Chicago HOrsemAn: SunOl, Senator Stan
fOrd's wonderful filly, which trOtted mile
last fall in 2:lS as 4 wo-year-Old, has been
the subject of much comment OF late, re
ports having been freely circulated thai
she had broken down. In order to place
the real facts before the readers OF the
Horseman, We wired her trainer, Charlie:
Marvin, at Palo A Ito, Menlo Park, Cal
and on Wednesday, June II, received tht
following message in reply from Mr. Mar
win: ''SlnOl working well. No signs ol
breaking down yet" This will be crafty
ing news 20 all horsemen and admirers Oi
the noble trotter who have read the false
report. for there are many thousands who
look to Sunol to reduce the 2:0sSt record OF
of Maud s., the queen of the turf, when she
has attained the proper age.
