b CLEVELAND, O., Aug. at has been
great day at the driving park. On account
of the rain interfering with the programme
of the week the sport began at II this morn
ing, and continued without interruption till
5, when the races were finished. The attend
ance was large, the weather pleasant, except
short shower at 10 o'clock, and the track
good At 4:30, before the third heat of the
pacing race, and the 2:27 class trot, Maud
was brought on the track, and, after little
warming up, Vim. Barr, her driver, nodded
for start and gave tie mare her head. She
strobe off in the smoothest conceivable man
ner, unattended by any horse to urge her
along, and made the entire circuit like per-
feet walking. machine, without skip. She
passed the first quarter post in
3234, the half mile in 1904,
three-quarter post in 1861, full mile in
2:09%. Three gentlemen timed her in the
judges stand. David Bonner, of New York,
made her time 2:09M; W. B. Farig, secretary
of the Cleveland Driving park, 2:09 3-5; j.
Cummings, president of the Toledo Driving
park, 2:0915. Several watches in the box
aud opposite the judges stand marked
2:0915. President Edwards announced the
time was a record, inasmuch as wager of
800 was made on the trial, D. H. Louder
bach, of Chicago, putting up 500 with Capt.
George NJ. Stone, manager of Maud S., that
she would trot better than 2:1115. The
track is estimated 1 Is to 2 seconds slower
to-day than the Providence track.
The great crowd Of spectators went wild
with enthusiasm when the mare crossed the
score and again when the time was bulletined,
showing all previous records were beaten and
that the handsome mare had made the fast
est mile ever trotted. She exhibited no sign
of distress after her unparalleled perform
ance, and was led to her stable amid excited
cheering, followed by a crowd of jubilant
admirers. She has had no work for ten days.
Capt. Stone is confident she could easily trot
the same track Monday in EOS or better, and
is more than ever confident she is the fastest
trotter in the world.
President Edwards telegraphed A. H. Van
derbilt: "Allow me to congratulate you
Maud s. still reigns supreme. Her record
is 2:09% on slow track. Before ordering
her home come and see her trot in 2:07 or
2:0S. We are all happy.
To-morrow's Herald will say: 1t was on
Friday, August l., 1884, that Jay Eye See
robbed Maud S of her record and left her the
dethroned queen of the turf. Yesterday,
after night Of thought over the diadem
gone, the ex-queen wrested the laurels from
the little black gelding and took it to herself
again, for on track at least two seconds
slow she beat the figures of Jay Eye See by
one-fourth of second, and her
own record by half second, making the
full round of the Chenille track in 2:09M. 1t
was grand performance and constitutes
record, for Capt. Geo. L. Stone, who has
charge Of the mare, wagered 500 that she
would not beat 2:111% with Mr.. Landerbuck,
of Chicago. Two other bets were made. No
runner accompanied the queen. 1t was
clean, unaided trotting trip on track that
had been brushed on the pole line but once.
Such horsemen as Orrin A. Hickok and A.
w. Campbell pronounced the going at least
19s seconds slower than the Providence track.
The trick was done between the third heat
of the ee-for-all pacing race and the 2 :27
class in trotting. A light rain had fallen
twenty minutes before and improved the
track. Bair, quiet as usual and in black,
warmed the mare up by couple of jags
around at 80 clip, and then scored. The
first time down he got the word and went
away beautifully and close to the rail- It
had been said Maud s. was not to go faster
| than 2:1S, but when horsemen saw
the clip that took her to the quarter pool selling
was suspended, and everybody crowded to
the highest point to watch the trip. Not
move was made but was perfect and square
| trotting. As she passed the quarter MUIR
muir rose from the judges stand, and those
who heard it knew the pace was fast. On
went the queen around When fully ex
tended she was a picture. BARS mouth
could be seen moving by strong glass, but
| it was quiet talk he was
giving the mare and she moved vel under
| it. The pace was kept up to the one-half
and round the turn to the third quarter and
everybody wondered how she could keep it
up. She did, and moving like machinery
| she came to the wire, shouts rose on the air,
and whether they ratified Maud or whether
she was tired was not known until she came
| in, but she faltered at the band stand and
Bair laid on the whip. She jumped gamely
| from il, and, with a rush, was under the
wire, and, by shout from the judges stand,
everybody knew that the record was beaten,
and such a scene has never been seen since
the memorable victory of Smuggler over
Goldsmith in 1876. Women and men
oheered until they were hoarse, and fresh
burst went up when the figures 2:094 were
hung up. Bair received an ovation.
The 1913 trot was an easy victory for
Henry Wilkes, strong favorite over the
| field, although Pant Lind took the first heat
handily and hurried Wilkes in the others.
Time, 2:204, 2:19, 2:204, 2:214.
| In the 2:17 class trot Clemmie g. was first
choice. The others were practically out of
the race from the start Clemmie G. first,
Thorne second, Thompson third. Time,
2:161S, 2:1S, 2;1s4.
The free-for-all race was gamely fought
aud won on its merits. Riehball was the
fayorite in the pools at long odds over the
field. Time, 2:1s4, 2:164, 2:154-
The 2:27 trot was we'll contested St. AL
bans was strong favorite in the pools and
won eleverly. The third and fourth money
were divided between Thornburg and Cam
eron. Time, 2:20sl, 2:2O9l, 2:19sl, 2:22sl.
In the 219 class Belle Echo and Catchfy
sold against the field. 1t was pretty race.
Belle Echo and Dick Wright trotted dead
heat for second place in the second heat.
Time, 2:1S1S, 2:16H, 2174-
The regular schedule was finished.
