Their than the eighth She was driven by
w. j. Andrews who gave her her head
and allowed her to go as fast as she wanted
to without the least urging or touch of
the whip. Mr.. Hanlin was highly elated
over the result, and thought If she could
carry such clip for IN eighth she ought to
trot quarter in 80, and il she accomplish
ed that he believes she can beat the record
of Maud s. C20Sa At least he says he
will try to dethroue the present queen OF

stallion owned by f. Bowman Of Rutland,
is a half brother to Belle Hamin, and is

Belle Hamlin will be interested in reading

with him to the woods. Although the tel
egraph reports that his handsome mare
has Just trotted furlong in 149 seconds,
which is better than a two minute gait,
the Turf Field and Farm is authorized TO
match Sunol against Belle Hamlin for SO
900 a side, half forfeit, winner to take the
entire stake and entire gate money track

There seems TO he "a lamentable want o
harmony in action between the caster
ana western racing associations as regard
the enforcement of the sentences on delin
quent jockeys. 1t creates an eXceedingl
bad precedent to ignore the rulings of an
race track of good standing and may lea
to serious complications in the future.
