The American Turf.
E New YORK, July 30th.-The Herald says
of the Saratoga races yesterday: The three
uuarter dash which opened the sport, was
great surprise to the experts, who had
revised their previous nights opinion and
selected Jim Renwick as a sure winner.
The California crack managed to get in
third, but pulled up lame, which probably
accounts for his poor showing. French
pools on this race paid nearly S110.
Haggin has entered Fortuna for the Red
Bank stakes for two-year-olds, at Saratoga
to-day. The Dwyer Brothers colt Buffalo
is her only competitor of note. Fortuna
sells first choice in all the pool-rooms.

THE TRoTTING RECORD AGAIN LOWERED. :
CLEVELAND, July 30th.- Maud S. re-
newed her claims to the title of Queen of
the Turf at the Glennyille track to-day, in
the presence of 10000 people. The fleet
little mare trotted a mile over slow course
in 2:0Sf. This beats her previous record by
half a second, and is one second and a half
faster than the best mile ever trotted by
another horse The trial was for a cup,
and the time goes on record. NOtwith-
standing that Mr.. Bonner requested that no
pools he sold on the trial, and q bulletin to
that effect was posted up, there was great
deal of private betting the odds being
about $25 to IS that the mare would
fail. sporting men betting heavily that the
record would not be lowered. When the
mare came down the stretch for the trial
she appeared to be unsteady, but Bair
wanted the word, and it was given. She
recovered herself before she had gone far
and settled down into an even clip that was
like a whirlwind. Shereached the quarter
in pa 2:l0 gait. Then Bair began to
urge her, and she trotted the second quar-
ter in % seconds-a POS gait Reaching
the half in l:0l!. she flew in like a bird
and old timers began to declare that she
was breaking her wonderful record. Pass
ing the half she increased her speed. and
went over the backstretch at q terrific
gait. The third quarter was J0lted in 81
secOnds-the fastest one of the mile. On
the lower turn she was seen to raise her
head suddenly, and it seemed certain that
she would 20 off her feet Bair caught her
however, and on she flew. Coming up the
homestretch the awful strain began to tell
on her, and she slowed up. Bair applied
the whip, however. and she responded
quickly. She dashed under the wire at
i. l. ! Al.
quarter in 33l seconds, and the mile in
2:0S4. No one except the judges and re-
porters knew the record had been broken.
There was great excitement in the Judges
stand. The watches of the three official
timers-President William Edwards, C. f.
Emery and \. L. Hunting-had stopped at
2:0S4. Edwards made the announcement,
and wild scene followed. Dair was loaded
down with roses, and the mare was pre-
scented with floral collar Edwards hast
lily wrote the following telegram:
Robert Bonner, Ne,c York: The Cleveland AS
ISOLATION congratulate you most heartily, and
thank you most sincerely for allowing your
peerless queen, Maud s., TO show the people
how easily she beat her record in the wonder
full time of 20%}I on track certainly one sec
ond slow, having had "a hard rain at midnight.
WILLIAM EDWARDS, President.
HATTIE b. s DEFEAT.
New YORK, July 30th-It was a matter
of surprise to the CalifornianS in the East,
and turfmen generally, that in the race for
the BillOw stakes last Saturday. Duffy so
completely lost control of Hattie B., when
the mare could easily have won the race.
1t has just leaked out that Duffy took the
mount against the advice of Claypool and
the stable trainers, but by an imperative
order of Haggln Duffy had ridden at 104
pounds early in the day, and the necessary
reduction made him very weak. Hattie
B. had to carry 142 pounds, and the Cali
fornia Jockey was unequal to the task Of
controlling her While the money loss to
the hackers of the Pacific coast Jumper was
quite heavy, the trainers of the stable were
glad to see the mare defeated, as proving
that Duffy was in no condition to ride her.
Army of the Potomac Excursion Rates.
NEW YORK, July 30th.-General Horace
c. King, Secretary of the Society of
the Army of the Potomac, this morn
ing said the latest rate fixed for the
round "trip to San Francisco next year was
500. Agent Malcolm, of the Atchison, To-
peka and Santa Fe said he understood that
all Unconstitutional lines west of the Mis-
souri, had made the rate $50 for the round
trip. Passenger agent Seaman. of the
Union Pacific, said the rate would probably
MOI ne ueCluCO upon Tie emu Vi IBp
year, though the Eastern agents were now
at work upon it. In his opinion, the round
trip rate would be from $40 to S100-Cer-
tainly not less than $75.
Rumor Set at Rest.
NEW YORK, July 30th.-The Union Pa
cifc officials said to-day regarding the
statement that there was trouble in the
California fast freight owing to the inhar-
monious treatment of the Central and
Southern Pacific interests, that there was
no truth in that story Why, the Central
Pacific furnished 800 cars to the freight
line, besides being one of the origiuators,
and one of the companies by which the
line is owned and operated. This rumor
probably started from the fact that the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy was interested
in the fast freight line mentioned by way
of Denver. 1t was understood that they
woul pay their share of the proportion of
other expenses. including share of the
rolling stock. They've not done this, butt
in no way affects the working of the line
