pacing performance, that of Commodore
Kittson's Little Brown Jug The team
has been placed in the hands of George P.
Smith, at Hastings, who confidently ex-
poets to see them do mile in few weeks
in several seconds better than 2:3o.
In speaking of Majolica's defeat by
Phallas, the son of Dictator, at the Chi
cago meeting, M. T. Grattan in his report
for the Breeders Gazette, said:
"Majolica was five lengths away before Phal-
las started, and the lead was increased around
the turn to gap that seemed sufficient guaranty
that the race was ended. At the half this lead
had diminished to about eight lengths Maioi-
| ca had reached it in O6, but he now began to
fall rapidly back. 1t will be noticed that while
he reached the half 2:12 gait, he came home
about 2:25 clip, for from the time he was at
| the half until Phallas reached the wire was
1:lO1a. This shows that he had begun to tire,
and what wonder? A slight-built horse, lug
glng twenty-five ounces each foot, would
naturally tire at 2:l2 clip before going far. II
that weight cannot be dispensed with, Majolica's
| career has about ended"
Majolica's performance at Pittsburg in
the special race with Jay Eye See, goes far
to confirm Grattan's judgment, the horse
acting badly in every heat, and at no time
being dangerous.
