Maud =. Breaks tho Trotting Record
Again.

other horse. The trial, witnessed by
10000 people, was for cup, and the
time goes on record. She was given a
warming-up heat, and came under the
wire on q Jog in 1928. She was then
taken to her stall and rubbed down.
The first start was unsatisfactory and
the mare was driven back. When she
came down the stretch for the second
time she appeared to be unsteady, but
Bair wanted the word and it was given.
The mare recovered herself before she
had gone far and settled down into an
even clip that was like u whirlwind.
She reached the first quarter in 32a, q
10 gait. Then Bair began To urge her
and she trotted the next quarter in 81
seconds, 2.0S gait; reaching the half
in Lob. She flew on like bird and
the old-timers began to declare. ami DIST
great enthusiasm, that she was break
ing her wonderful record. Passing the
half she increased her speed and went
over the back stretch at a terrific gait.
The third quarter was made in thirty.
one seconds, the fastest one Of the
mile.
On the lower turn she was seen to
raise her head suddenly, aud it seemed
certain she would go oil her feet. Blir
cauget her, however, and on she flew.
Coming up the home stretch the awful
strain began to tell on her, aud she
slowed up. Bair applied the whip, how
ever, and she responded quickly. She
dashed under the wire at Il tremendous
clip, having finished the last quarter in
33l seconds, and the nile in 2.0S3. Such
shout as went up from the multitude
was probably never heard before on a
race track. Men slrieked and
threw their hats up, and ladies stood on
the seats and waved their handkerChiefs
1t was not known by the crowd what
the time was, but it was known to be
fast, and when President Edwards hung
out the card ~ 0S&" and announced
that it was great surprise, as the track
was heavy and slow, another shout
went up that almost shook the grand
stand.
A good deal Of excitement was occa.
stoned by an impromptu race between
two well-known business men last even.
