Efforts of the Horses to Beat All Previous
Records.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 15.-Not since the event
full day when Maud S. trotted the fastest three
consecutive heats ever recorded, 2l2 2:13t, 2124,
has there been such an attendance at Belmont
course as was gathered there to-day, when
Iay-Eye-See and Phallas attempted to
break the record made by Maude S., and
2:13 3-4 the best for stations, made by Phallas
himself at Chicago The mile records were not
broken but the time made by both horses more
than met the expectations of the majority of
the spectators. Jay Eye-see beat the record
for three -fourths of a mile and but for
a losing break just after entering the
last quarter, without doubt he would have
clipped second or more off of Maud SIS fastest
time. Phallas failed to equal his own best per
Torrance, but he trotted the three fastest con-
secutiye heats ever recorded by stall
lion, the slowest being better than
the best record of any other stallion.
The attendance was from 10000 to $4,000

Bithers, who drives both Jay Eye-See and
Phallis, said Just before the horses were brought
out: 'sIll beat Maud SIS time-2:12-on this
track sure with Jay Eye-See but doubt if
Phallis beats 2:13aa. Jay Eye See is just aboutto
an edge. He is Just where we want him.
Promptly at 3 o'clock Mr.. Van Osten, who acted
as starter, called out the trotters, and Phallis
made his appearance Fifteen minutes later
there VIA murmur of admiration from the spec
tators as the stallion slowly logged past the
grand stand He was given a couple of slow
miles, and then went IN Eli Ia

a serape down Phallis was accompanied by a bay
running horse hitched to sulky and driven by
Charles Myers After three times scoring with
out the runner and once with him, Bithers finally
nodded for the word, and the big bay stallion
went off with smooth powerful gait,
He passed the first pole in "a seconds
without a skip but left his feet
for an instant at entering the second quarter,
but only for an instant Bithers had him In
hand before he had taken three strides, and he
passed the half as level as die in 106a. three
quarters in lao, and finished strong in 215,
amid loud applause.
Jay Eye See was next introduced to the
people, and he passed the grand stand
amid handclapping. The sulky he pulled

a warmer in $50. While he was cooling out, ~
Phalis was repeated in 2:144, runner as before,
accompanying him. Phallis went to the half
without skip in l:053, doing the second
quarter in thirty two seconds just after pass
ing the half mile he was sup" for few steps,
but Bithers caught him cleverly, and he finished
the mile like clock-work, and did the last quar-
ter in 1891.
