the record would stand; but that
he would knock one and three-Quarters
seconds from it, the widest enthusiast
did not dream. George Starr was be-
hind Father John as helper. Williams
nodded for the word at the second at
tempt, and the great fight was begun.
With that smooth action that marks
him as the purest-gaited horse that ever

TOO fast" says Col. COnley, and sigh
goes up from the crowd as it is felt that
the drive is made too soon. Still the
game colt goes on, his courage faster
and faster. Thirty-two and a quarter
is the gait to the three-quarter post.
With never a falter. he breasts the hi

or false stroke, he finishes the mile
strong in 2;12. Thus, at one stroke he
reduced the three-year-Old record one
and three-quarter seconds, also the
record for stations at all ages. Pande-
mOnium broke loose; the stretch is
black with shouting, yelling mob.
Williams is taken from the Sulky and
borne aloft on mems shoulders, and
cheer after cheer goes up for the gallant
colt and driver. The official timers
were j. III. Steiner, secretary of the
American TrOtting associations; A. Il:
Brush, of Detroit, and Col. Conley, OF
Chicago. Their watches agreed exact
ly on all fractions of the mile. The
watches of Judges Beauchamp and
Moran told exactly the same tale. The
track is seven feet over mile by OIL
cial survey. The unfinished three-year-
old trot brought over from yesterday
was quickly disposed of, Fortuna taking
the lead and never being headed.
