CLEVELAND, o., July S1.-Maud S.,
the peerless Queen of the Turf, earned
her promised retirement at the Glenville
track yesterday. beating her own record
by full half second, amid cheers and
the widest applause of 10000 people.
She was brought out about
five o'clock, and was. given a
"warming heat" which she
made in 2:29. Then heat
of the 2:30 class was had while Maud S.
was getting her wind and muscle up for
her great effort She was driven to the
three quarter turn and brought down the
stretch ut good jog, and when the word
was given to 60 she fairly leaped into
the air, seeming to fly up on wings. she
reached the quarter pole in splendid
shape, but there she broke all
to pieces, and had to be reduced to a
walk to bring her down. Bair brought
her back, and as she passed the grand
stand she seemed to act as if she was
ashamed of herself. Another start was
made, and the beautiful little mare Shot
under the wire like rocket. She pre-
served this gait all the way around, COM
ing in with eyes flashing and her breath
snorting victory. The shinsle was dis.
played from the judges stand bearing

rife shout went up, and thousand
voices screamed: ''She's done it. "

THE CATTLE ORDER.

A Possibility That the Forty-Dny rrocIa.
nation May be Modified-Dis turber to b =
Arrested.
WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The President
and Secretary Lamar appreciate that to
eXpel the cattlemen from the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe leased lands within the forty
days prescribed in the proclamation will
entail needless sacrifice and pecuniary
losses without any compensating advantage
to the Government or Indians, and hence
are disposed to grant additional time. No
further action, however, will be taken until
the return Of General Sheridan and the
committee of cattlemen, who are expected
to arrive during the week, shall have had an
opportunity to present their side of the
case. The report scattered about last night
that maximum extension of one hun
bred days had been solicited is incor-
rect No exact period of extension has as
yet been suggested to or considered by the
Administration, and this matter will not be
definitely settled until the President has
been advised of the exact situation of af-
fairs. A delegation OF cattlemen are i'm the
city and have called on the President and
the Secretary of the Interior, and have asked
for an extension of time allowed them to re-
move their cattle from the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indian Reservations under the re-
cent order of the President There is a large
quantity of land in other reservations which
is occupied in the same way. but no order
of this kind has been made in regard to
them. although this may be regarded as
precedent for further action to follow.
