THE FIRST Event.
The trial of Jay Eye See was promptly
called at 3 O'Clock. Presently there was a
movement in the direction of the stables
and Ed. Bithers, driver of JAY Eye See,
was seen preparing to jog the little wonder.
His purple cap and driving jacket making
him conspicuous in the group in front
of the quarters of the horses. Jay Eye
See was brought ont blanketed, and was
soon hitched to q sulky. Bithers took
his place behind him, and the little flyer,
followed by a crowd of admirers, logged
to the gate leading 20 the stretch. As
the multitude at the grand stand caught
sight OF the famous horse a shout of greet
ing swelled forth, which was taken up by
the groups il other parts Of the grounds,
and as the noble animal turned into the
stretch and passed down in front of the
judges stand the applause rose in a
DEAFENING CHEER
The circuit of the track was made in an
easy gait, and after one or two more
turns Bithers signifed his intentions to go
an easy mile to warm up. The announce
ment was made by the judges, and Jay
Eye See came down at an easy pace for
the word. He went away from the wire
trotting evenly and without flaw, though,
of course, Bithers had to hold
him back. He went up to
the quarter post in IS seconds.
The second quarter was somewhat slower,
and he passed the half in l:l2s and the
t~hree-quarters in l:493, jogging under the
wire in 2:223. The horse was then taken
back to the stable 10 be rubbed down.

the greatest event in the
nIsToRY or THE TURF.
Jay-Eye-See came on the track, and
as he swung into the stretch the
Judges announced he would make
an attempt to beat his record. Jim
Murphy, behind his own running horse,
was also on the stretch limbering out, as
he was to go q mile with Jay Eye e to
give the little flyer courage and force him
to a faster gait if necessary. After
jogging down the stretch once or twice
Jay Eye See turned and came down to
the wire for the word. As Go" was
shouted the little gelding
SPED AWAY NRoUND THE TURN
with the runner about eight lengths be-
hind. Never did horse work more evenly
than did Jay Eye See, and it seemed as
if he was a piece of machinery, and not a
thing with life, so perfect was his actions,
Up the quarter he went in 334 with
the runner trailing four lengths
behind, and as he sped into tn
straight, Bithera cut him loose,
Faster and faster were his strides. At the
half the watches registered los, a 2;IO
gait. Around the upper turn it seemed
as if he was flying, and as fast as had
been his gait on the back stretch it was
forced up now
TO SOMETHING TERRIFIC.
On and on he went, without suspicion Of
a break, passing the three-quarter post in
El:S9, At this point the unner pulled up
even with the trotter, and now began the
final struggle. Down he came without a
skip, every stride telling in a momentous
race ag ainst the fast flying seconds. Bith-
ers had not yet used his whip, and the
gallant flyer speeds under the wire. There
is a momentaJy hustle, and then suddenly
the cry, He has done it, is raised by
