sENAron STAMFORD on sPEEp.
HS Believes That sunol win Trot
Milo In 2iOt Next Season.

| The extreme limit OF speed ultimately
to bo attained by the trOttcr is an inter-
csting point that can not be settled now,
because the trotter Is m process of dovel-
opment, and the perfect type has not yet
been produced. But Senator stamford
evidently cherishes a notion that sunol
is not far from II ut any rdtc. lie was in
Montreal last week, and, reing inter
viewed, talked In a very interesting way
about horses and what he OK poets SunOI
to do this year. The mark he sets for
the iilly is so low that few will believe
that she will attain IL. Asked II II
was true that he had sold sunol to Mr..
Bonner for $4,000, he said;
"Yes | did sell the mare to Mr.. Bon
ner, but the price is q secret"
What time do you expect her to
make2'
81 think she will do the mile In 2;Oi,
provided she winters we'll, Sunol would
have Lowered her present record before
ally not known, that suuol had tho dis
temper IN the early part Of the summer,
rom which she did not fully recover un-
Ill nearly the end of tho season.
DO You think 1t possible that Sunol
and Maud 5. will try conclusions before
] lllt next season u ONtrf
II do not think so, but both will bo
sent to lower their records
"What time do you think Maud 8.
will makoP'
"That, Of course, could not say for
certain, Fit and well the queen should
lower her record by several seconds, but
! feel sure sunol will beat IL, She is
better made marc all round than Maud
s."
] stkNIas l. L..
opinion that tr0ttcrs will ever maker
About 2;O2 or 2:03 at thc most. Some
are OF the opinion that level ? minutes
| viii be reached, | am not. When YOU
consider mat horse will have ~ travel
a quarter in % scconds 1t looks like ask
| inp too much OF any piece of horse flesh.
Maud s., / think can do the quarter In
20 seconds, but not less
Are You in favor Of crossing the
ttottor with thoroughbred m aros2'
"Nes. There is llttlo doubt the best
ttdttcrs are got this way, but great caro-
should be taken In selecting the brood
mares. Form, height, s;,d l.ead hayo to
be taken into consideration. For my
own part tho head Is the principal feat
urc, and II 10 not like horse's head,
then do not purchase IT,"
What do you think OF ANtoll2"
'lle must be great horse. and is sur
TO lower his iccoru next season.
| 'Mhat abOut tuyY'
That is another great horse, but they
say he has bad head but horse that
can travel ia 2;l2 according to my opin-
ion, can not have bad head the fault
lies sopcwh here else. IL Is more than
likely It Is with his feet You see. n
horse travelling at such great speed
plants bis feet down with terrific iorco.
and the. slightest injury to them will
cause him 10 lit his feet. He would
never have covered the mile in that time
| IL lac had "A bad head"
WHY did you part with Sunol?"
well, L hardly know, but she will bo
in safe hands, and hope TO have tho
luck to get another flyer of tho first
water out Of the brood mares have on
my ranch. have still the sire and dam
OF Sunol. both In the best of health, and
see no reason why they should not pro-
duce AS good, II not better one than
what feel will be the queen of the trot-
1 ting world for lsy0. forgot to tell you
that there has been q doubt In my mind
as to what time n thoroughbred can
make, hitched to sulSy. | think the
time can be dono in i;G6, and when 40
TO California will try the experiment"
