and Farm says: In
June, 1880, the editor of the american Tttrt
Register wrote:
We attended the trotting match at New York
between Ephraim Smooth and two others last
week, in company with noble-hearted son of
the Old Domin. on-one that is fond of the turf
and can take beating, having run thirty success
sive races without winning purse or heat. He
undertook to time the trotters, but actually fell
asleep. The three miles were done in min I6
sect. When he woke up he said it was the first
trOtting match he had seen, and he never wished
to see another.
In forty odd years great strides have
been made in the development of the trot-
ter. Now we see a green horse start in a
three minute class for a mile and make a
record of 2:17. The noble hearted sons of
Virginia did not appreciate the trotter in
1880, but they have woke up to his value
in 1883. The three-mile time has not
been cut down like the mile record, for
the reason that we have but few races at
three miles.
