proud neck. There was never anything
like il seen bsfore on race track. and i -

Maud =. has retained undisputed posses.
sion of the proud title Queen Of the Turf,
and hcr record az 2lOl was regarded ns

dence. Jay-Eye- See made the circuit OF the
track in 2:lO, and obtained rightful possess

dered him OK king of tho Turf. Maud
s. brought even that record down quarter
OF a second, and again became the cham
pion Of the world. Ii was magnificent
exhibition, and was witnessed by an audi
ence of four thousand people.
II was exactly 4:A o'clock when DIR.
Bair came out Of the stable with Maud >.
and drove down before the judges stand
II was whispered along the line that
she was 10 trot \ fast mile, and hundreds OF
watches were held in readiness. Bair at
frst sent her around a mn easy pace. and
then drove down below the distance stand,
and headed her toward the west. The mare
at once struck a fast gait and when forty
feet below the judges box. Bair nodded fr
the word IL was given him aud the queen
spmng under the wire and began her work.
| Ii was known that she was trotting FAST
| and every eve was 6xed upon her
Gmndly she held her pace, and during the
entire milo there was nothing approaching
4 skip. Her strides were tremendous and
fast. Bair, her driver, did not begin to
urge her until the quarter was passed, and
then he did not crowd her to the utmost.
Az she passed each quarter, hundreds oi
voices announced the fact to those VINO
we're holding their watches, and as each
pole was passed the opinion gained ground
that the mile would be q very speedy one.
4 The first quarter was trotted in 32S seconds,
4 a o:ll gait; tho second in 3lA. 2O6 gait;
| the third in 50, 2:OS gait; and the fourth
| in 33b, q Ala gait. The following, there
fore, is the summary: 32S, Loaf, 1861, and
| 2:O99 A whisper could have been heard
when the queen passed under the wire.
Those who had held watches were uncer-
tain whether they were correct, and waited
the judges announcement
In the latter box the scene was wholly
different 1t was known that the record
had been broken. and every one congntu-
lated every one else. BY and by the
audience began to cry: "Time" -Time!'
whereupon the judges hung up big card
on which were the figures a2Oyi.
Then scene was witnessed such rs had not
been experienced since Goldsmith Mnid fell
behind the fearful strides of Smuggler.
Cheer after cheer was given. Hats, hand-
kerchiefs, umbrellas and canes were waved.
and MS Bair came back to see what the dis
turhance was about he was greeted with m
ovation. He lifted his hat modestly. and
then sent the queen back to the stable.
The time given was the outside time
taken. Mr.. Bonner. of New York, made
