When we consult the records we see how
rare extreme speed Is. Thousands of horses
have been trained and started In public. and
only fifteen of these have trotted in 215 or
better. The, go performers multiply from
year to year, but admission to the 215 class
in slow. Maud 5. was II years old when she
made her wonderful record; Jay Eye See 6,
st. Julien IL, Rarus II, Maxey Cobb 0, Har-
~ Wilkes II, Phallas Z. Belle Hamln s,
goldsmith Maid IL, Clingstone 7, Trinket G,
Patron 2, Hopeful r. Lula 8, and Majolica 8,
when they performed at their best Gold
smith Maid did not enter upon the turf until
matured, and so her highest development
was obtained late in life. She was the first
trotter that ever reduced the record. I
to 2l4, and for several years she reigned
queen. The, youngest performer in the list
is Patron, who trotted In 219a, as a three
years old. Trinket made record of 2193
when four years old, and as four year old
Maud 5: trotted public trial in 217I. To
lMaxey Cobb belongs the distinction 9f hav.
Goldsmith Maid are dead. All the others
are 7alive but Hopeful, is worn out, and
Trlnket and Lula are in breeding ranks,
while Phallas is in the stud. ST. Julien and
Rarus have grown old gracefully, and the
