JAH-EYE-SEE AND PHALLAS FAIL,
and Phallas try to lower their respective
records in q race against time. They
were doomed to disappointment, how
ever, as the record is still unbrOken. The
only fair performance was Jay yEye-See's
first mile, the second quarter being at the
rate of 204 to the mile.
Just before 3 o clock Phallas was brought
out by Bithers Hiram Howe waited at
the top of the stretch with Dave Gideon,
who had been hitched up to a sulky
Bithers, nodding his readiness, went off
with Phallas at jog, making the quarter
in 39I, half mile in 11422, three quarters
mile in 1:495 and the full mile in 2;25t.
In half an hour Phallas was brought out
again to speed a mile. The strong south
erly winds seemed to bother him, and he
broke, but at the third attempt he got
the word, and went to the first quarter in
80. the half mile in 1919, the three,
quarter in 1 III and the mile in 2:104.
Jay. Eve See was now brought out Tor
a warming up. He did quarter in 37l.
half mile in 1:13I three-quarters in Az
and the mile in 2211. Then came Phal,
las second trial, and he went the mile in
2:2O4. The stallion broke badly while
going along the back stretch and also
when he squared for home The betting
was now 81OO to $50 that Jay-Eye Sec
would not do 2:12. The gelding went to
the quarter in 334., the half in 1;O4t, the
three quarters in 1871 and the mile in
2:12I. nj,
In order to give him good rest, Ph1lo
las was again brought out. This time he
travelled to the quarter pole in II Z, the
half in 1:O7, three-Quarters in 1;43f, and
the mile in 217l. Then ensued long
wait, and when Jay Eye See did come
on the track, Bithers brought him down
to the score at a fine rate Of speed, gong
to the quarter in 35II, the half mile in
/ :O8I, three quarters in 1:4O1 and the
mile in 2:144. This closed the exhibition
