Double Team TrOtting.

A great deal of wonder is being ex-
pressed by the public generally at the
mile in 2:15a made by Mr. Vanderbilt's
pair of mares, Maud S. and Aldine, but
Il careful investigation Of the matter is
all that is needed to show that, while
the performance is undoubtedly q re-
markedly good one, it is not greater
than might have been expected from
the team which made it.
The fact is, that for q matter of nearly
twenty years not the slightest attention
has been paid to double-team trotting,
while the efforts to make horses go a
fast mile in single harness have been
unremitting. The first that was done
in the way OF mountaineering by a
double team was on the 10th Of May,
1862, when MIR. Robert Bonner drove
Lady Palmer and Flatbush Maid a mile
to road wagon in 2:26. Three days
later they went two miles in 5:014, the
last quarter being trotted in thirty-three
seconds. Now at that time 2:1S4 was
the fastest record evermadc by a %trotter,
and yet these two mares, neither Of
whom could beat 2:25 singly, pulled a
wagon the last quarter OF a two-mile
heat at a 2:12 gait-a rate Of speed that
it is doubtful if amy horse then on the
turf could equal. This fact should have
taught people that two horses of similar
temperament and gait could speed
much faster together than singly, but it
does not seem to have done SO, and as
the driving of double teams for speed
was about this time abandoned, the old
fallacy that the fastest time must be
looked for from a trotters in q single
harness retained it's sway.
But the old superstition that q trotter
can 90 faster singly than in double har-
ness is rapidly becoming a thing Of the
past. People see horses that can not.
for the life of them, beat 2:25 alone re-
ducing those figures several seconds
when driven with suitable mates, and
they begin to realize that, with a divis-
ion of the weight and the constant
presence of a horse to. incite the COM
petition of real racing, it is but natural
that a higher rate of speed should be
attained. Nobody believes Aldine ca
pable of trotting alone in 2:159I, and yet
Mr.. Vanderbilt is authority for the state
ment that she kept her traces frightened
all the way during her famous milo
with Maud S. In nearly every instance
of remarkable fast time by teams the
records made in single harness by, the
horses composing them have been
beaten. That the chest on record Will
eventually be made by q team OF trot-
tiers is not, IN view Of recent develop
ments, a matter of much doubt
