Sunol went another wonderfully last
mile last Saturday at Chicago. Accom-
panied by running mate the great lilly
made the circuit of the track in 2:10R, equal
ing her three-year-old time, and breaking
the four-year-old record made by herself
at Buffalo Of 2:1l u. 1t was announced also
that if all the conditions were favorable
she would attempt to beat Maud SIS mark
of 2:CSA. In this she was unsuccessful.
According TO the accounts received the first
quarter was made in 0;32, 2:0S gait, and
the half in ;05A. In the last quarter Mar
win sent her along very strong and proved
that with a little more tuning up, Maud So
mark will very likely be equaled if not
beaten. Marvin will take her and Palo
Alto to Philadelphia where, on September
4tI, over the Belmont Park track she will
be sent against Maud SIS record Palo
Alto will also try to reduce the stallion rec
ord of PIP, now held by AXtell.
RECOVERED HIS LAURELS.
Palo Alto has recovered the laureIs he
lost 10 Jack in their great match race, by
defeating the fast gray for the second time
in an open race. Tie race went to Palo
Alto in straight heats Of 21SA, 215 and
2:13; Jack finished second.
a GAME CAMPAIGNER.
The result makes Palo Alto the gamest
and best campaigner of the year, and is of
great interest to breeders, as it does away
with the old ideas that tIotters with such
strong thoroughbred strains as Palo Alto
has, would not make consistent campaign
ers. The time of 2;13, made in the third
he at, is the fastest ever tTUtted In a race,
and lowers Maud SIS record Of 2:l3R,
made in 1880, by half a second. 1t must he
remembered, however, that Jack was very
close to Palo Alto all through the
winner who was he steadier In 1.-THE
match with jack the conditions were re-
versed, for it was PalO Alto that kept
breaking and Jack that stayed down. Ialo
Alto and Jack are very nearly even up in
S eed. and when they meet again the one IN
the best condition will win.
MATCHED AGAIN.
In This connection it is stated that the
Palo Alto people received news on Satur-
day that Marvin had induced poble to
make another match between the two
cracks No date or track has yet been de-
cided upon, but tie race is announced as
definitely made.
LOCAL RACING.
The Napa Fair meeting closed last Satur-
day. and was only measurably successful
as far as racing was concerned. For some
reason or another more interest was shown
in The outside attractions, such as the bal
loon ascension, than in seeing the trotters
contend or the runners compete. This lack
of interest is assigned by some to the small
fields tlbuph r. cinp has lppn Hu0nph
the iav0rltes losing oftener than winning
and the So-calied talent getting rid OF lis
cash in short order. Petaluma's fair conf
mences to-day and lasts the week, and then
Oakland opens on September Isl, ITS meet
ing continuing for nine days. The State
Fair a Sacramento follows Oakland and
continues until the Goth.
TO BREAK THE RECORD.
If the track and day are good, Tenny, the
game but unlucky competitor against the
two HaggIn wonders, Salvador and Flrenz,
will attempt to beat Ten Br0eck's mile Zee
ord oil l 39% over the Brighton Beach track
to-day. The association offers ID. /. Pull
slfeT, Tenny's owner, $500 to make the
trial, and if the time is beaten adds $500
more. Tie Brighton Beach track is not
phenomenaliy fast one, but 1t will be spe-
clally prepared Tor the run, and will be-
made at least a second faster than ut any
time this Year Ienny Will be accompanied
by several other runners TO encourage him
to do his best. He will carry lis pounds
When Ten Brock made lis record in 1877
over the Louisville track he had up 10
pounds. lie general opinion OF the East
ern hOTSemen who have seen Tenny run
this season is that the colt will succeed.
Tenny is now at the track preparing for his
trial. There Is also report in circulation
that if Tenny breaks the record Saliva
tor will also be sent, not only TO beat Ten
Broeck's time. but Ienny's also, and that
the trial will be made this week over the
Monmouth Park track. This return to the
Uld-tme runs against time should prove
most attractive To horsemen, as ii will be
the first attempt since 1877 TO bring such an
event off.
TIRED OF TRoTTING.
There is much complaint among the East
ern trotting associations that public inter
est in trOtting events is dying out and that
the attendance is decreasing every year.
The recent grand circuit meetings were but
poorly patronlZed, and the cry is, What
shall be done 10 revive the inlerestY" The
idea prevails that radical changes must be
made to attract the public, and the matter
will probably be considered before long by
the American clearinghouse Breeders AS
ISOLATION, which may recommend many
changes to the racing association. The
New York Spirit of the Times has taken
the question up, and one of its leading con-
tributors expresses himself ON the subject
as follows:

"PLUNGER" WALTON.
"Plunger" Walton has lately told the
story of his great campaign against the
British b0Ok-makers some years ago, and
this is what he SAYS about his winnings:

dollar, got interested and made there what
the world would call fortune. l first put
