Maud S at Clereland.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. at has been a
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
a 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 S
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.
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
32M, the half mile in 1904,
three-quarter post in 1861, full mile in
1909. Three gentlemen timed her in the
judges stand. David Bonner, of New York,
made her time 2:09I; W. B. Farig, secretary
of the Cleveland Driving park, 2:Og 3-5; J.
Cummings, president of the Toledo Driving
park, 2:09I. Several watches in the box
and opposite the judges stand marked
2:091s. President Edwards announced the
time was a record, inasmuch as wager Of
500 was made on the trial, D. H. Louder
bach, of Chicago, putting up 800 with Capt.
George NJ. Stone, manager of Maud S., that
she would trot better than 2:11L. The
track is estimated Is to 2 seconds slower
to-day than the Providence track.

with enthusiasm when the mare crossed the
score and again wheIi 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 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 2:0S 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 2:09M 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 Heratd will say: 1t was on
Friday, August 1, 1884, that Jay Eye See
robbed Maud S of her record and left her the
dethroned queen Of the turf. Yesterday,
after a night of thought over the diadem
gone, the ex-queen wrested the laurels from
the little black geldng 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 a second, and her
own record by half a second, making the
full round of the Chenille track in 2:09s4. 1t
was grand performance and constitutes a
record, for Capt. Geo. L. Stone, who has
charge Of the mare, wagered 500 that she
would not beat 2:1115 with Mr.. Landerbuck,
of Chicago. Two other bets were made. No
runner accompanied the queen. 1t was a
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
/ Is seconds slower than the Providence track.
The trick was done between the third heat
of the free-for-all pacing race and the 3 ~
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 2;30 clip, and then scored. The
first time down he got the word and went
away beautifully and close to the rail. 1t
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 a
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 1t knew the pace was fast On
went the queen around. When fully ex
tended she was a picture. Bair's mouth
could be seen moving by strong glass, but
it was quiet talk he was
giving the mare and she moved well under
it. The pace was kept up to the one-half
and round the turn to the thir 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 it, and, with rush, was under the
wire, and, by shout from the judges stand,
everybody knew that the record was beaten,
and such scene has never been seen since
the memorable victory OF Smuggler over
Goldsmith in 1875. Women and men
cheered until they were hoarse, and fresh
burst went up when the figures 2;09A were
hung up. Bair received an ovation.
The :33 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, 2:20h, 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
and won on its merits. Richball was the
favorite in the pools at long odds over the
field. Time, 2:1S1, 2:162l, 2:154.
The . 90 trot was well contested St. Al
bans was strong favorite in the pools and
won cleverly. The third and fourth money
were divided between Thornburg and Cam
eron. Time, 2:2OSi, 2:20sl, 2:193l, 2:224
In the 2:19 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, 2:1eH, 2:174.
The regular schedule was finished.
