NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-The Monmouth
park meeting came to close to-day in
burst of glory. Mr.. Haggin's grand
horse, Salvador, lowered the mile rec
ord by three and three-quarters Sec
opds, running the distance over
straight track with 10 pounds up in
1868. The fact that the trial was to
be made brought big crowd to the
track, and it looked at one time in the
day as if they would be disappointed,
as it was announced by people
who knew the stable that Matt Byrnes
would not let Salvador start unless Muir
ply could ride him. Murphy was under
suspension for his action in the Firenzi
race on Tuesday, and his riding of
Salvador would mean his exOner-
alton from all charges. Matters were
settled after the second race, when the
executive committee, after deliberating
on Murphy's case, decided to suspend
him until after the Sheepshead Bay
and Brooklyn meetings. 1t was not
known by the public. who would have
the mount in the record-breaking race,
until the boOkmakers put up their odds
on the event. Then Bergen's name ap-
peared, and at once there was rush
to bet. The ''bookies" made Salvador
the favOrite, laying to 2 against him.
not break the record. There was
Big Plunge on Salvador,
and his price fell to to 8, while 2 to 1
were laid against the time. Some books
laid to over or under 1:30, and did
large business. There was long delay
after the horn sounded, and when Sal
vator did finally make his appearance,
accompanied by Rosette and Namona,
the pace makers, loud cheer went up.
Slowly the tito cantered up the straight
cloud of dust marked their
progress to the starting point, where
Mr.. Caldwell and half dozen aides
were awaiting them. Salvador and Ma
mona went nearly furlong past the
post, leaving Rosette we'll behind.
Namona went off in front and was ten
lengths past the post before Salvador
reached it, going at hot pace. When
the half post was reached Salvador had
dlstanced Namona twenty lengths, and
was making rapid strides after RoSette,
who had just been started. ROsette,
who is very speedy for five fur
longs, ran under a pull and made
splendid pace maker for Salvador. The
people on the grand stand who held
watches were standing in open-mouthed
amazement at the horses wonderful
speed. The quarter had been travelled
in 23% seconds, the half 4715 seconds,
and Salvador showed no signs of firing.
The watches showed 1:l1I at the three
quarter post, and a furlong fur
ther Bergen begun riding the gallant
chestnut. He brought him past the
wire like whirlwind, and at once
there fell hush on the spectators. The
way in which the timekeepers acted in
dicated that the record had been broken,
and when the figures 1858 were put up
there was wild excitement among the
spectators, which lasted in measure
the rest of the day. Summarizes:
